Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-program products are described for determining current location information which includes determining whether an object is moving by comparing the current location information with previous location information. Future location information is calculated and a point of interest is filtered using the future location information. A media asset is then matched to the filtered point of interest and a current score is determined for the matched media asset. Determining a current score includes determining a window in which the matched media asset is geographically relevant to the future location information, and updating the matched media asset score when the future location information changes. An ordered playlist is dynamically generated according to the future location information by repeatedly prioritizing and sequencing matched media assets according to the current score for each matched media asset, and matched media assets are played or displayed in the ordered playlist.

Claims (45)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

determining future location information;

determining one or more shapes, wherein shapes have an associated type, wherein types associated with shapes include point types and area types, and wherein proximity calculations are determined by shape type;

filtering, on a computing device, the one or more shapes according to type, wherein filtering includes using the future location information;

matching one or more media assets to the one or more filtered shapes;

determining a current score for the one or more matched media assets, wherein a current score is determined according to the shape type associated with the filtered shape that matches the matched media asset, and wherein determining a current score includes using the future location information and the proximity calculation determined by the shape type to score the one or more matched media assets;

dynamically generating a playlist according to the future location information, wherein dynamically generating a playlist includes repeatedly prioritizing the one or more matched media assets according to the current score for the matched media asset; and

executing the playlist.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a current score includes updating the current score when the future location information changes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein types associated with points include line types.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamically generated playlist is an ordered playlist.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining current location information.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether an object is moving, wherein determining includes comparing current location information with previous location information.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining current location information, wherein determining current location information includes calculating a buffer that corresponds to the current location information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering includes using the future location information to determine an area of visibility, and prioritizing the one or more points according to type when the one or more points are within the area of visibility.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering includes calculating a buffer.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

applying one or more predetermined preferences to a matched media asset.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

periodically receiving updated location information; and

calculating updated future location information.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the playlist is displayable.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein matched media assets are concurrently executable.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein executed playlists are recorded.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums containing instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

determining future location information;

determining one or more shapes, wherein shapes have an associated type, wherein types associated with shapes include point types and area types, and wherein proximity calculations are determined by shape type;

filtering, on a computing device, the one or more shapes according to type, wherein filtering includes using the future location information;

matching one or more media assets to the one or more filtered shapes;

determining a current score for the one or more matched media assets, wherein a current score is determined according to the shape type associated with the filtered shape that matches the matched media asset, and wherein determining a current score includes using the future location information and the proximity calculation determined by the shape type to score the one or more matched media assets;

dynamically generating a playlist according to the future location information, wherein dynamically generating a playlist includes repeatedly prioritizing the one or more matched media assets according to the current score for the matched media asset; and

executing the playlist.

16. A computer-program product, tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a data processing apparatus to:

determine future location information;

determine one or more shapes, wherein shapes have an associated type, wherein types associated with shapes include point types and area types, and wherein proximity calculations are determined by shape type;

filter, on a computing device, the one or more shapes according to type, wherein filtering includes using the future location information;

match one or more media assets to the one or more filtered shapes;

determine a current score for the one or more matched media assets, wherein a current score is determined according to the shape type associated with the filtered shape that matches the matched media asset, and wherein determining a current score includes using the future location information and the proximity calculation determined by the shape type to score the one or more matched media assets;

dynamically generate a playlist according to the future location information, wherein dynamically generating a playlist includes repeatedly prioritizing the one or more matched media assets according to the current score for the matched media asset; and

execute the playlist.
