Abstract
Systems and methods for sorting media assets are provided. Playback information for each of a plurality of media assets is received, the playback information representing a percentage of a length of the corresponding media asset that each of a plurality of users previously viewed. Representations of the plurality of media assets are generated. The representations of the plurality of media assets are sorted based on the percentage of the length of the corresponding media asset that each of a plurality of users previously viewed. The sorted representations of the plurality of media assets are generated for display to a first user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving playback information for each of a plurality of media assets, the playback information representing viewing information for the corresponding media asset that each of a plurality of users previously viewed;
- retrieving, from the received playback information, a viewing history for the plurality of media assets, wherein the viewing history indicates a number of times each of the plurality of users requested one or more fast-access playback operations while accessing a corresponding one of the media assets;
- generating representations of the plurality of media assets;
- sorting the representations of the plurality of media assets based on the number of times each of the plurality of users requested the one or more fast-access playback operations to be performed;
- and
- generating for display the sorted representations of the plurality of media assets.
A system comprising control circuitry configured to:
- receive playback information for each of a plurality of media assets, the playback information representing viewing information for the corresponding media asset that each of a plurality of users previously viewed;
- retrieve, from the received playback information, a viewing history for the plurality of media assets, wherein the viewing history indicates a number of times each of the plurality of users requested one or more fast-access playback operations while accessing a corresponding one of the media assets;
- generate representations of the plurality of media assets;
- sort the representations of the plurality of media assets based on the number of times each of the plurality of users requested the one or more fast-access playback operations to be performed;
- and
- generate for display the sorted representations of the plurality of media assets.
