Abstract
Methods and systems for generating social posts for users watching media content include processing inputs provided by one or more users of a group viewing the media content. Mood of each user in the group is predicted based on context of a portion of the media content currently rendering and the inputs of the users. A social post is generated for each user based on the predicted mood of the user. The social post is forwarded for rendering as input from the user.
Claims18
A method for generating social posts for users watching media content, comprising:
- identifying the users viewing the media content as a group including a first user;
- receiving inputs provided by at least one second user in the group viewing the media content;
- predicting a mood of a first user in the group at a time when a portion of the media content is displaying at a client device of the first user, the predicting based on context associated with the portion of the media content and the inputs received in a comment box rendered alongside the media content, the inputs received from the at least one second user in the group leading up to the time of displaying of the portion of the media content;
- and
- automatically generating, without any current input from the first user, a social post for the first user based on the context associated with the portion of the media content and the predicted mood of the first user, the social post generated in accordance to an interaction style of the first user determined by analyzing social interactions generated by the first user over time, the social post forwarded in a social post user interface to the client device of the first user for displaying to allow the first user to verify the social post prior to the social post being posted in the comment box as an input originating from the first user, wherein, the social post user interface includes one or more options, which when activated, allows the first user to perform edits to the social post prior to posting in the comment box shared with other users in the group, wherein the comment box and the social post user interface are different from social media user interface of a social media application,
- wherein operations of the method are performed by a social posting engine executing on a processor of a computing device.
A system for generating social posts for users watching media content, comprising:
- a social posting engine configured to, identify the users viewing the media content as a group including a first user;
- receive inputs provided by at least one second user in the group viewing the media content;
- predict a mood of a first user in the group at a time when a portion of the media content is displaying at corresponding client devices of the one or more users, wherein the mood is predicted based on context associated with the portion of the media content displaying at the time and the inputs received in a comment box rendered alongside the media content, the inputs received from the at least one second user in the group leading up to the time of displaying of the portion of the media content;
- and
- automatically generate, without any current input from the first user, a social post for the first user based on the context associated with the portion of the media content and the mood predicted for the first user, the social post generated in accordance to an interaction style of the first user determined by analyzing social interactions generated by the first user over time, the social post forwarded in a social post user interface to a client device of the first user for displaying to allow the first user to verify the social post prior to the social post being posted in the comment box as an input originating from the first user, wherein the social post user interface includes one or more options, which, when activated, allows the first user to perform edits to the social post prior to posting in the comment box shared with other users in the group, wherein the comment box and the social post user interface are different from a social media user interface of a social media application,
- wherein the social posting engine is stored in memory and executed by a processor of a computing device.
