Abstract
A system comprises a server operable to deliver an Internet Protocol Television stream to a set-top box, and operable to retrieve an image from a first traffic camera. Upon receipt of a request from the set-top box, the image is sent to a wireless device.
Claims20
A server comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the memory comprises computer instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
- deliver an Internet Protocol Television stream to a set-top box in an Internet Protocol Televisions system;
- retrieve a first image from a first traffic camera associated with a route profile stored in the Internet Protocol Television system and linked to a wireless device;
- retrieve one or more additional images corresponding to traffic images specified by the route profile;
- compile the first image and the one or more additional images into a mosaic of traffic images;
- and
- send the mosaic of traffic images to the set top box.

5 more elements
A set-top box for communicating with a server and with a wireless device, the set-top box comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory having computer instructions stored therein causing the processor to:
- receive an Internet Protocol television stream in an Internet Protocol Television system;
- retrieve a first image from a first traffic camera associated with a route profile stored in the Internet Protocol Television system;
- retrieve one or more additional images from corresponding additional traffic cameras;
- compile at the set top box the first image and the one or more additional images into a mosaic of traffic images;
- and
- send the mosaic of traffic images to the wireless device in response to a first request entered in a graphical user interface of the set top box.
