Radio-station-recommendation system and method
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computer system, multiple models corresponding to multiple drivers such that each model of the multiple models documents content heard by a different driver of the multiple drivers;
aggregating, by the computer system, the multiple models to form a recommendation model that identifies which radio stations play which audio content in which geographic regions;
receiving, by the computer system from a first driver of the multiple drivers, a request for recommendations;
leveraging, by the computer system in response to the receiving, the recommendation model to identify at least one radio station that presents content best matching content documented within a first model of the multiple models that corresponds to the first driver; and
responding, by the computer system, to the request with the at least one radio station.

Abstract
A method of recommending radio stations including the step of generating a plurality of driver models. Each driver model may correspond to a different driver and documents audio content listened to by that driver while driving. The plurality of driver models may be aggregated to generate a recommendation model correlating radio stations, audio content, and geographic regions. Thereafter, a request for recommendations may be received from a driver while the driver is in a familiar or unfamiliar geographic region. A driver model corresponding to the driver may be compared against other data contained within the recommendation model in order to identify one or more radio stations that present audio content within the geographic region that best matches the audio content documented within the driver model corresponding to the driver. The one or more radio stations may then be communicated to the driver.

8. A method comprising:
-
generating, by a computer system, a plurality of driver models, wherein at least one driver model of the plurality of driver models corresponds to each driver of a plurality of vehicle drivers and documents audio content listened to by the each driver while driving; aggregating, by a component of the computer system, the plurality of driver models to generate a recommendation model correlating radio stations, audio content, and geographic regions; the aggregating wherein the component is located remotely with respect to each driver of the plurality of vehicle drivers; receiving, by the computer system from a first driver of the plurality of drivers while the first driver is in a first geographic region of the geographic regions, a request for recommendations; comparing, by the computer system, a first driver model of the plurality of driver models with other data contained within the recommendation model, the first driver model corresponding to the first driver; identifying, by the computer system based on the comparing, at least one radio station of the radio stations, wherein the at least one radio station presents audio content within the first geographic region that best matches the audio content documented within the first driver model; and recommending, by the computer system, the at least one radio station to the first driver. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
