  • Patent number: 10187676
    Abstract: In response to a user reserving a vehicle via a first application on a user's mobile device, a first server authorizes a transportation service provider to access media items associated with the user's account for a media content provider. The authorizing includes receiving a first identifier generated by a second application on the mobile device, generating a second identifier if the first identifier is valid, and sending the second identifier to a second server associated with the transportation service provider. A request, initiated via the second application, is received to present a first media item at a media presentation system of the reserved vehicle. In response, a portion of the first media item is sent for presentation at the media presentation system if a device in communication with the media presentation system has received the second identifier.
