Claims20
A method of generating a playlist of media content items for a group of users, the method comprising:
- generating a list of candidate media content items selected from at least a media consumption history of a first user and a media consumption history of a second user;
- comparing a group taste profile with the candidate media content items in the list of candidate media content items;
- ranking the list of candidate media content items based on the comparison;
- and
- generating a playlist selected from the ranked list of candidate media content items, wherein:
- the playlist includes contributions of media content items from the first user and the second user;
- and
- the contribution of each user is no more than fifty percent of a total number of media content items in the playlist.
A system comprising non-transitory memory and at least one processing device in data communication with the memory, wherein the memory stores data instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
- generate a list of candidate media content items selected from at least a media consumption history of a first user and a media consumption history of a second user;
- compare a group taste profile with the candidate media content items in the list of candidate media content items;
- rank the list of candidate media content items based on the comparison;
- and
- generate a playlist selected from the ranked list of candidate media content items, wherein:
- the playlist includes contributions of media content items from the first user and the second user;
- and
- the contribution of each user is no more than fifty percent of a total number of media content items in the playlist.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing data instructions that, when executed by at least one processing device of a system, cause the system to:
- generate a list of candidate media content items selected from at least a media consumption history of a first user and a media consumption history of a second user;
- compare a group taste profile with the candidate media content items in the list of candidate media content items;
- rank the list of candidate media content items based on the comparison;
- and
- generate a playlist selected from the ranked list of candidate media content items, wherein:
- the playlist includes contributions of media content items from the first user and the second user;
- and
- the contribution of each user is no more than fifty percent of a total number of media content items in the playlist.
