LOCATION-BASED IN-ROUTE ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving vehicle information that indicates a vehicle on which a user is traveling;
based at least in part on the vehicle information, determining a first location of the vehicle as the vehicle is in transit;
determining a first set of digital content items that describe content that relates to a first bounded region that includes the first location;
causing generation of a first map view covering the first bounded region, wherein the first map view includes;
a first graphical representation of the vehicle at the first location in the first bounded region, anda second graphical representation of a first content item of the first set of digital content items that describe content that relates to the first bounded region;
determining that the vehicle has moved to a second location as the vehicle is in transit;
determining a second set of digital content items that describe content that relates to a second bounded region that includes the second location;
causing generation of a second map view covering the second bounded region, wherein the second map view includes;
the first graphical representation of the vehicle at the second location in the second bounded region, anda third graphical representation of a second content item of the second set of digital content items that describe content that relates to the second bounded region;
receiving an indication that a user has selected the second graphical representation or the third graphical representation, and, in response to the user selection, the server causing display of additional information associated with the first content item or the second content item;
wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for generating a moving map that includes a graphical representation of a vehicle, such as an airplane, and content relevant to a location of the vehicle as the vehicle is in transit. An in-route entertainment server that serves the moving map may be onboard the vehicle or offboard the vehicle. The moving map may display the current location of the vehicle displayed by modifying a delayed location of the vehicle to account for a speed, a heading, and an amount of delay. Content items may be included on the moving map if they are within a bounded region around the location of the vehicle or in the vehicle. Content items may also be included if they are associated with a region that overlaps the bounded region. The bounded region changes as the vehicle moves in transit.
