Abstract
Aspects described herein describe providing content recommendations such as, for example, recommendations for video content. A content recommendation may be based on when content was previously consumed.
Claims46
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a plurality of first past time periods relative to an output time associated with content for recommendation, wherein each of the plurality of first past time periods is a first time period multiple of a first time period;
- determining a plurality of second past time periods relative to the output time associated with the content for recommendation, wherein each of the plurality of second past time periods is a second time period multiple of a second time period;
- determining, based on an output history and based on the plurality of first past time periods and the plurality of second past time periods, one or more previously outputted content items;
- generating, based on the one or more previously outputted content items, a recommendation that indicates content that is recommended for output;
- and
- causing output of the recommendation.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device and based on an output history, one or more previously outputted content items;
- determining, based on the output history, proximity information that indicates, for each previously outputted content item of the one or more previously outputted content items, proximity of an output time of the previously outputted content item to:
- a first past time, relative to an output time associated with content for recommendation, corresponding to a first time period multiple of a first time period;
- and
- a second past time, relative to the output time associated with the content for recommendation, corresponding to a second time period multiple of a second time period;
- generating, based on the proximity information, a recommendation that indicates content that is recommended for output;
- and
- causing output of the recommendation.
5 more elements
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- determine a plurality of first past time periods relative to an output time associated with content for recommendation, wherein each of the plurality of first past time periods is a first time period multiple of a first time period;
- determine a plurality of second past time periods relative to the output time associated with the content for recommendation, wherein each of the plurality of second past time periods is a second time period multiple of a second time period;
- determine, based on an output history and based on the plurality of first past time periods and the plurality of second past time periods, one or more previously outputted content items;
- generate, based on the one or more previously outputted content items, a recommendation that indicates content that is recommended for output;
- and
- cause output of the recommendation.
6 more elements
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the device to:
- determine based on an output history, one or more previously outputted content items;
- determine, based on the output history, proximity information that indicates, for each previously outputted content item of the one or more previously outputted content items, proximity of an output time of the previously outputted content item to:
- a first past time, a first past time, relative to an output time associated with content for recommendation, wherein the first past time corresponds to a first time period multiple of a first time period;
- and
- a second past time, relative to the output time associated with the content for recommendation, wherein the second past time corresponds to a second time period multiple of a second time period;
- generate, based on the proximity information, a recommendation that indicates content that is recommended for output;
- and
- cause output of the recommendation.
