Publication number: 20250126541Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing distributed content to a mobile device (e.g., in a mobile vehicle) through multiple content access points along a particular route are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive a selection of media content and a selection of a particular route from a plurality of routes to enable navigation of a mobile vehicle from a start point to an end point calculated based on at least a number of content access points along each route. A computing device may divide the media content into a plurality of segments and send each segment to a respective planned content access point of a plurality of planned content access points along the particular route. In some embodiments, a mobile computing device within a mobile vehicle may receive a segment from each planned content access point to enable continuous uninterrupted playback of the media content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: David O'Hare, Kenneth Grantham, Irma Torero, Robert John, Lisa Wright, Jeffrey Stoller, Michael Toole, Kristine Beach, Brent Vannier, Terry Mahnke, Sandra Driscoll

Publication number: 20240147413Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing service to access nodes are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may generate a geographical coverage map comprising a plurality of wireless access nodes respectively at a plurality of geographic locations and a wireless coverage range for each wireless access node. The computing device may receive from at least one wireless access node of the plurality of wireless access nodes an indication that the at least one wireless access node detected a first wireless access node of the plurality of wireless access nodes. The computing device may refine a first coverage range of the first wireless access node based on a respective geographic location of the at least one wireless access node. In some embodiments, a first wireless access node may receive and forward join emergency mesh (JEM) messages to establish a wireless network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Derrick Krening, Edward David Monnerat, Jonathan Alan Leech, Nicholas Adam Pinckernell, Andy Martushev, Jasbir Rajpal, Scott Moody, Garey Hoffman, David B.
