  • Publication number: 20230283856
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for allowing a user to obtain a listing of points of interest and associated media content listings based on the user's current geographic location. The user's current geographic location may be determined using, for example, a GPS transceiver incorporated in the user's user access device. Information may then be communicated from a remote server to the user access device that identifies points of interest associated with the geographic location as well as media content listings associated with the points of interest.

  • Patent number: 9445036
    Abstract: Methods and systems for scheduling media content presentation across multiple devices are disclosed. A media planner application generates media event presentation schedules for one or more users based on user-scheduled media events and automatic media event recommendations. Media events can be scheduled for presentation on multiple user devices, including portable devices. Media event recommendations can be generated based at least in part on user preferences and habits, such as user media preferences, device availability, device usage, device connectivity, and user mood.

  • Publication number: 20110283322
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for allowing a user to obtain media content listings associated with a particular geographical location. The media content listings may be selected automatically according to, for example, media consumption data that tracks media content accessed by other users. The media content listings may be those that are associated with the most popular media content accessed in the geographic location by users who are not from that geographic location (e.g., they may be visiting from the same geographic location in which the current user is currently located or resides).
