Passenger-oriented path estimation and display

A method for providing path information implemented in an entertainment system of a commercial passenger vehicle, the method comprising:

• initiating and regulating, by a constrained area supervisor of the entertainment system, a display on one or more entertainment displays;
• making a determination, by the constrained area supervisor, that a graphical display of an estimated first path of the commercial passenger vehicle traveling via a route between an origin and a destination intersects a constrained area,
• wherein the determination is made by the constrained area supervisor based on cooperating with a passenger personalization platform of the entertainment system, and
• wherein the estimated first path is estimated as a straight-line path between consecutive waypoints along the route;
• based on the determination that the estimated first path intersects the constrained area, determining, by the constrained area supervisor, a second path for display that does not intersect the constrained area;
• and
• causing, by the constrained area supervisor, a display of the second path on an entertainment display associated with a particular passenger.

An information display system embedded in a commercial passenger vehicle, the system comprising:

• a display manager configured to:
• obtain a path for display that (i) represents a route between an origin and a destination travelled by the commercial passenger vehicle and (ii) is configured to not intersect a constrained area, and
• provide path information for the path to one or more display devices associated with a passenger of the commercial passenger vehicle for graphical display based on a relationship between the passenger and the constrained area;
• a passenger personalization platform cooperating with the display manager to provide the relationship between the passenger and the constrained area;
• a path display interface via which a first layer of map image data and a second layer of the path information are provided to the one or more display devices associated with the passenger for graphical display.
