The system accesses the viewing history of the user profile to determine media assets consumed and the mood score associated with each of the consumed media assets of the plurality of media assets. A cumulative mood score is calculated based at least in part to determine if the total score is below a mood threshold. Based on the cumulative mood score being lower than the mood threshold, the system generates for presentation, on the consumer device, one or more media assets with a positive mood score. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for recommending content based on a mood score associated with a user profile, the method comprising: accessing, from a memory database, a viewing history of a consumer device associated with the user profile, the viewing history comprising a plurality of media assets presented on the consumer device and a mood score associated with each media asset of the plurality of media assets; calculating, using a control circuitry, a cumulative mood score for the user profile based at least in part on the mood score for each media asset of the plurality of media assets in the viewing history; determining, using the control circuitry, that the cumulative mood score for the user profile is lower than a mood threshold; and in response to the cumulative mood score being lower than the mood threshold, generating for presentation, on the consumer device, one or more media assets with a positive mood score. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the calculating the cumulative mood score for the user profile comprises: capturing, via a sensor device, biometric data for the user associated with the user profile; correlating the biometric data to a biometric mood score; and combining the biometric mood score and the mood score for each media asset of the plurality of media assets in the viewing history to determine the cumulative mood score of the user profile. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: forwarding, to the consumer device associated with the user profile, a media asset with a mood score below the mood threshold; determining that the cumulative mood score of the user profile is below the mood threshold; and in response to determining that the cumulative mood score of the user profile is below the mood threshold, delaying delivery of the media asset with the mood score below the mood threshold to the consumer device associated with the user profile. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the delaying delivery of the media asset with the mood score below the mood threshold to the consumer device associated with the user profile comprises delaying delivery of the media asset until the cumulative mood score of the user profile is above the mood threshold. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the calculating the cumulative mood score for the user profile is based on a predetermined period. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the calculating the cumulative mood score for the user profile is based on a latest content presentation session. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the mood threshold is a first mood threshold; wherein generating for presentation, on the consumer device, the media assets with the positive mood score comprises generating for presentation media assets with a mood score above a second mood threshold, wherein the second mood threshold is higher than the first mood threshold. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the generating for presentation, on the consumer device, the media assets with a positive mood score comprises: identifying based on the viewing history of the user profile a common context of the media assets presented for consumption; and in response to identifying the common context of the media assets, generating for presentation, on the consumer device, the media assets with a mood score above the first mood threshold and a context different from the identified common context. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the mood threshold is a first mood threshold; the method further comprising: in response to the calculating, comparing the cumulative mood score to a second mood threshold; and in response to the cumulative mood score being above the second mood threshold, recommending a supplemental media asset. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, at the consumer device, a selection of a mood indicator of the media asset, the mood indicator comprising at least one of an emoji, a comment, a mood input value or biometric data; and correlating, by the control circuitry, the mood indicator to a mood score for each media asset. ### Claim 11 A system for recommending content based on a mood score associated with a user profile, the system comprising: a memory configured to store information from the user profile; a control circuitry configured to: access a viewing history of a consumer device associated with the user profile, the viewing history comprises a plurality of media assets presented on the consumer device, and a mood score associated with each media asset of the plurality of media assets; calculate a cumulative mood score for the user profile based at least in part on the mood score for each media asset of the plurality of media assets in the viewing history; determine that the cumulative mood score for the user profile is lower than a mood threshold; and in response to the cumulative mood score being lower than the mood threshold, generate for presentation, on the consumer device, one or more media assets with a positive mood score. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to calculate the cumulative mood score for the user profile by: capturing via a sensor device, biometric data for the user associated with the user profile; correlating the biometric data to a biometric mood score; and combining the biometric mood score and the mood score for each media asset of the plurality of media assets in the viewing history to determine the cumulative mood score of the user profile. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: forward, to a consumer device associated with the user profile, a media asset with a mood score below the mood threshold; determine that the cumulative mood score of the user profile is below the mood threshold; and in response to determining that the cumulative mood score of the user profile is below the mood threshold, delay delivery of the media asset with the mood score below the mood threshold to the consumer device associated with the user profile. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the control circuitry is configured to delay delivery of the media asset with the mood score below the mood threshold to the consumer device associated with the user profile by delaying delivery of the media asset until the cumulative mood score of the user profile is above the mood threshold. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the calculating the cumulative mood score for the user profile is based on a predetermined period. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the calculating the cumulative mood score for the user profile is based on a latest content presentation session. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the mood threshold is a first mood threshold, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for presentation, on the consumer device, the media assets with the positive mood score by generating for presentation media assets with a mood score above a second mood threshold, wherein the second mood threshold is higher than the first mood threshold. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11 wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for presentation, on the consumer device, the media assets with a positive mood score by: identifying based on the viewing history of the user profile a common context of the media assets presented for consumption;
