Abstract

Techniques for facilitating a shopping experience based on a passenger'"'"'s destination are described. According to various embodiments, a destination location of a passenger on a vehicle is determined. Contextual electronic content is then selected, based on the destination location of the passenger. Thereafter, the contextual electronic content is displayed via a user interface on a vehicle passenger seat display screen associated with the passenger or on the passenger'"'"'s mobile device.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining a destination location of a passenger on a vehicle;

selecting, by a machine having a memory and at least one processor, contextual electronic content based on the destination location of the passenger; and

displaying, via a user interface, the contextual electronic content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the destination location is determined based on electronic passenger information included in a passenger itinerary, passenger record, or passenger manifest associated with the passenger.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content is displayed on a mobile device associated with the passenger.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content is displayed on a vehicle seat display screen in the vehicle that is associated with the passenger.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content includes at least one of an advertisement, a coupon, a promotion, and a product recommendation.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content includes a recommendation for a product or service determined to be historically popular among other passengers traveling to the destination location.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content includes a recommendation for a product or service determined based on a current or predicted whether condition at the destination location.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual electronic content includes a recommendation for a product or service determined based on at least one of an origin location associated with the passenger, a flyover location associated with the vehicle, and the destination location.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically specifying, based on the destination location, a delivery address in conjunction with a product purchase selection by the passenger, the delivery address corresponding to a destination airport or destination hotel associated with the passenger.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically specifying, based on electronic payment information associated with the passenger, payment information in conjunction with a product purchase selection by the passenger.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying further comprises:

determining that the passenger is occupying an alternate seat associated with an additional passenger; and

displaying the contextual electronic content on a vehicle seat display screen in the vehicle that is associated with the alternate seat.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining that the passenger is associated with one or more additional passengers in the vehicle; and

displaying the contextual electronic content to the passenger and the one or more additional passengers.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the contextual electronic content corresponds to an offer or recommendation for a group buy deal.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting further comprises:

establishing a connection with a mobile device associated with the passenger;

accessing at least one of calendar information and playlist information associated with the passenger from the mobile device; and

selecting the contextual electronic content, based on the accessed calendar information or playlist information.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting further comprises:

monitoring media disseminated to the passenger via a vehicle media playback system in the vehicle associated with the passenger; and

selecting the contextual electronic content, based on the monitored content.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting further comprises:

identifying, based on the destination location, at least one of film content, television show content, music content, and gaming content related to the destination location; and

selecting the contextual electronic content, based on the identified content.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

monitoring media disseminated to the passenger via a vehicle media playback system in the vehicle associated with the passenger,

identifying a playback stop point corresponding to a most recent portion of the media disseminated by the passenger;

storing the playback stop point in association with information identifying the media and the passenger;

determining that the passenger has logged into a media hosting service; and

transmitting a request to the media hosting service to resume playback of the media at the playback stop point.

18. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, from a media hosting service, a playback stop point corresponding to a most recent portion of media previously disseminated by the passenger via the media hosting service;

storing the playback stop point in association with information identifying the media and the passenger;

determining that the passenger has accessed a vehicle media playback system in the vehicle associated with the passenger; and

resuming playback, via the vehicle media playback system, of the media at the playback stop point.

19. A system comprising:

a machine including a memory and at least one processor;

a determination module, executable by the machine, configured to determine a destination location of a passenger on a vehicle; and

a content management module configured to;

select contextual electronic content based on the destination location of the passenger; and

display, via a user interface, the contextual electronic content.

20. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

determining a destination location of a passenger on a vehicle;

selecting contextual electronic content based on the destination location of the passenger; and

displaying, via a user interface, the contextual electronic content.
