Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for automatically switching to a digital multimedia content provider. The system includes a server in data communication with one or more vehicles and one or more digital multimedia content provider servers. The server may include a memory storing keyword data and a processor connected to the memory. The processor may receive identifying information corresponding to a vehicle occupant or interest information associated with the vehicle occupant from a vehicle. The processor may receive streaming data from the digital multimedia content provider servers. The processor may compare the received streaming data against the keyword data. The processor may detect a match between the streaming data and the keyword data based on the comparison. The processor may identify at least one digital multimedia content provider server based on the detected match. The processor may transmit data related to the identified digital multimedia content provider server to the vehicle.
