Digital content networking

摘要

Mobile network services for a vehicle are provided via a computer processing device, and a digital communications module executable by the computer processing device. The digital communications module identifies a content channel selection for content presented on a device in the vehicle, continuously receives information indicating a location of the vehicle, and monitors signal strength of the content as the vehicle moves among location. Upon determining a threshold signal strength is reached, the digital communications module determines an action to be taken, and performs the action.

主权项

1. A system for providing mobile networking services for a vehicle, comprising:
a computer processing device; and a digital communications module executable by the computer processing device to: receive user-configurable preferences from an occupant of the vehicle, wherein the user-configurable preferences specify actions response to changes in a signal strength particular to a content program presented on a device in the vehicle; identify a content channel selected for the content program presented on the device; continuously receive information that indicates a location of the vehicle; monitor the signal strength of the content program as the vehicle moves among locations; determine a trend of the signal strength of the content program in accordance with the monitoring of the signal strength of the content program as the vehicle moves among the locations; in response to the determination of the trend of the signal strength of the content program being a weakening of the signal strength, determine which of the actions to perform based on the user-configurable preferences as a first action, wherein the first action is configured to maintain presentation of the content program on the device or on any alternative device in the vehicle; perform the first action; access a database of locations of content sources, wherein the database includes a coverage range for each of the content sources; determine a selection of at least one of the content sources having a coverage range that corresponds to the location of the vehicle and having the content program; and in response to the determination of the trend being the weakening of the signal strength, provide continued presentation of the content program by discontinuing transmission of the content program from a current content source and accessing the content program from the selection of the at least one of the content sources.
