  • Patent number: 11688293
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing educational media content. According to an embodiment, a system for providing, by a processor, educational media content items based on a determined context of a vehicle or driver of the vehicle is described. The system can comprise a context component that can determine a context of a vehicle or a driver of the vehicle, with the context component employing at least one of artificial intelligence or machine learning to facilitate inferring intent of the driver. The system can comprise a vehicle education component that can perform a utility-based analysis in connection with selecting a media content item relating to a feature of the vehicle based on the determined context, the inferred driver intent and the utility-based analysis. Further, the system can comprise a media component that can output the selected media content item.

  • Patent number: 10704915
    Abstract: A method performed by an infotainment providing system for providing driving situation based infotainment in a vehicle. The infotainment providing system determines a current position of the vehicle, determines from a digital map associated with the vehicle one or more road attributes of a current or subsequent road segment assumed or known to be ahead of the vehicle. The infotainment providing system selects, in consideration of the one or more road attributes, at least a first piece of media content from a media content source, and provides the at least first piece of media content in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10527451
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a content selection system for enabling a user device on the move to utilize content associated with an entity located ahead of the user device. The content selection system determines a current position and travel direction of the user device, determines a current travel remainder for moving along a travel route from the current position to the entity located ahead of the user device, based on stored geographical location associated with the entity. The content selection system compares the travel remainder to a maximum threshold value associated with the entity. The content selection system enables content associated with the entity to be utilized by the user device, when the travel remainder is equal to or lower than the maximum threshold value. The disclosure also relates to a user device comprising at least a portion of the content selection system.

  • Patent number: 10509839
    Abstract: A method performed by an infotainment providing system for providing personalized position-based infotainment in a vehicle is disclosed. The infotainment providing system determines at least a first infotainment category of interest. The infotainment providing system further determines a current position of the vehicle. The infotainment providing system searches at least a first online information source, based on the at least first infotainment category of interest and taking into consideration the determined vehicle position. Then, the infotainment providing system retrieves at least a first piece of media content which falls under the at least first infotainment category of interest and which is associated with the determined vehicle position. The infotainment providing system provides the at least first piece of media content while the vehicle is in the vicinity of the determined vehicle position.

  • Patent number: 10264402
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a content selection system and a user device including at least a portion of the content selection system for selectively enabling a user device on the move to utilize digital content associated with one or more entities located ahead of the user device. The system determines a current position and travel direction of the user device and derives foresight conditions input including time availability indicating parameter(s). The system defines a geographical limiting zone extending in front of the user device, based on the position, travel direction, and a first time availability indicating parameter of the foresight conditions input. The system compares the limiting zone to a first stored geographical location of at least a first entity, and enables content associated with the first entity to be utilized by the user device, when the first location is within the limiting zone.
