Abstract

A system for providing media content to an occupant of a vehicle may include a user interface configured to provide the media content to the occupant and a controller coupled to the user interface and to a database configured to store media content. The controller may be configured to receive vehicle navigation data, select a subset of media content from the media content stored in the database based on the vehicle navigation data, and provide the subset of media content through the user interface.

Claims (30)

1. A system for providing media content to an occupant of a vehicle, the system comprising:

a user interface configured to provide the media content to the occupant; and

a controller coupled to the user interface and to a database storing media content, the controller being configured to:

receive vehicle navigation data;

select a subset of media content from the media content stored in the database based on the vehicle navigation data, the subset of media content including a video game;

identify a player in the vehicle;

select the video game based on the identity of the player and the vehicle navigation data, including selecting a video game difficulty level based on the identity of the player and selecting a video game scoring type based on the navigation data; and

provide the subset of media content through the user interface.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine a trip duration using vehicle navigation data, and select the subset of media content based on the trip duration.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine a place of interest the vehicle is approaching, and select the subset of media content based on the place of interest.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the subset of media content includes learning materials, and the controller is further configured to:

determine a learning level of the occupant based on the identity of the occupant; and

select the subset of media content based additionally on the learning level.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the time remaining before the vehicle reaches a destination location based on the vehicle navigation data, and provide a different subset of media content to the occupant when the determined time is less than a predetermined period of time.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to update the learning level of the occupant based on the set of media content consumed by the occupant, and store the learning level in the database.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is part of a mobile device carried by the occupant in the vehicle.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the database or the controller is in a cloud in communication with the vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to sort the subset of media data in an order of increasing or decreasing duration.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to sort the subset of media data such that media data of associated contents are provided adjacent to each other.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

identify a second player in a second vehicle; and

receive vehicle navigation data associated with the second vehicle; and

select the video game based additionally on the vehicle navigation data associated with the second vehicle.

12. A method for providing media content to an occupant of a vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving vehicle navigation data;

selecting a subset of media content from media content stored in a database based on the vehicle navigation data, the subset of media content including a video game;

identifying a player in the vehicle;

selecting the video game based on the identity of the player and the vehicle navigation data, including selecting a video game difficulty level based on the identity of the player and selecting a video game scoring type based on the navigation data; and

providing the subset of media content through the user interface.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the subset of media content includes learning materials and the method further includes determining a learning level of the occupant based on the identity of the occupant, and selecting the subset of media content based additionally on the learning level.
