Abstract
A system may receive an entity identifier for a user. The entity identifier may identify an entity that is associated with a category. The system may identify channel(s) for the category by obtaining data for the user, and analyzing the data to determine a score for each channel. The system may use the scores to select one or more of the channels. The system may provide content related to the selected channel(s) to a client device of the user, and the user may interact with the content via the client device.
Claims15
A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- accessing data, the data generated as a result of one or more interactions of a user with one or more client devices, and the data indicating that a particular song, by a particular musical artist, is of interest to the user;
- identifying a plurality of candidate streaming channels;
- selecting a subset of the candidate streaming channels based on corresponding information, for each of the candidate streaming channels, that is specific to both the candidate streaming channel and to the particular song indicated by the data;
- generating interactive content that identifies the particular song, and that presents only the candidate streaming channels of the subset, wherein each of the candidate streaming channels of the subset can be interacted with to initiate playback of the particular song via the candidate streaming channel;
- providing the interactive content for presentation to the user via a given client device of the user;
- receiving an interaction with the interactive content, the interaction being via a user interface device of the given client device and being directed to a particular streaming channel of the candidate streaming channels;
- and
- in response to the interaction, initiating streaming of the particular song via the particular streaming channel.

A system, comprising:
- memory storing instructions;
- one or more processors executing the instructions stored in the memory to:
- access data, the data generated as a result of one or more interactions of a user with one or more client devices, and the data indicating that a particular album, by a particular musical artist, is of interest to the user;
- identify a plurality of candidate streaming channels;
- select a subset of the candidate streaming channels based on corresponding information, for each of the candidate streaming channels, that is specific to both the candidate streaming channel and to the particular album indicated by the data;
- generate interactive content that identifies the particular album, and that presents only the candidate streaming channels of the subset, wherein each of the candidate streaming channels of the subset can be interacted with to initiate playback of the particular album via the candidate streaming channel;
- provide the interactive content for presentation to the user via a given client device of the user;
- receive an interaction with the interactive content, the interaction being via a user interface device of the given client device and being directed to a particular streaming channel of the candidate streaming channels;
- and
- in response to the interaction, initiate streaming of the particular album via the particular streaming channel.

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- access data, the data generated as a result of one or more interactions of a user with one or more client devices, and the data indicating that a particular song, by a particular musical artist, is of interest to the user;
- identify a plurality of candidate streaming channels;
- select a subset of the candidate streaming channels based on corresponding information, for each of the candidate streaming channels, that is specific to both the candidate streaming channel and to the particular song indicated by the data;
- generate interactive content that identifies the particular song, and that presents only the candidate streaming channels of the subset, wherein each of the candidate streaming channels of the subset can be interacted with to initiate playback of the particular song via the candidate streaming channel;
- provide the interactive content for presentation to the user via a given client device of the user;
- receive an interaction with the interactive content, the interaction being via a user interface device of the given client device and being directed to a particular streaming channel of the candidate streaming channels;
- and in response to the interaction, initiate streaming of the particular song via the particular streaming channel.
