Media exchange network supporting delivery of media content to authorized vehicles via media processing system
First Claim
1. A system providing support for the delivery of media to an authorized vehicle, the system comprising:
- a storage for storing media, and having an associated first network address;
set top box circuitry communicatively coupled to the storage, the set top box circuitry arranged to exchange media via a communication network using a first communication interface, the set top box supporting wireless communication of media using a second communication interface;
at least one vehicle system communicatively coupled to the set top box circuitry via the second communication interface, the at least one vehicle system having an associated second network address;
a user interface to support the delivery of media, the user interface having at least one view comprising a representation of a sequence of media available for delivery to the at least one vehicle system;
at least one server for storing media, and having an associated third network address; and
server software that receives a request, via the communication network, identifying at least one of the associated first, second, and third network addresses and authorization information, and responds by identifying at least one other of the at least one of the associated first, second, and third network addresses to support the delivery of media to the at least one vehicle system.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the delivery of media to authorized vehicles are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention may support the delivery of selected audio, still images, video, real time video, and data to a vehicle system. The media may be selected via a user interface comprising graphical representations of the media available for delivery. Example vehicle systems comprise navigation systems, video systems, music systems, and entertainment systems. In addition, the vehicle system may be communicatively coupled to a media peripheral including, for example, a digital camera, digital camcorder, or personal computer, to support the delivery of media to the media peripheral. Authorization information in the form of a digital certificate may enable the secure delivery of media.

25. A method for delivering media to an authorized vehicle, the method comprising:
-
selecting media for delivery based upon input from a user;
identifying a vehicle system to receive the selected media based upon input from the user;
determining if the vehicle system is available to receive the selected media;
receiving authorization information from the vehicle system;
verifying the authorization information;
delivering the selected media to the vehicle system if the verification is successful and the vehicle system is available to receive the selected media; and
refraining from delivering the selected media to the vehicle system if the verification is not successful or the vehicle system is not available to receive the selected media. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
