Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating and presenting content series recommendations to a particular user that has just completed binge-watching a particular content series. The recommendations are based on content series consumed by other users who have also consumed the content series just completed by the user and that share behavioral attributes to that of the user.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for providing a new content series recommendation, the method comprising:
- detecting that a user has completed consumption of a first content series within a threshold period of time, wherein the first content series comprises one or more seasons, each season including a plurality of episodes of the first content series;
- determining, using processing circuitry, one or more behavioral attributes related to preferences of the user in connection with the consumption of the first content series, wherein the one or more behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user comprises how long it took the user to complete consumption of at least one season of the first content series and how often the user switched between different content items while consuming the content series;
- when the user has completed the consumption of the first content series, identifying, using the processing circuitry, at least one other user that has completed consumption of the first content series based on a comparison of respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user and of the at least one other user, wherein the at least one other user shares at least one behavioral attribute, related to the preferences of the user, with the user, and wherein behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user are accessed from an electronic database;
- analyzing a plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user;
- identifying, using the processing circuitry, a second content series consumed by the at least one other user that does not include any episodes included in the one or more seasons that comprise the first content series, wherein the second content series was consumed by the at least one other user within a second threshold period of time;
- and
- causing to be provided the new content series recommendation based on the second content series consumed by the at least one other user, wherein the causing to be provided the new content series recommendation comprises generating for display (a) an indication of at least one other content series, and (b) the plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user and associated with the at least one other content series, and wherein the plurality of viewing data is generated as numerical values based on the comparison of the respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user.
A system for providing a new content series recommendation, the system comprising:
- an electronic database;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- detect that a user has completed consumption of a first content series within a threshold period of time, wherein the first content series comprises one or more seasons, each season including a plurality of episodes of the first content series;
- determine one or more behavioral attributes related to preferences of the user in connection with the consumption of the first content series, wherein the one or more behavior attributes related to the preferences of the user comprises how long it took the user to complete consumption of at least one season of the first content series and how often the user switched between different content items while consuming the content series;
- when the user has completed the consumption of the first content series, identify at least one other user that has completed consumption of the first content series based on a comparison of respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user and of the at least one other user, wherein the at least one other user shares at least one behavioral attribute, related to the preferences of the user, with the user, and wherein behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user are accessed from the electronic database;
- analyze a plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user;
- identify a second content series consumed by the at least one other user that does not include any episodes included in the one or more seasons that comprise the first content series, wherein the second content series was consumed by the at least one other user within a second threshold period of time, and
- cause to be provided the new content series recommendation based on the second content series consumed by the at least one other user, wherein causing to be provided the new content series recommendation comprises generating for display (a) an indication of at least one other content series, and (b) the plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user and associated with the at least one other content series, and wherein the plurality of viewing data is generated as numerical values based on the comparison of the respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored computer instructions that, when executed, cause to be performed a method for providing a new content series recommendation, the method comprising:
- detecting that a user has completed consumption of a first content series within a threshold period of time, wherein the first content series comprises one or more seasons, each season including a plurality of episodes of the first content series;
- determining, using processing circuitry, one or more behavioral attributes related to preferences of the user in connection with the consumption of the first content series, wherein the one or more behavior attributes related to the preferences of the user comprises how long it took the user to complete consumption of at least one season of the first content series and how often the user switched between different content items while consuming the content series;
- when the user has completed the consumption of the first content series, identifying, using the processing circuitry, at least one other user that has completed consumption of the first content series based on a comparison of respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user and of the at least one other user, wherein the at least one other user shares at least one behavioral attribute, related to the preferences of the user, with the user, and wherein behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user are accessed from an electronic database;
- analyzing a plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user;
- identifying, using the processing circuitry, a second content series consumed by the at least one other user that does not include any episodes included in the one or more seasons that comprise the first content series, wherein the second content series was consumed by the at least one other user within a second threshold period of time;
- and
- causing to be provided the new content series recommendation based on the second content series consumed by the at least one other user, wherein the causing to be provided the new content series recommendation comprises generating for display (a) an indication of at least one other content series, and (b) the plurality of viewing data derived from the respective behavioral attributes, related to the preferences of the user, of the at least one other user and associated with the at least one other content series, and wherein the plurality of viewing data is generated as numerical values based on the comparison of the respective behavioral attributes related to the preferences of the user.
