Abstract
A computing device is programmed to receive, first and second user indicia of interest for media content. The computing device is further programmed to receive first user data related to a media content item. Based at least in part on the first and second user indicia of interest and the first user data, the computing device is further programmed to generate output that the first user recommend the media content item to the second user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device associated with a first user, one or more first keywords of interest for a media content item;
- identifying a second user, for the first user to recommend the media content item to, based on a correlation value indicating a degree of association between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and one more second keywords of interest of the second user;
- in response to the correlation value being above a threshold, establishing a communication link between the first user device and a second user device associated with the second user;
- monitoring a communication between the first user and the second user correlating to the media content item;
- determining a feedback score of the second user for the media content item based on monitoring facial expressions of the second user during the communication correlating to the media content item;
- and
- updating the correlation value between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and the one more second keywords of interest of the second user based on the feedback score of the second user for the media content item.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device associated with a first user, one or more first keywords of interest for a media content item;
- identifying a second user, for the first user to recommend the media content item to, based on a correlation value indicating a degree of association between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and one more second keywords of interest of the second user;
- in response to the correlation value being above a threshold, establishing a communication link between the first user device and a second user device associated with the second user;
- monitoring a communication between the first user and the second user correlating to the media content item;
- determining a feedback score of the second user for the media content item based on monitoring facial expressions of the second user during the communication correlating to the media content item;
- and
- updating the correlation value between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and the one more second keywords of interest of the second user based on the feedback score of the second user for the media content item.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a process comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device associated with a first user, one or more first keywords of interest for a media content item;
- identifying a second user, for the first user to recommend the media content item to, based on a correlation value indicating a degree of association between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and one more second keywords of interest of the second user;
- in response to the correlation value being above a threshold, establishing a communication link between the first user device and a second user device associated with the second user;
- monitoring a communication between the first user and the second user correlating to the media content item;
- determining a feedback score of the second user for the media content item based on monitoring facial expressions of the second user during the communication correlating to the media content item;
- and
- updating the correlation value between the one or more first keywords of interest of the first user and the one more second keywords of interest of the second user based on the feedback score of the second user for the media content item.
