## Abstract

Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces based on interactions with broadcast events are provided. The system can maintain content items corresponding to a live event, and identify interactions provided via a broadcast receiver device while the broadcast receiver device presented corresponding historic live event broadcasts. The system can determine an arrangement of the content items corresponding to the live event based on attributes of the historic live event broadcasts. The system can generate display instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with a broadcast of the live event according to the arrangement, and transmit the display instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with the broadcast of the live event.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
maintaining, by one or more processors coupled to memory, a plurality of content items corresponding to a live event, at least one of the plurality of content items comprising an interactive user interface element that causes a broadcast receiver device to transmit, to the one or more processors, responsive to an interaction with the user interface element, a request to cause the one or more processors to update a player profile associated with the broadcast receiver device;
receiving, by the one or more processors, from a first broadcast receiver device, a request for content relating to a broadcast of the live event, the request for content identifying a first player profile of the first broadcast receiver device;
determining, by the one or more processors, a set of attributes of the live event to which the request for content is related;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the first player profile includes an indication that the one or more processors are authorized to store records of historic live event broadcasts previously presented by the first broadcast receiver device and store records of interactions with historic content items received via the first broadcast receiver device, the historic content items previously presented with the historic live event broadcasts at the first broadcast receiver device;
identifying, by the one or more processors, subsequent to determining the first player profile includes the indication, from the records of interactions, a plurality of historic interactions provided via the first broadcast receiver device while the first broadcast receiver device presented corresponding historic live event broadcasts;
selecting, by the one or more processors, based on one or more attributes of the corresponding historic live event broadcasts matching at least one of the set of attributes of the live event, a subset of the plurality of content items for presentation by the first broadcast receiver device with a broadcast of the live event;
generating, by the one or more processors, display instructions for the first broadcast receiver device that causes the first broadcast receiver device to display the subset of the plurality of content items with the broadcast of the live event; and
transmitting, by the one or processors, the display instructions to the first broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to display the subset of the plurality of content items with the broadcast of the live event.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, an arrangement of the subset of the plurality of content items.

receive, from a first broadcast receiver device, a request for content relating to a broadcast of the live event, the request for content identifying a first player profile of the first broadcast receiver device;
determine a set of attributes of the live event to which the request for content is related;
determine that the first player profile includes an indication that the one or more processors are authorized to store records of historic live event broadcasts previously presented by the first broadcast receiver device and store records of interactions with historic content items received via the first broadcast receiver device, the historic content items previously presented with the historic live event broadcasts at the first broadcast receiver device;
identify, subsequent to determining the first player profile includes the indication, from the records of interactions, a plurality of historic interactions provided via the first broadcast receiver device while the first broadcast receiver device presented corresponding historic live event broadcasts;
select, based on one or more attributes of the corresponding historic live event broadcasts matching at least one of the set of attributes of the live event, a subset of the plurality of content items for presentation by the first broadcast receiver device with a broadcast of the live event;
generate display instructions for the first broadcast receiver device that causes the first broadcast receiver device to display the subset of the plurality of content items with the broadcast of the live event; and
transmit the display instructions to the first broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to display the subset of the plurality of content items with the broadcast of the live event.
