System and method for generating dynamic playlists utilising device co-presence proximity

A method for generating dynamic playlists utilizing device co-presence proximity, the method being performed by an apparatus having at least one processor, and at least one memory including a computer program code, the method comprising:

• matching electronic devices to a first electronic device based on proximity, including matching:
• one or more second electronic devices that are co-present within a set proximity of the first electronic device;
• and
• at least one third electronic device that is outside the set proximity of the first electronic device but is co-present within the set proximity of at least one of the second electronic devices;
• for each respective device of the matched second electronic devices and the at least one third electronic device, identifying a corresponding user's music preferences by analyzing a listening history of the respective device;
• based on the users' music preferences, generating a dynamic playlist for the first electronic device, the one or more second electronic devices, and the at least one third electronic device;
• and
• providing, for playback, the dynamic playlist.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including a computer program code, the computer program comprising instructions for:
• matching electronic devices to a first electronic device based on proximity, including matching:
• one or more second electronic devices that are co-present within a set proximity of the first electronic device;
• and
• at least one third electronic device that is outside the set proximity of the first electronic device but is co-present within the set proximity of at least one of the second electronic devices;
• for each respective device of the matched second electronic devices and the at least one third electronic device, identifying a corresponding user's music preferences by analyzing a listening history of the respective device;
• based on the users' music preferences, generating a dynamic playlist for the first electronic device, the one or more second electronic devices, and the at least one third electronic device;
• and
• providing, for playback, the dynamic playlist.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program code that, when executed by an apparatus having at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform a set of operations including:

• matching electronic devices to a first electronic device based on proximity, including matching:
• one or more second electronic devices that are co-present within a set proximity of the first electronic device;
• and
• at least one third electronic device that is outside the set proximity of the first electronic device but is co-present within the set proximity of at least one of the second electronic devices;
• for each respective device of the matched second electronic devices and the at least one third electronic device, identifying a corresponding user's music preferences by analyzing a listening history of the respective device;
• based on the users' music preferences, generating a dynamic playlist for the first electronic device, the one or more second electronic devices, and the at least one third electronic device;
• and
• providing, for playback, the dynamic playlist.
