Abstract

In an approach for sending a media list to a transportation vehicle for a user, a processor determines a media list for travel for a user, wherein the media list includes at least one media content item, and wherein the media list has associated access credentials that are set by the user. A processor receives a travel reservation for the user, wherein the travel reservation includes, at least, a departure location and a destination location. A processor determines a transportation vehicle associated with the travel reservation. A processor receives the access credentials to the media list. A processor uses the access credentials to access the media list. A processor send the media list to the transportation vehicle, wherein the media list is associated with the user, and wherein the media list is accessible to the user.

Claims

1. A method for sending a media list to a transportation vehicle for a user, the method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors, a media list for travel for a user, wherein;

the media list includes at least one media content item;

the media list has associated access credentials that are set by the user; and

the at least one media content item is a size smaller than a maximum amount of content requirement;

receiving, by one or more processors, a travel reservation for the user, wherein the travel reservation includes, at least, a departure location, destination location, and a seat assigned to the user;

determining, by one or more processors, a transportation vehicle associated with the travel reservation;

receiving, by one or more processors, the access credentials to the media list;

using, by one or more processors, the access credentials to access the media list;

prior to sending the media list to the transportation vehicle, determining, by one or more processors, the user checked in for the travel reservation;

sending, by one or more processors, the media list to the transportation vehicle, wherein;

the media list is associated with the user;

the media list is accessible to the user;

sending the media list to the transportation vehicle includes storing content of the media list on the transportation vehicle and limiting content playback to the seat assigned to the user; and

sending the media list to the transportation vehicle further comprises;

determining, by one or more processors, the transportation vehicle has the maximum amount of content requirement,

determining, by one or more processors, the media list exceeds the maximum amount of content requirement, and

subsequent to determining that the media list exceeds the maximum amount of content requirement, loading, by one or more processors, a subset of the media list, including the at least one media content item, wherein the subset does not exceed the maximum amount of content requirement;

receiving, by one or more processors, a request to access media content of the media list associated with the user from a streaming device, wherein receiving a request to access the media content of the media list includes the user logging into a streaming server from the seat assigned to the user on the transportation vehicle using the access credentials, and wherein the user has access to any of the media content of the media list that was sent to the transportation vehicle; and

presenting, by one or more processors, the media content to the streaming device.
