Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for providing vehicle-associated concurrent content presentation over a network for in-vehicle use. The system determines a network of friends are traveling to a destination and provides an opportunity to enjoy listening to the same curated playlist of media content. The content presentation includes generating a playlist based on the user profiles or selection of the users or occupants of a vehicle and presenting the playlist to a number of vehicles occupied by network of friends.

Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for completing a transaction via an internet-connected vehicle by leveraging a multi-factor authentication to compare vehicle identification information and user identification information based on stored information. In addition, methods and systems are provided for completing a transaction via an internet-connected vehicle by automatic enforcement of business rules (e.g., parental control spending tools, or employee spending tracking tools).

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a playlist of audio content for a vehicle are disclosed. An audio input is received at a vehicle entertainment system of the vehicle while an audio content item is currently played by the vehicle entertainment system. The audio input includes an audio command trigger and an audio playlist command. In response to detecting the audio command trigger in the audio input, the audio input is parsed to determine the audio playlist command. A metadata associated with the audio content item is determined. In response to determining the audio playlist command, the audio content item is caused to be added to an audio content playlist of a third-party service based on the metadata of the audio content item.

Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for searching a first user's calendar schedule for a meeting with a second user, providing an offer from a merchant based on a user's calendar schedule and automatically applying the offer from the merchant based on arrival of the first user and second user at the merchant's location. The verification of the presence of the first user and the second user may be based on identifying the location of each user, and offers from merchant locations may be provided based on the respective locations of the users.

Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for ordering a repeat order from a merchant via an internet-connected vehicle by identifying a pattern by a user at a merchant, and based on the user's location automatically placing a repeat order without the user having to manually place the order. In other examples, the system determines that the vehicle is traveling towards a location of the merchant and, in response, transmits to the merchant instructions to prepare an order matching the repeat transaction.

Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for providing an offer to a vehicle based on the vehicles geographical location and upon the vehicle arriving at the merchant, applying the offer to a transaction. The offer is applied based on data identifying the vehicle transmitted from a first network and the second network. The offer can be based on a geographical location of the vehicle in proximity to a merchant.

Abstract: Methods and systems are employed for selectively controlling the presentation of broadcast content item in which a unique set of broadcast content items are presented based on the selection of a content type and a selection of a geography for each content type to control the manner in which broadcast content types are recorded and/or presented for the vehicle. In some embodiments, methods and systems are employed for providing relevant information to a vehicle based on receiving multiple broadcast streams, and separating the broadcast content items into segments based on a variety of content types along a predicted path of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing network use for downloading media assets using activity signals for a household or organization. A receiver may monitor an organization for signals indicating activities that are associated with a reduction in use of the network. When such signals are received, a media guidance application may automatically download a media asset during a period of reduced network use.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling playback of a media asset based on whether events are delayed. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application responding to a suspend playback command by determining whether a user is imminently scheduled to attend an event. If the user is imminently scheduled to attend an event, the media guidance application may query an event database to determine a most current start time of the event and compare the most current start time to a start time from the user's profile associated with the event to determine if the event has been delayed. In response to determining the event is delayed, the media guidance application may continue playback of the media asset notwithstanding the suspend command.
