Patent Watch: Apple Applies for LBS Media Delivery Patent

The application for Location based media presentation describes a method for delivering different digital media content depending on where the user is located. Thus you get different information if you were in the U.S. vs. Spain, running uphill or down, or enterring a study hall. The location informatoin could come from GPS or be assigned.

The abstract:

Media can be presented based on location associated with presentation of media (e.g., physical location of a device that is to present media). Presentation of media can be effectively controlled in order to automatically present a first media content (e.g., a list of songs, an album) in accordance with a first set of media presentation attributes or parameters (e.g., volume associated with presentation of audible media) at a first location, while a second media content is automatically presented in accordance with a second set of media presentation attributes or parameters when the current location is changed to a second location.
