1. A media-presentation-conscious scheduling method comprising:
- obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of a mobile device a first itinerary associated with said mobile device, wherein said mobile device comprises a passenger vehicle to which said first itinerary pertains;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a first streaming playable content sequence including first and second media works;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a modified itinerary associated with said mobile device having undergone a geographical change to a programmed navigational route;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a prediction that said modified itinerary will encounter a first connectivity impairment interval conditionally as a result of said geographical change to said programmed navigational route;
triggering a determination of a queued content total duration that is at least partly based on a duration of said first and second media works;
automatically sequencing supplemental content into an onboard presentation queue with said second media work as a conditional response to a predicted download capacity shortage partly based on said geographical change to said programmed navigational route and partly based on a first indication of said first connectivity impairment interval in relation to a queued content total duration, wherein said connectivity impairment interval has a predicted duration signifying how long content arriving to said passenger vehicle via a broadcast radio signal is predicted to be unavailable and greater than one minute;
automatically updating said a playable content sequence of said onboard presentation queue as a conditional response to obtaining a third media work by inserting said third media work before said first media work and so that a complete presentation of said third media work is scheduled to occur before said mobile device reaches a first waypoint of said programmed navigational route, wherein said third media work is preferred over said first media work partly based on a mode of transporting said mobile device and partly based on a digital expression that identifies a physical feature, wherein said geographical change to said programmed navigational route indicates a physical detour via said first waypoint toward said physical feature;
causing a presentation of said preferred third media work before said mobile device reaches said first waypoint; and
presenting at said mobile device said second media work and said supplemental content after said preferred third media work and after said mobile device reaches said first waypoint according to said onboard presentation queue.

Abstract
Media-presentation-conscious scheduling protocols are disclosed that may associate a geographical location containing a thing with an identifier of the thing and allow later-found media works that pertain to the identifier to be presented at a mobile device before the device reaches a waypoint of the location. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may respond to a predicted connectivity impairment of a traveling device by obtaining supplemental content to mitigate a predicted capacity shortage. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may interrupt live stream content, insert on-demand content, and later return to live stream presentation automatically.
