A method for providing media content in a public transportation vehicle comprising a mobile router, the method comprising: receiving, in the mobile router, one or more media streams from a media source; monitoring first connection parameters relating to a first connection between the mobile router and the media source and second connection parameters relating to a second connection between the mobile router and one or more client devices; determining, on the basis of said first and second connection parameters, optimized stream configuration for each of said one or more media streams; and providing each of said one or more media streams only according to the optimized stream configuration to said one or more client devices.

The invention relates to a sound diffusion system embedded in a railway vehicle and comprising: a plurality of groups of speakers distributed in the cars, each group of speakers being located in a respective diffusion zone of the railway vehicle; a control device of the speakers configured to broadcast generic sound signals via the different groups of speakers; and at least one reception device, each reception device being associated with a single group of speakers and being able to receive a control signal from a control device outside the railway vehicle, the control device being configured, upon reception of a control signal by one of the reception devices, to broadcast a specific sound signal solely via the associated group of speakers.

An electronic device includes at least one communication circuit, and a processor electrically connected with the at least one communication circuit. The processor may be configured to select an external electronic device in response to a user input, broadcast, through the at least one communication circuit using a first protocol, a connection request for a second protocol-based communication with the external electronic device, receive a response to the connection request from the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit, and perform communication with the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit using a second protocol, based on connection information about the external electronic device for the second protocol-based communication, the connection information being contained in the response.

In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a vehicle-based media system includes (a) receiving audio content; (b) causing one or more speakers to output the received audio content; (c) using a microphone of the vehicle-based media system to capture the output audio content; (d) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; (e) identifying a computational action based at least on the identified reference audio content; and (f) sending, via a network interface of the vehicle-based media system, an instruction that causes an external computing device to perform the identified computational action.

A system and method provides individualized broadcast radio content in a vehicle. The system has a transmitting unit for transmitting broadcast radio content to the vehicle. The transmitting unit is configured to receive broadcast radio content from a multiplicity of servers, to generate from the received broadcast radio content a selection of broadcast radio content individualized for the vehicle and to convey the individualized selection of broadcast radio content to a receiving unit of the vehicle. The vehicle also has a computing unit configured to generate from the individualized selection of broadcast radio content a broadcast radio content tailored to a current journey of the vehicle and/or a current frame of mind of the vehicle occupants.
