Abstract
An interactive notification communication between front and rear entertainment systems in a vehicle is provided. A first system receives a request that indicates a second system is attempting to access content. The access attempt may be a purchase, a download, a view, or other actions performed on the content. The request is selectively granted or denied based on various criteria including, the type of content. If the access request is denied, a notice is sent to the second system and the action is canceled. If the access request is granted, a notice is sent to the second system and the action being performed is allowed to proceed.

- an obtainment component that receives an indication that the other entertainment system is attempting to access a third set of content;
- and
- an authorization component that controls access to the third set of content by the other entertainment system.
A method for providing interactive notification communication between at least two vehicle entertainment systems, comprising:
- receiving, using a first vehicle entertainment system processor, by a first vehicle entertainment system comprising the first vehicle entertainment system processor, a request for access to content by a second vehicle entertainment system comprising a second vehicle entertainment system processor, wherein the request is received from the second vehicle entertainment system;
- determining, using the first vehicle entertainment system processor, by the first vehicle entertainment system, to grant or deny access to the content by the second vehicle entertainment system;
- and
- transmitting, using the first vehicle entertainment system processor, by the first vehicle entertainment system, an authorization to access the content based on a determination to grant access to the content, or a denial to access the content based on another determination to deny access to the content, wherein the first vehicle entertainment system and the second vehicle entertainment system are in the same vehicle and operate independently.
