Methods and systems are employed for selectively controlling the presentation of broadcast content item in which a unique set of broadcast content items are presented based on the selection of a content type and a selection of a geography for each content type to control the manner in which broadcast content types are recorded and/or presented for the vehicle. In some embodiments, methods and systems are employed for providing relevant information to a vehicle based on receiving multiple broadcast streams, and separating the broadcast content items into segments based on a variety of content types along a predicted path of the vehicle.

Implementing and applying a database with radio station information that is gathered from client devices as stations become available to a plurality of users (i.e., crowd sourced radio station information) and allowing for a client device to download only the radio station information that is pertinent to the travel route of the user and/or radio station selection criteria associated with the client device or the user. Radio station information can be rendered via a graphical interface of a client device to allow the user to informatively select a new radio station, either before or as a current radio signal degrades to the point of being unusable. Radio station information may be rendered to cause the user's terrestrial radio to tune to a new station.

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing images or video using computer vision. Data comprising real time or near real time information or historical information is retrieved that is associated with a sporting event at a physical location. A time segment is identified of a display device at the physical location for acquisition. The display device is configurable to present visual sponsorship data during the time segment for an assigned sponsor. It is determined that one or more rules are satisfied by the data. An indication is transmitted that the first rule is satisfied to a computing device of a sponsor. A bid or valuation is generated based at least on the first rule being satisfied. A request to acquire the time segment is received from the computing device of the sponsor, and the display device at the physical location is caused to present visual sponsorship data for the sponsor during the time segment.

A system and method for conducting a refractive examination of an eye of a patient, has a communication device with a communication module that connects to the internet, a processor that is programmed to connect to a remote computer via the communication module and which has a display screen, a microphone and a speaker. The remote computer has a data storage device that stores images of eye charts. The communication device is mounted in a virtual reality headset configured to be worn by the patient and has at least one screen through which the display screen of the communication device is viewable. The communication device displays images in the form of the eye charts to the patient, who communicates through the communication to a remote examiner who conducts the refractive examination using multiple different eye charts to determine the prescription of the patient.

A processor of a broadcasting selects an encoding method for a first broadcast based on a first broadcast characteristic, wherein the encoding method is a default encoding method when the first broadcast characteristic is not recognized by the system, and transmits the first broadcast, encoded using the encoding method, to a playback device. The processor further uses a feedback control loop to dynamically adjust parameters of the encoding method to optimize a metric related to quality and a bitrate of the encoded first broadcast. The processor transmits a second broadcast encoded using the encoding method having the adjusted parameters to the playback device.

An automated media scheduling system selects a media item from a first category of media items to be scheduled during a transition period included in a first daypart of a first day by determining that a media item from the first category of media items is to be scheduled. The system selects a media item using a strict rotation performed in a first order, but then determines that scheduling item results in an adjacency conflict. The system establishes a second, different order of media items from the same category. Each media item in the category is tested in the second order, until an item with an adjacency conflict is found. That media item is scheduled in place of the previously selected media item. The system then schedules remaining time periods in the first daypart of the first day by performing the strict rotation in the first order.

Methods and apparatus to dynamically generate audio signatures adaptive to circumstances associated with media being monitored are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a signal selector to select a first signature scheme from among a plurality of signature schemes to generate monitored signatures for media being monitored by a meter. The first signature scheme is selected based on a circumstance associated with the media. The apparatus includes a signal generator to generate a first monitored signature from the media based on the first signature scheme. The apparatus further includes a communications interface to transmit the first monitored signature to a data collection facility.
