Abstract
A media guidance application may determine user recovery times to real-life events. For example, the media guidance application may track the length of time that a particular user takes to recover from various real-life events.
Claims21
A method for determining user recovery times to real-life events, the method comprising:
- retrieving first social media data indicative of a current real-life event of a user;
- parsing the first social media data to identify a keyword corresponding to the current real-life event;
- inputting the keyword into a database listing event types associated with keywords corresponding to current real-life events;
- identifying an event type corresponding to the keyword from the database listing event types associated with keywords corresponding to current real-life events based on a comparison of the keyword to the keywords corresponding to current real-life events;
- receiving a user request for a media asset;
- inputting the media asset into a database listing event types corresponding to the media asset;
- identifying the media asset corresponds to the event type based on a comparison of the event type to the event types corresponding to the media asset;
- calculating a time period between the current real-life event and the receipt of the user request;
- and
- updating a user profile of the user to indicate the time period corresponds to a recovery period for the type of event.

- parse the first social media data to identify a keyword corresponding to the current real-life event;
- input the keyword into the database listing event types associated with keywords corresponding to current real-life events;
- identify an event type corresponding to the keyword from the database listing event types associated with keywords corresponding to current real-life events based on a comparison of the keyword to the keywords corresponding to current real-life events;
- receive a user request for a media asset;
- input the media asset into a database listing event types corresponding to the media asset;
- identify the media asset corresponds to the event type based on a comparison of the event type to the event types corresponding to the media asset;
- calculate a time period between the current real-life event and the receipt of the user request;
- and
- update a user profile of the user to indicate the time period corresponds to a recovery period for the type of event.
