Methods and systems for geospatial identification of media streams
Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device, wherein the user device is associated with a user profile that includes an identification of a second geographical location, wherein the second geographical location is distinct from the first geographical location;
identifying a set of broadcast sources that are a predetermined distance from the first geographical location;
filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location and user preferences of the user profile, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources generates a subset of the set of broadcast sources;
generating a graphical user interface including a representation of the first geographical location, wherein the graphical user interface includes a set of icons representing locations of the subset within the first geographical location;
determining a first media stream associated with an icon of the set of icons, wherein the first media stream is configured to be presented by the user device; and
facilitating a presentation of the first media stream over an Internet connection of the user device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media stream is a radio broadcast.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources includes:
determining a language associated with broadcast sources located within a predetermined area of the second geographical location, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on the language.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on historical media streams requested by the user device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location includes:
identifying one or more broadcast sources of the set of broadcast sources that are associated with a characteristic of the second geographical location; and
filtering the set of broadcast sources such that the one or more broadcast sources are included in the subset of the set of broadcast sources.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media stream is received over an Internet Protocol connection.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media stream is presented by an in-vehicle entertainment system.
8. A system, comprising:
one or more data processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including:
receiving a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device, wherein the user device is associated with a user profile that includes an identification of a second geographical location, wherein the second geographical location is distinct from the first geographical location;
identifying a set of broadcast sources that are a predetermined distance from the first geographical location;
filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location and user preferences of the user profile, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources generates a subset of the set of broadcast sources;
generating a graphical user interface including a representation of the first geographical location, wherein the graphical user interface includes a set of icons representing locations of the subset within the first geographical location;
determining a first media stream associated with an icon of the set of icons, wherein the first media stream is configured to be presented by the user device; and
facilitating a presentation of the first media stream over an Internet connection of the user device.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first media stream is a radio broadcast.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources includes:
determining a language associated with broadcast sources located within a predetermined area of the second geographical location, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on the language.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on historical media streams requested by the user device.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location includes:
identifying one or more broadcast sources of the set of broadcast sources that are associated with a characteristic of the second geographical location; and
filtering the set of broadcast sources such that the one or more broadcast sources are included in the subset of the set of broadcast sources.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first media stream is received over an Internet Protocol connection.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first media stream is presented by an in-vehicle entertainment system.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including:
receiving a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device, wherein the user device is associated with a user profile that includes an identification of a second geographical location, wherein the second geographical location is distinct from the first geographical location;
identifying a set of broadcast sources that are a predetermined distance from the first geographical location;
filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location and user preferences of the user profile, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources generates a subset of the set of broadcast sources;
generating a graphical user interface including a representation of the first geographical location, wherein the graphical user interface includes a set of icons representing locations of the subset within the first geographical location;
determining a first media stream associated with an icon of the set of icons, wherein the first media stream is configured to be presented by the user device; and
facilitating a presentation of the first media stream over an Internet connection of the user device.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first media stream is a radio broadcast.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources includes:
determining a language associated with broadcast sources located within a predetermined area of the second geographical location, wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on the language.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources is further based on historical media streams requested by the user device.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein filtering the set of broadcast sources based on the second geographical location includes:
identifying one or more broadcast sources of the set of broadcast sources that are associated with a characteristic of the second geographical location; and
filtering the set of broadcast sources such that the one or more broadcast sources are included in the subset of the set of broadcast sources.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first media stream is received over an Internet Protocol connection.
