Location-Relevant Media Sequencing for Cohesive Playlist Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing location-based audio and video media systems lack the ability to intelligently sequence and prioritize assets, creating a cohesive entertainment experience, and fail to integrate advertisements effectively within entertainment programming.
Innovation Solution
A method that responds to location signals to select and sequence location-relevant audio or visual assets, using a set of rules to create a well-organized and continuous media program, integrating advertisements with entertainment, and adjusting playback based on user motion and speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If location-based audio and video media are played when user is near certain points, then location-relevant entertainment is provided, but the media assets are not intelligently sequenced creating a disjointed experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-sequences media assets into an intelligently-ordered playlist before playback, anticipating the user's location-based experience needs. This preliminary organization of media content resolves the contradiction by preparing the entertainment experience in advance, ensuring coherent sequencing without adding runtime complexity.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple media assets are triggered based on location, then comprehensive entertainment coverage is achieved, but the assets play in disjointed order reducing entertainment value
Solution Approach 1:
The media playback system dynamically adjusts the sequencing and timing of assets based on real-time location data and user motion. This dynamic approach allows comprehensive media coverage while maintaining coherent entertainment flow, as the system adapts the playback order and pacing to match the user's actual experience of the location-based content.
3Adaptability or versatility
If advertisements are integrated with entertainment programming, then advertisement effectiveness increases, but the media program structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges advertisements with entertainment programming into a unified media playlist, where ads are seamlessly integrated alongside entertainment content based on location relevance. This combining approach increases advertisement effectiveness by associating them with relevant entertainment experiences while the unified playlist structure manages complexity through consistent sequencing rules.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-program products are described for determining current location information which includes determining whether an object is moving by comparing the current location information with previous location information. Future location information is calculated and a point of interest is filtered using the future location information. A media asset is then matched to the filtered point of interest and a current score is determined for the matched media asset. Determining a current score includes determining a window in which the matched media asset is geographically relevant to the future location information, and updating the matched media asset score when the future location information changes. An ordered playlist is dynamically generated according to the future location information by repeatedly prioritizing and sequencing matched media assets according to the current score for each matched media asset, and matched media assets are played or displayed in the ordered playlist.
