Abstract
Systems and methods are described ensuring that a user will be able to consume selected media content in its entirety. In particular, a media guidance application described herein determines an amount of time (102) required to reach a destination (116) and compares this time to an amount of time required to consume media content (104). If the amount of time (104) exceeds the amount of time (102) required to reach the destination, it calculates a route (120) for a current trip in which the length of time required to traverse a calculated route corresponds to the play length of the selected media asset.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, using processing circuitry, a user interface on a display of a vehicle that is travelling along a recommended navigation path from a current location to a destination location, wherein the display is communicatively coupled to the processing circuitry;
- receiving, via the user interface, a selection of a content identifier displayed on the user interface, wherein the content identifier corresponds to a media content item;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, that a first amount of time needed for full consumption of the media content item is longer than a second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination;
- based on:
- (a) the selection of the content identifier corresponding to the media content item received via the user interface, and (b) the determining that the first amount of time needed for full consumption of the media content item is longer than the second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination:
- identifying, using the processing circuitry, a different media content item of the same genre as the media content item, wherein a third amount of time needed for full consumption of the different media content item is shorter than the second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination;
- and
- modifying, using the processing circuitry, the user interface displayed on the display of the vehicle to comprise an additional content identifier corresponding to the different media content item, wherein selection of the additional content identifier causes playing of the different media content item instead of the media content item.

A system comprising:
- interface circuitry for receiving inputs communicatively coupled to a display in a vehicle, the interface circuitry being configured to:
- generate, on the display, a user interface for interaction;
- receive, via the user interface, a selection of a content identifier displayed on the user interface, wherein the content identifier corresponds to a media content item;
- and
- processing circuitry, communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry, configured to:
- provide the user interface on the display while the vehicle is travelling along a recommended navigation path from a current location to a destination location, wherein the display is communicatively coupled to the processing circuitry;
- determine that a first amount of time needed for full consumption of the media content item is longer than a second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination;
- based on:
- (a) the selection of the content identifier corresponding to the media content item received via the user interface, and (b) the determining that the first amount of time needed for full consumption of the media content item is longer than the second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination:
- identify a different media content item of the same genre as the media content item, wherein a third amount of time needed for full consumption of the different media content item is shorter than the second amount of time needed for the vehicle to arrive at the destination;
- and
- modify the user interface displayed on the display of the vehicle to comprise an additional content identifier corresponding to the different media content item, wherein selection of the additional content identifier causes playing of the different media content item instead of the media content item.
