  • Geographically tailored content management systems and methods
    Patent number: 11438654
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2022
    Assignee: RHAPSODY INTERNATIONAL INC.
    Inventors: Brian Ringer, Heng Cao, Kenneth W. Murphy, Darryl William Wood, Gregory Welliver, Matthew James Eccles
