Abstract
Techniques of providing an interactive programming guide with a personalized lineup are disclosed. In some embodiments, a profile is accessed, and a personalized lineup is determined based on the profile. The personalized lineup may include a corresponding media content identification assigned to each one of a plurality of sequential time slots, where each media content identification identifies media content for the corresponding time slot. A first interactive programming guide may be caused to be displayed on a first media content device associated with the profile, where the first interactive programming guide includes the personalized lineup.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a machine-readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- displaying an interactive programming guide to be displayed on a media content device, the interactive programming guide including a personalized lineup, the personalized lineup including a corresponding media content identification assigned to each one of a plurality of sequential time slots, each media content identification identifying media content for a corresponding time slot;
- in response to a first selection of a first one of the time slots of the personalized lineup, displaying a plurality of media content options to be displayed on the media content device while maintaining the display of the personalized lineup, the plurality of media content options determined by:
- determining relevance measurements for the plurality of media content options based on a profile;
- ranking the relevance measurements;
- and
- determining a presentation order of the plurality of media content options based on the ranking;
- and
- in response to a second selection of a first one of the plurality of media content options, modifying the first one of the time slots of the personalized lineup to assign a media content identification corresponding to a category of the first one of the plurality of media content options to the first one of the time slots.
