Problems solved by technology

[0003] The disadvantage of a server-centric system is that if the server becomes inaccessible, the content stored on the server also becomes inaccessible to the passenger or user of the client device
In a vehicle with hundreds of seats, it is time consuming to load new content onto each new client device

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Exemplary embodiments are described in the following paragraphs. The embodiments are implemented via a combination of hardware and software comprising computing or information processing equipment having one or more processors configured to execute Program logic or software stored on a readable tangible non-transitory medium such as a magnetic storage disk, RAM, ROM, flash memory, or solid-state drive (SSD). The program logic preferably configures the information processing equipment to provide the functionality described herein.

[0030] figure 1 A vehicle entertainment system 100 disposed in a vehicle 102 is schematically shown. The type of vehicle 102 is not limited, but may be any type of vehicle used to carry passengers, such as an aircraft, bus, train, boat, submarine, or spacecraft. In this example, the vehicle 102 includes two seat rows 104 and 106 arranged symmetrically to each other across the aisle, as is typical in vehicles for passenger transport. Each ...

Abstract

Provided is a vehicle entertainment system. The vehicle entertainment system includes smart monitors and a server storing media files. Each smart monitor presents media selections corresponding to the media files and receives an input from passengers for playing a selection. Each smart monitor includes local content storage storing a subset of the media files. A network connects the smart monitors and server. Program logic executed by each smart monitor performs tasks including determining if a media file corresponding to an input is available from a first source, and if available, playing the media file from the first source; if the media file is not available there, determining if the media file required is available from a second source and if available, playing the media file from the second source; and if the media file is not available from the second source, determining if the media file is available from a third source.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to entertainment systems for vehicles, and in particular to in-flight entertainment systems. Background technique [0002] Entertainment systems for vehicles used in commercial passenger transportation are often server-based. Specifically, the server stores content, such as media files, and provides the content via the network according to demand from client devices operated by users or passengers on board the vehicle. Most often, this content takes the form of video and audio files that are streamed over the network to the client device. Therefore, the server is central to the operation of the entertainment system. Therefore, server-based systems in the field of in-flight entertainment (IFE) are sometimes referred to as being server-centric. [0003] A disadvantage of a server-centric system is that if the server becomes inaccessible, the content stored on the server also becomes inaccessible to the passenger...
