Abstract
According to an aspect, a method includes receiving, by a computing device, an indication to obtain a picture of a viewing audience of the computing device. A method may receive, by the computing device, the picture of the viewing audience that includes individuals. A method may scan the picture to identify attributes of the individuals included in the viewing audience. A method may create a watch clique that includes the individuals. A method may associate the attributes with the watch clique. A method may determine media content recommendations for viewing by the viewing audience based on the attributes of the watch clique.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by an application executing on a computing device, a picture of a viewing audience of the computing device that includes individuals;
- based on determining that the individuals in the picture are not included in a previously created watch clique, creating a new watch clique that includes the individuals, the creating comprising:
- associating attributes of the individuals with the new watch clique;
- and
- naming the new watch clique;
- determining media content recommendations for viewing by the viewing audience based on the attributes of the new watch clique;
- displaying the media content recommendations and a first icon representative of the new watch clique in a first user interface of the application;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of the first icon, enabling management of the new watch clique.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a computing device cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, by an application executing on the computing device, a picture of a viewing audience of the computing device that includes individuals;
- based on determining that the individuals in the picture are not included in a previously created watch clique, creating a new watch clique that includes the individuals, the creating comprising:
- associating attributes of the individuals with the new watch clique;
- and
- naming the new watch clique;
- determining media content recommendations for viewing by the viewing audience based on the attributes of the new watch clique;
- displaying the media content recommendations and a first icon representative of the new watch clique in a first user interface of the application;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of the first icon, enabling management of the new watch clique.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to:
- receive, by an application executing on a computing device, a picture of a viewing audience of the computing device that includes individuals;
- based on determining that the individuals in the picture are not included in a previously created watch clique, create a new watch clique that includes the individuals, the creating comprising:
- associating attributes of the individuals with the new watch clique;
- and
- naming the new watch clique;
- determine media content recommendations for viewing by the viewing audience based on the attributes of the new watch clique;
- display the media content recommendations and a first icon representative of the new watch clique in a first user interface of the application;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of the first icon, enable management of the new watch clique.
