Systems and methods for providing zone-based availability for playing media in a vehicle

A system for providing zone-based availability for playing media, comprising:

• a vehicle comprising a cabin;
• an ultra-wideband receiver;
• a plurality of non-ultra-wideband receivers;
• a plurality of media playing devices;
• and
• a computing device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
• establish one or more zones within the cabin of the vehicle,
• wherein each of the one or more zones:
• has a position and size correlating to coordinates within the cabin of the vehicle, and
• has one or more media playing devices and one or more non-ultra-wideband receivers located therewithin and associated with a specific zone;
• establish an ultra-wideband connection between one or more electronic devices and the ultra-wideband receiver;
• determine, using the ultra-wideband receiver, a location of each of the one or more electronic devices;
• assign a zone for each of the one or more electronic devices based on the location of each of the one or more electronic devices;
• and
• establish a connection between each electronic device, of the one or more electronic devices, and the one or more non-ultra-wideband receivers located within its assigned zone, enabling the electronic device, via the one or more non-ultra-wideband receivers, to play media through the one or more media playing devices within its assigned zone.
