Abstract: Media-presentation-conscious scheduling protocols are disclosed that may associate a geographical location containing a thing with an identifier of the thing and allow later-found media works that pertain to the identifier to be presented at a mobile device before the device reaches a waypoint of the location. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may respond to a predicted connectivity impairment of a traveling device by obtaining supplemental content to mitigate a predicted capacity shortage. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may interrupt live stream content, insert on-demand content, and later return to live stream presentation automatically.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing content monitoring information to a first user device. The systems and methods may comprise receiving from the first user device an indication of a geographic area, receiving data indicating content items provided to a plurality of user devices located within the geographic area, and generating a first user interface. The first user interface may comprise a map including the geographic area, and a plurality of markers on the map. Each of the plurality of markers on the map may be at a position on the map corresponding to a geographic location within the geographic area. Further, each marker may correspond to a provision of at least one of the content items provided to at least one of the plurality of user devices positioned at the geographic location corresponding to the marker.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting content for a user. A computer system may received from a user device associated with the user a request for a content search and a first search factor describing motion of the user. The computer system may also receive a second search factor describing an environment of the user. The computer system may select at least one content item to be provided to the user based on at least the first search factor and the second search factor; and transmit an indication of the at least one content item towards the user device.

Abstract: An interactive vending machine is provided that facilitates the purchase of digital media. The machine includes audio speakers and a video screen that presents displays controlled by a consumer and that enables audio-visual promotional material and informational material to be produced on the vending machine in conjunction with purchasing digital media from the vending machine or from a source remote from the machine.
