Abstract
One general aspect includes a method to receive and deliver media content during a designated time slot, the method including: receiving, via a processor, a first type of media content over a first wireless communication channel; detecting, via the processor, the designated time slot in the first type of media content; receiving, via the processor, a second type of media content over a second wireless communication channel when in proximity of a device configured to wirelessly provide media content; and delivering during the designated time slot, via the processor, the second type of media content to a user.
Claims20
A method to receive and deliver media content during a designated time slot, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a processor of a telematics unit of a vehicle, a continuous and substantially uninterrupted stream of a first type of media content over a first wireless communication channel, wherein the first type of media content is broadcast from a radio station;
- detecting, via the processor, the designated time slot in the first type of media content;
- receiving, via the processor, a second type of media content over a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication channel, wherein the second type of media content is received from an ad server installed on infrastructure located in proximity to a road segment, wherein the second type of media content is received by the processor when the vehicle is traveling along the road segment;
- and
- delivering during the designated time slot, via an audio system of the vehicle, the second type of media content to one or more vehicle passengers.
A system to receive and deliver media content during a designated time slot, the system comprising:
- a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions, wherein the memory and processor are located in a telematics unit of a vehicle, wherein the executable instructions enable the processor to:
- receive a continuous and substantially uninterrupted stream of a first type of media content over a first wireless communication channel, wherein the first type of media content is broadcast from a radio station;
- detect the designated time slot in the first type of media content;
- receive a second type of media content over a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication channel, wherein the second type of media content is received from an ad server installed on infrastructure located in proximity to a road segment, wherein the second type of media content is received by the telematics unit when the vehicle is traveling along the road segment;
- and
- deliver, via an audio system of the vehicle, during the designated time slot, the second type of media content to one or more vehicle passengers.
A non-transitory and machine-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions adapted to receive and deliver media content during a designated time slot, which when provided to a processor of a telematics unit of a vehicle and executed thereby, causes the processor to:
- receive a continuous and substantially uninterrupted stream of a first type of media content over a first wireless communication channel, wherein the first type of media content is broadcast from a radio station;
- detect the designated time slot in the first type of media content;
- receive a second type of media content over a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication channel, wherein the second type of media content is received from an ad server installed on infrastructure located in proximity to a road segment, wherein the second type of media content is received by the telematics unit when the vehicle is traveling along the road segment;
- and
- deliver, via an audio system of the vehicle, during the designated time slot, the second type of media content to one or more vehicle passengers.
