1. A method for producing environmental conditions associated with media assets, comprising:
- receiving media information associated with a media asset;
determining an environmental condition of a current progress point in the media asset based on the media information;
accessing a database of control systems, wherein each entry in the database of control systems includes a first field corresponding to a given environmental condition, a second field corresponding to a given control system that can be used to the produce the given environmental condition, and a third field corresponding to a given setting for the given control system that is required to produce the given environmental condition, to determine a control system and a setting for the control system that can be used to produce the environmental condition of the current progress point; and
generating the environmental condition by adjusting a current setting for the control system to the setting.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for a guidance application capable of coordinating the interior features of a vehicle (e.g., the heating/cooling system, automatic windows, automatic seats, automatic sunroof, seat heaters, etc.) to produce the current environmental conditions (e.g., sunshine, heat, wind, etc.) displayed in a media asset being accessed in the vehicle.

11. A system for producing environmental conditions associated with media assets, the system comprising:
-
storage circuitry configured to store a database of features used to produce environmental conditions; and control circuitry configured to; receive media information associated with a media asset; determine an environmental condition of a current progress point in the media asset based on the media information; access a database of control systems, wherein each entry in the database of control systems includes a first field corresponding to a given environmental condition, a second field corresponding to a given control system that can be used to the produce the given environmental condition, and a third field corresponding to a given setting for the given control system that is required to produce the given environmental condition, to determine a control system and a setting for the control system that can be used to produce the environmental condition of the current progress point; and generate the environmental condition by adjusting a current setting for the control system to the setting. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
