ADAPTIVE PREDICTIVE CACHING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A media-presentation-conscious scheduling method comprising:
- obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of a mobile device a first itinerary associated with said mobile device, wherein said mobile device comprises a passenger vehicle to which said first itinerary pertains;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a first streaming playable content sequence including first and second media works;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a modified itinerary associated with said mobile device having undergone a navigational route change;
obtaining by transistor-based circuitry of said mobile device a prediction that said modified itinerary will encounter a first connectivity impairment interval conditionally as a result of said navigational route change;
triggering a determination of a queued content total duration that is at least partly based on a duration of said first and second media works;
automatically sequencing supplemental content into an onboard presentation queue with said second media work as a conditional response to a predicted download capacity shortage partly based on said navigational route change and partly based on a first indication of said first connectivity impairment interval in relation to a queued content total duration, wherein said connectivity impairment interval has a predicted duration signifying how long content arriving to said passenger vehicle via a broadcast radio signal is predicted to be unavailable and greater than one minute; and
presenting at said mobile device said second media work and said supplemental content according to said onboard presentation queue.

Abstract
Media-presentation-conscious scheduling protocols are disclosed that may associate a geographical location containing a thing with an identifier of the thing and allow later-found media works that pertain to the identifier to be presented at a mobile device before the device reaches a waypoint of the location. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may respond to a predicted connectivity impairment of a traveling device by obtaining supplemental content to mitigate a predicted capacity shortage. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may interrupt live stream content, insert on-demand content, and later return to live stream presentation automatically.
