Abstract

A system and method for customized music delivery to a vehicle including determining a playlist 200, storing the playlist on a server 202, selecting content corresponding to the playlist 204, transmitting the content to the vehicle by satellite 206, and storing the content in a telematics unit 208.

Claims

1. A method for customized music delivery to a vehicle, the method comprising:

determining a playlist;

storing the playlist on a server;

selecting content corresponding to the playlist;

transmitting the content to the vehicle by satellite;

storing the content in a telematics unit; and

measuring revisions to the playlist.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining play control parameters for the content;

storing the play control parameters on the server;

transmitting the play control parameters to the vehicle by satellite; and

storing the play control parameters in the telematics unit.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining associated content information for the content;

storing the associated content information on the server;

transmitting the associated content information to the vehicle by satellite; and

storing the associated content information in the telematics unit.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising revising the playlist stored on the server to generate a revised playlist.

5. A method for customized music delivery to a vehicle, the method comprising:

determining a playlist;

storing the playlist on a server;

selecting content corresponding to the playlist;

transmitting the content to the vehicle by satellite;

storing the content in a telematics unit; and

measuring the content transmitted.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

determining play control parameters for the content;

storing the play control parameters on the server;

transmitting the play control parameters to the vehicle by satellite; and

storing the play control parameters in the telematics unit.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

determining associated content information for the content;

storing the associated content information on the server;

transmitting the associated content information to the vehicle by satellite; and

storing the associated content information in the telematics unit.

8. The method of claim 5 further comprising revising the playlist stored on the server to generate a revised playlist.

9. A system for delivering systemized music to a vehicle, the system comprising:

means for determining a playlist;

means for storing the playlist on a server;

means for selecting content corresponding to the playlist;

means for transmitting the content to a vehicle by satellite;

means for storing the content in a telematics unit; and

means for measuring revisions to the playlist.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising:

means for determining associated content information for the content;

means for storing the associated content information on the server;

means for transmitting the associated content information to the vehicle by satellite; and

means for storing the associated content information in the telematics unit.

11. A system for delivering systemized music to a vehicle, the system comprising:

means for determining a playlist;

means for storing the playlist on a server;

means for selecting content corresponding to the playlist;

means for transmitting the content to a vehicle by satellite;

means for storing the content in a telematics unit; and

means for measuring the content transmitted.

12. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

means for determining associated content information for the content;

means for storing the associated content information on the server;

means for transmitting the associated content information to the vehicle by satellite; and

means for storing the associated content information in the telematics unit.

13. A computer readable medium for delivering customized music to a vehicle, the computer readable medium comprising:

computer readable code for determining a playlist;

computer readable code for storing the playlist on a server;

computer readable code for selecting content corresponding to the playlist;

computer readable code for transmitting the content to the vehicle by satellite;

computer readable code for storing the content in a telematics unit; and

computer readable code for measuring revisions to the playlist.

14. A computer readable medium for delivering customized music to a vehicle, the computer readable medium comprising:

computer readable code for determining a playlist;
