摘要

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for adaptive media playback based on destination. The method for adaptive media playback comprises determining one or more destinations, collecting media content that is relevant to or describes the one or more destinations, assembling the media content into a program, and outputting the program. In various embodiments, media content may be advertising, consumer-generated, based on real-time events, based on a schedule, or assembled to fit within an estimated available time. Media content may be assembled using an adaptation engine that selects a plurality of media segments that fit in the estimated available time, orders the plurality of media segments, alters at least one of the plurality of media segments to fit the estimated available time, if necessary, and creates a playlist of selected media content containing the plurality of media segments.

1. A method comprising:
generating, from media content, a media presentation having a duration in accordance with an estimated time to travel to a destination, wherein the media presentation is altered so that a portion of the media presentation is contextually relevant to an anticipated location along a route to the destination when the portion of the media presentation is played to yield an altered media presentation; detecting, while playing the altered media presentation, a travel path change; generating an updated estimated time to travel to the destination based on the travel path change; modifying the altered media presentation to conform to the updated estimated time; and inserting an advertisement into the altered media presentation based on a direction of travel.
