Abstract
A system and method of generating a playlist includes searching an event database having multiple events stored therein. One of the events is identified as corresponding to a user's interest data. A song database is searched. The song database includes at least one song corresponding to the identified event. A playlist corresponding to the identified event is generated. The playlist includes a list of at least one song corresponding to the identified event and a logical link to a recording of the at least one song. Access to the playlist can then be provided to the user.
Claims21
A method for automatically generating playlists, the method comprising:
- determining, using a hardware processor, interest data associated with a user of a user device, wherein the interest data comprises location information;
- identifying, using the hardware processor, an event that is geographically proximate to the user of the user device from a plurality of events based on location information;
- identifying, using the hardware processor, a plurality of media content items corresponding to the identified event;
- generating, using the hardware processor, a playlist that includes logical links to at least a portion of the plurality of media content items;
- and
- providing, using the hardware processor, access to the playlist to the user device.
A system for automatically generating playlists, the system comprising:
- a hardware processor that is configured to:
- determine interest data associated with a user of a user device, wherein the interest data comprises location information;
- identify an event that is geographically proximate to the user of the user device from a plurality of events based on location information;
- identify a plurality of media content items corresponding to the identified event;
- generate a playlist that includes logical links to at least a portion of the plurality of media content items;
- and
- provide access to the playlist to the user device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for automatically generating playlists, the method comprising:
- determining interest data associated with a user of a user device, wherein the interest data comprises location information;
- identifying an event that is geographically proximate to the user of the user device from a plurality of events based on location information;
- identifying a plurality of media content items corresponding to the identified event;
- generating a playlist that includes logical links to at least a portion of the plurality of media content items;
- and
- providing access to the playlist to the user device.
