System and Method for Temporally Adaptive Media Playback

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• an output device;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in the processing performing operations comprising:
• playing, via the output device, a first portion of a media content and a second portion of the media content, the playing of the first portion and the second portion being associated with a route to a destination;
• and
• determining a change in a timing of an event related to the route to the destination to yield a changed time;
• based on the changed time, altering the first portion of the media content, to yield an altered first portion of the media content, wherein the altered first portion of the media content has an altered run-time based on the changed time;
• replacing the first portion of the media content being played with the altered first portion of the media content;
• and
• generating a notification of the changed time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, result in the computing device performing operations comprising:

• playing a first portion of a media content and a second portion of the media content, the playing of the first portion and the second portion being associated with a route to a destination;
• and
• determining a change in a timing of an event related to the route to the destination to yield a changed time;
• based on the changed time, altering the first portion of the media content, to yield an altered first portion of the media content, wherein the altered first portion of the media content has an altered run-time based on the changed time;
• replacing the first portion of the media content being played with the altered first portion of the media content;
• and
• generating a notification of the changed time.
