Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for temporally adaptive media playback. The method for adaptive media playback includes estimating or determining an amount of time between a first event and a second event, selecting media content to fill the estimated amount of time between the first event and the second event, and playing the selected media content possibly at a reasonably different speed to fit the time interval. One embodiment includes events that are destination-based or temporal-based. Another embodiment includes adding, removing, speeding up, or slowing down selected media content in order to fit the estimated amount of time between the first event and the second event or to modify the selected media content to adjust to an updated estimated amount of time. Another embodiment bases selected media content on a user or group profile.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method comprising: estimating, via a processor, an amount of time between a first event, and a second event, to yield an initial end time; selecting specific pieces of media content to fill the amount of time between the first event and the second event based on the amount of time between the first event and the second event; playing the specific pieces of the media content for the user, where two pieces of the specific pieces of the media content are played sim…
