Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system for delivering contextually relevant streaming media content embodied in a mobile device, wherein the media stream includes one or more media content segments content selected from a plurality of media content segments content based on the current location of the mobile device.

Claims (21)

1 . A system for delivering contextually relevant streaming media content embodied in a mobile device comprising:

a controller;

a user input-output subsystem;

a communication subsystem;

a location subsystem controlled by the controller;

a media output subsystem controlled by the controller;

a memory coupled to the controller, wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions executable by the controller;

wherein in response to executing the program instructions, the controller is configured to:

receive, via the user input-output subsystem, a user command to receive streaming media content from a media server;

receive, via the location subsystem, a current location of the mobile device;

provide, via the communication subsystem, the current location of the mobile device to the media server; and

in response to providing the current location of the mobile device to the media server, receive, via the communication subsystem, a contextually relevant media stream, wherein the contextually relevant media stream includes one or more media content segments selected from a plurality of media content segments based on the current location of the mobile device.

2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the selected media content segment includes traffic information.

3 . The system of claim 1 wherein the selected media content segment includes regional specific news.

4 . The system of claim 1 wherein the selected media content segment includes regional sports news.

5 . The system of claim 1 wherein the selection of the media content segment is further based on a temporal relevance tag associated with the media content segment, wherein the temporal relevance tag indicates an expiration time associated with the selected media content segment.

6 . The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of media content segments are stored in a database, wherein the database includes a location tag associated with each of the plurality of media content segments, wherein the contextually relevant media stream includes one or more media content segments associated with the location tag that matches the current location of the mobile device.

7 . The system of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to assign a plurality of regions to a geographical area, wherein the contextually relevant media stream includes one or more media content segments associated with the region associated with the current location of the mobile device.

8 . The system of claim 1 wherein the selected media content segment includes traffic information, wherein the selected media content segment is delivered to the mobile device when the current location of the mobile device matches a reference point location.

9 . The system of claim 8 wherein the reference point location is associated with a geographical landmark.

10 . The system of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to receive a commute route including a plurality of locations from the mobile device, wherein the selected media content segment includes traffic information relevant to the plurality of locations associated with the received commute route.
