Abstract
A computer-implemented method for producing real-time media content customized for a travel event in a dynamic travel route between an origin and a destination of a connected vehicle. The method includes maintaining media production data, receiving information on a travel event including route information, producing media content based on the travel event and travel route information, and streaming the media content to connected cars and servers along the travel route.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for producing media content customized for a travel event, the method comprising:
- inputting, into a processor of a communication network, travel event information for a trip of a connected vehicle, the travel event information comprising a defined trip route between an origin and a destination of the connected vehicle;
- generating, with the processor of the communication network, a plurality of user-perceivable characteristics relating to the defined trip route;
- mapping, with the processor of the communication network, one or more of the plurality of user-perceivable characteristics to a media component with an indicator of semantic meaning relevant to the travel event information;
- producing, with the processor of the communication network, media content comprising the media component based on one or more capabilities of a player device;
- and
- delivering, with the processor of the communication network, the media content to a user via the player device during the trip of the connected vehicle.
An apparatus for configuring media content customized for a travel event, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor coupled to a memory device, the memory device holding instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
- inputting, into the at least one processor and from a data source, travel event information for a trip of a connected vehicle, the travel event information comprising a defined trip route between an origin and a destination of the connected vehicle;
- generating, with the at least one processor, a plurality of user-perceivable characteristics relating to the defined trip route;
- mapping, with the at least one processor, one or more of the plurality of user-perceivable characteristics to a media component with an indicator of semantic meaning relevant to the travel event information;
- producing, with the at least one processor, media content comprising the media component based on one or more capabilities of a player device;
- and
- delivering, with the at least one processor, the media content to a user via the player device during the trip of the connected vehicle.
A system for providing media content customized for a travel event, the system comprising:
- a vehicle suitable for traveling along a defined trip route of a trip;
- and
- a communication network connected to the vehicle, the communication network comprising at least one processor coupled to a memory device, the memory device holding instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform:
- inputting, into the at least one processor and from an external data source, travel event information for a trip of the vehicle, the travel event information comprising a defined trip route between an origin and a destination of the vehicle;
- generating, with the at least one processor, a plurality of user-perceivable characteristics relating to the defined trip route;
- mapping, with the at least one processor, one or more of the plurality of user-perceivable characteristics to a media component with an indicator of semantic meaning relevant to the travel event information;
- producing, with the at least one processor, media content comprising the media component based on one or more capabilities of a player device;
- and
- delivering the media content to a passenger of the vehicle via the player device during the trip of the vehicle.
