Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitated generating a broadcast schedule of content based on user feedback. Users can provide feedback such as ratings, interest (e.g., like or dislike), comments, reviews, critiques and so on regarding content available on a media distribution system. The feedback can be utilized to determine a schedule or order of content that is delivered via a broadcast mechanism. In addition, users can supply contemporaneous feedback during broadcast. Contemporaneous feedback can be employed to enable dynamic adjustment and/or reconfigurations of the broadcast schedule.
Claims42
A method that facilitates automatic content scheduling, comprising:
- obtaining feedback from at least one user, the feedback relates to one or more content available for broadcast;
- generating a broadcast schedule of content based at least in part on the obtained feedback;
- and
- delivering content in accordance with the generated schedule.
An apparatus that facilitates content schedule generation, comprising:
- a memory that retains instructions related to obtaining feedback from at least one user such that the feedback relates to one or more content available for broadcast, generating a broadcast schedule of content based at least in part on the obtained feedback and delivering content in accordance with the generated schedule;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions retained in the memory.
An apparatus that facilitates automatic generation of content broadcast schedules, comprising:
- means for obtaining feedback from at least one user, the feedback relates to one or more content available for broadcast;
- means for generating a broadcast schedule of content based at least in part on the obtained feedback;
- and
- means for delivering content in accordance with the generated schedule.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium comprising:
- code for causing a computer to obtain feedback from at least one user, the feedback relates to one or more content available for broadcast;
- code for causing the computer to generate a broadcast schedule of content based at least in part on the obtained feedback;
- and
- code for causing the computer to deliver content in accordance with the generated schedule.
At least one processor configured to:
- obtain feedback from at least one user, the feedback relates to one or more content available for broadcast;
- generate a broadcast schedule of content based at least in part on the obtained feedback;
- and
- deliver content in accordance with the generated schedule.
A method that facilitates influence on a broadcast schedule, comprising:
- obtaining a list of content available for broadcast by a distributor;
- supplying feedback related to individual content items included on the list of content;
- and
- receiving a broadcast stream of content according to a schedule determined based upon the supplied feedback.
An apparatus that facilitates content scheduling, comprising:
- a user interface that presents a list of content available for broadcast by a distributor, the user interface further collects feedback from at least one user;
- a feedback provider that transmits the collected feedback to the distributor;
- and
- a broadcast receiver that receives a broadcasted stream of content delivered in accordance with a schedule generated based upon the transmitted feedback.
An apparatus that facilitates content scheduling, comprising:
- means for obtaining a list of content available for broadcast by a distributor;
- means for supplying feedback related to individual content items included on the list of content;
- and
- means for receiving a broadcast stream of content according to a schedule determined based upon the supplied feedback.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium comprising:
- code for causing a computer to obtain list of content available for broadcast by a distributor;
- code for causing the computer to supply feedback related to individual content items included on the list of content;
- and
- code for causing the computer to receive a broadcast stream of content according to a schedule determined based upon the supplied feedback.
At least one processor configured to facilitate content scheduling, comprising:
- a first module for obtaining a list of content available for broadcast by a distributor;
- a second module for supplying feedback related to individual content items included on the list of content;
- and
- a third module for receiving a broadcast stream of content according to a schedule determined based upon the supplied feedback.
