Abstract
Example embodiments provide a system and method for dynamically triggering display of recommendations during an end-of-show period. A digital receiver identifies an end-of-show period for a piece of digital content. The end-of-show period indicates a portion at an end of the piece of digital content during which display of recommendations can be triggered. The digital receiver monitors for a motion indication signal from a remote control device. In response to both playback of the piece of digital content being within the end-of-show period and a determination that the motion indication signal is received, the digital receiver causes immediate display of one or more recommendations of further digital content.

A method comprising:
- identifying an end-of-show period for a piece of first digital content, the end-of-show period corresponding to a portion at an end of the piece of first digital content during which to present one or more recommendations of second digital content, the identifying the end-of-show period comprising:
- identifying one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content, the one or more first attributes including a length of the piece of first digital content or a content type for the piece of first digital content;
- identifying, from a data store, data for further digital content having one or more second attributes that are similar to the one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content;
- and
- using the data from the data store, determining a beginning of the end-of-show period for the piece of first digital content;
- upon determining that the playback of the piece of first digital content has reached the end-of-show period, initiating, by a hardware processor, a monitoring process to check for receipt of a signal indicating that a remote control device has been moved from a first location to a second location by the user;
- and
- causing presentation of the one or more recommendations of the second digital content in response to the receipt, during the end-of-show period, of the signal indicating that the remote control device has been moved from the first location to the second location by the user.

A hardware storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- identifying an end-of-show period for a piece of first digital content, the end-of-show period corresponding to a portion at an end of the piece of first digital content during which to present one or more recommendations of second digital content, the identifying the end-of-show period comprising:
- identifying one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content, the one or more first attributes including a length of the piece of first digital content or a content type for the piece of first digital content;
- identifying, from a data store, data about further digital content having one or more second attributes that are similar to the one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content;
- and
- using the data from the data store, determining a beginning of the end-of-show period for the piece of first digital content;
- upon determining that the playback of the piece of first digital content has reached the end-of-show period, initiating a monitoring process to check for receipt of a signal indicating that a remote control device has been moved from a first location to a second location by the user;
- and
- causing presentation of the one or more recommendations of the second digital content in response to the receipt, during the end-of-show period, of the signal indicating that the remote control device has been moved from the first location to the second location by the user.

A system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- and
- a storage device storing instructions that configure the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- identifying an end-of-show period for a piece of first digital content, the end-of-show period corresponding to a portion at an end of the piece of first digital content during which to present one or more recommendations of second digital content, the identifying the end-of-show period comprising:
- identifying one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content, the one or more first attributes including a length of the piece of first digital content or a content type for the piece of first digital content;
- identifying, from a data store, data about further digital content having one or more second attributes that are similar to the one or more first attributes of the piece of first digital content;
- and
- using the data from the data store, determining a beginning of the end-of-show period for the piece of first digital content;
- upon determining that the playback of the piece of first digital content has reached the end-of-show period, initiating a monitoring process to check for receipt of a signal indicating that a remote control device has been moved from a first location to a second location by the user;
- and
- causing presentation of the one or more recommendations of the second digital content in response to the receipt, during the end-of-show period, of the signal indicating that the remote control device has been moved from the first location to the second location by the user.
