Abstract
Methods and systems are described for providing optimal representations of content. A user interface may present content based on one or more images representing the content. User interactions associated with the content may be tracked based on which of the one or more images was used to represent the content. Statistical information may be tracked to determine which groups of users respond to particular images used to represent content. The statistical information may be used to select which images are used to represent the content for additional users.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- transmitting, to a user interface associated with a first user, a first image of a plurality of images associated with a content asset, wherein the first image is a representation of the content asset;
- receiving an indication of a user interaction with the user interface, wherein the user interaction is indicative of a first type of response of the first user to the first image;
- updating, based on the indication of the user interaction and a characteristic group associated with the first user, statistical information associated with the content asset, wherein the statistical information comprises a first metric associated with the first type of response and a second metric associated with a second type of response, and wherein the first metric is updated based on the indication of the user interaction, and wherein the characteristic group is determined for the updating the statistical information based on a content attribute associated with the content asset;
- and
- transmitting, based on the statistical information, the first image to represent the content asset in the user interface for a second user, wherein the second user is associated with the characteristic group.
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a user interface associated with a first user, a request for interface data;
- determining, based on the request, a content asset to represent via the user interface;
- determining, based on a content attribute associated with the content asset, a characteristic group associated with the first user;
- determining statistical information associated with the content asset and the characteristic group, wherein the statistical information indicates responses of users associated with the characteristic group to a plurality of images used to represent the content asset, wherein the plurality of images comprises a first image, wherein the statistical information comprises a first metric associated with a first type of response and a second metric associated with a second type of response;
- and
- transmitting, based on the statistical information, the first image to represent the content asset in the user interface for the first user.

A method comprising:
- transmitting, to a user interface associated with a first user, data indicative of a first representation of a content asset;
- receiving, based on the first representation, a request for the content asset;
- determining, based on the request and a content attribute associated with the content asset, a characteristic group and a first type of response, wherein the first type of response is determined from at least the first type of response and a second type of response;
- updating first data indicative of the first type of response and an association of the first representation with the characteristic group;
- and
- transmitting, to a user interface associated with a second user and based on the first data, data indicative of the first representation of the content asset.
