Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for adaptive media playback based on destination. The method for adaptive media playback comprises determining one or more destinations, collecting media content that is relevant to or describes the one or more destinations, assembling the media content into a program, and outputting the program. In various embodiments, media content may be advertising, consumer-generated, based on real-time events, based on a schedule, or assembled to fit within an estimated available time. Media content may be assembled using an adaptation engine that selects a plurality of media segments that fit in the estimated available time, orders the plurality of media segments, alters at least one of the plurality of media segments to fit the estimated available time, if necessary, and creates a playlist of selected media content containing the plurality of media segments.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

generating, via a processor, a first media presentation having a duration associated with an estimated time to travel to a destination along a first route, the first media presentation having a first content that is relevant to a first location along the first route to the destination when the first content is played;

generating an updated estimated time to travel to the destination based on a route change from the first route to a second route; and

generating, via the processor, a second media presentation by:

modifying the duration of the first media presentation in time to conform to the updated estimated time;

removing the first content from the first media presentation based on the route change; and

modifying the first media presentation based on the route change such that the second media presentation comprises a modified duration relative to the duration and based on the second route and a modified content comprising a second content that relates to a second location along the second route.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second media presentation comprises an advertisement.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a current location associated with a device, wherein the estimated time comprises a time for the device to travel to the destination.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the device is a same device used to play the second media presentation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the estimated time is determined based on one of an input, the first route, a speed, and a trajectory between a current location and the destination.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second media presentation is presented using one of video, Internet content, text, sound files, odor, and Braille.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein media content for the first media presentation is retrieved via a wireless network.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in the processor performing operations comprising:

generating a first media presentation having a duration associated with an estimated time to travel to a destination along a first mute, the first media presentation having a first content that is relevant to a first location along the first route to the destination when the content is played;

generating an updated estimated time to travel to the destination based on a route change from the first route to a second route; and

generating a second media presentation by:

modifying the duration of the first media presentation in time to conform to the updated estimated time;

removing the first content from the first media presentation based on the route change; and

modifying the first media presentation based on the route change such that the second media presentation comprises a modified duration relative to the duration and based on the second route and a modified content comprising a second content that relates to a second location along the second route.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second media presentation comprises an advertisement.

10. The system of claim 8 , the computer-readable storage medium having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in the processor performing operations comprising:

determining a current location associated with a device, wherein the estimated time comprises a time for the device to travel to the destination.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is a same device used to play the second media presentation.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the estimated time is determined based on one of an input, the first route, a speed, and a trajectory between a current location and the destination.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second media presentation is presented using one of video, Internet content, text, sound files, odor, and Braille.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein media content for the first media presentation is retrieved via a wireless network.

15. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, result in the computing device performing operations comprising:

generating a first media presentation having a duration associated with an estimated time to travel to a destination along a first route, the first media presentation having a content that is relevant to a location along the first route to the destination when the content is played;

generating an updated estimated time to travel to the destination based on a route change from the first route to a second route; and

generating a second media presentation by:

modifying the duration of the first media presentation in time to conform to the updated estimated time;

removing the first content from the first media presentation based on the route change; and

modifying the first media presentation based on the route change such that the second media presentation comprises a modified duration relative to the duration and based on the second route and a modified content comprising a second content that relates to a second location along the second route.

16. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the second media presentation comprises an advertisement.

17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the computer-readable storage device stores additional instructions which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations further comprising:

determining a current location associated with a device, wherein the estimated time comprises a time for the device to travel to the destination.

18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 17 , wherein the device is a same device used to play the second media presentation.

19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the estimated time is determined based on one of an input, the first route, a speed, and a trajectory between a current location and the destination.

20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein media content for the first media presentation is retrieved via a wireless network.
