Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a content selection system and a user device including at least a portion of the content selection system for selectively enabling a user device on the move to utilize digital content associated with one or more entities located ahead of the user device. The system determines a current position and travel direction of the user device and derives foresight conditions input including time availability indicating parameter(s). The system defines a geographical limiting zone extending in front of the user device, based on the position, travel direction, and a first time availability indicating parameter of the foresight conditions input. The system compares the limiting zone to a first stored geographical location of at least a first entity, and enables content associated with the first entity to be utilized by the user device, when the first location is within the limiting zone.
