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 a range associated with the future location information;

determining one or more points of interest, wherein the one or more points of interest are determined according to the range associated with the future location information;

matching one or more media assets to the one or more points of interest;

repeatedly determining whether the future location information has changed, and wherein when the future location information has changed, the range associated with the future location information is updated, and one or more updated points of interest are determined and matched with media assets according to the updated range;

dynamically generating geo-relevant programming, wherein dynamically generating geo-relevant programming includes repeatedly determining matched media assets according to a current range associated with the future location information; and

executing the geo-relevant programming according to the current range associated with the future location information.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dynamically displaying one or more matched media assets, wherein matched media assets are displayed or played according to the current range associated with the future location information.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more matched media assets are interactive.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming an audio presentation.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming an video presentation.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming a photo presentation.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming a multi-media presentation.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein one or more media player applications and one or more media assets are stored on a removable component.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein media assets are stored locally.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein media assets are stored remotely.

11. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more processors;

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

determining future location information;

determining a range associated with the future location information;

determining one or more points of interest, wherein the one or more points of interest are determined according to the range associated with the future location information,

matching one or more media assets to the one or more points of interest;

repeatedly determining whether the future location information has changed, and wherein when the future location information has changed, the range associated with the future location information is updated, and one or more updated points of interest are determined and matched with media assets according to the updated range;

dynamically generating geo-relevant programming, wherein dynamically generating geo-relevant programming includes repeatedly determining matched media assets according to a current range associated with the future location information; and

executing the geo-relevant programming according to the current range associated with the future location information.

12. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , further comprising:

dynamically displaying one or more matched media assets, wherein matched media assets are displayed or played according to the current range associated with the future location information.

13. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more matched media assets are interactive.

14. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming an audio presentation.

15. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming an video presentation.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming a photo presentation.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein geo-relevant programming includes matched media assets forming a multi-media presentation.

18. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein one or more media player applications and one or more media assets are stored on a removable component.

19. The computer-implemented system of claim 11 , wherein media assets are stored locally.

20. 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 a range associated with the future location information;

determine one or more points of interest, wherein the one or more points of interest are determined according to the range associated with the future location information;

match one or more media assets to the one or more points of interest;

repeatedly determine whether the future location information has changed, and wherein when the future location information has changed, the range associated with the future location information is updated, and one or more updated points of interest are determined and matched with media assets according to the updated range;

dynamically generate geo-relevant programming, wherein dynamically generating geo-relevant programming includes repeatedly determining matched media assets according to a current range associated with the future location information; and

execute the geo-relevant programming according to the current range associated with the future location information.
