Abstract
A method for identifying a media item is provided. A method includes identifying a list of previously activated media items based on a plurality of sources of media activation history for a user. Each previously activated media item may have a plurality of attributes. Next, a discovery media item may be identified based on the list of previously activated media items and the discovery media item may not be included in the list of previously activated media items. Additionally, an indication of the discovery media item may be presented to the user.
Claims26
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, a list of previously activated media items based on a plurality of sources of media activation history for a user, each previously activated media item having a plurality of attributes, and wherein at least one of the plurality of sources of media activation history for the user is a social media input of the user associated with a previously activated media item;
- and
- identifying, by a processor, a discovery media item based on the list of previously activated media items, wherein the discovery media item is not included in the list of previously activated media items, and wherein identifying the discovery media item comprises:
- generating a list of a plurality of discovery media items based on a first set of one or more attributes in common with at least one of the previously activated media items;
- and
- selecting at least one discovery media item from the list based on the at least one discovery media item having a second set of at least one or more attributes that are different then the first set of one or more attributes in common with at least one of the previously activated media items.

A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify a list of previously activated media items based on a plurality of sources of media activation history for a user, each previously activated media item having a plurality of attributes, and wherein at least one of the plurality of sources of media activation history for the user is a social media input of the user associated with a previously activated media item;
- and
- identify a discovery media item based on the list of previously activated media items, wherein the discovery media item is not included in the list of previously activated media items, and wherein, the processor is configured to:
- identify the discovery media item by generating a list of a plurality of discovery media items based on a first set of one or more attributes in common with at least one of the previously activated media items;
- and
- select at least one discovery media item from the list based on the at least one discovery media item having a second set of at least one or more attributes that are different then the first set of one or more attributes in common with at least one of the previously activated media items.
