Feature recommendation for television viewing

A device comprising:

• a memory to store a plurality of instructions;
• and
• a processor to execute instructions in the memory to:
• access user device command data including a plurality of user device commands for controlling a user device associated with a television (TV), wherein the plurality of user device commands includes at least one selection of a feature of the TV or the user device and the feature comprises at least one of an application, an audio setting or a video setting for the TV or the user device;
• identify that at least one user selects a particular feature of the TV or the user device based on the user device command data;
• analyze the user device command data to determine a model pattern of user device commands that is correlated with the at least one user selecting the particular feature of the TV or the user device, wherein when analyzing the user device command data the processor is further to
• determine a prospective data set and a test data set from the plurality of user device commands,
• identify a prospective pattern of user device commands associated with a prospective selection of a feature of the TV or the user device in the prospective data set,
• identify a test pattern of user device commands associated with a test selection of a feature of the TV or the user device in the test data set, wherein the test pattern of user device commands substantially matches the prospective pattern of user device commands, and
• identify the prospective pattern of user device commands as the model pattern of user device commands in response to a determination that the prospective selection of the feature substantially matches the test selection of the feature of the TV or the user device;
• identify a current pattern of user device commands based on user device commands received within predefined parameters;
• determine whether the current pattern of user device commands substantially matches the model pattern of user device commands;
• and
• provide a feature recommendation based on the at least one user selecting the particular feature of the TV or the user device in response to a determination that the current pattern of user device commands substantially matches the model pattern of user device commands.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions to be executed by a processor, the instructions including one or more instructions, which when executed by the processor, for causing the processor to:

• access user device command data including a plurality of user device commands for controlling a user device, wherein the plurality of user device commands includes at least one selection of a feature of the user device and the feature comprises at least one of an application or setting for the user device and is not a channel change command;
• identify that at least one user selects a particular feature of the TV based on the TV command data;
• analyze the user device command data to determine a first pattern of user device commands that correlates with the at least one user selecting the particular feature of the user device, wherein when analyzing the user device command data the instructions further include
• determine a prospective data set and a test data set from the plurality of user device commands;
• identify a prospective pattern of user device commands associated with a prospective selection of a feature of the user device in the prospective data set;
• identify a test pattern of user device commands associated with a test selection of a feature of the user device in the test data set, wherein the test pattern of user device commands substantially matches the prospective pattern of user device commands;
• determine whether the prospective selection of the feature substantially matches the test selection of the feature of the user device;
• and
• identify the prospective pattern of user device commands as the first pattern of user device commands in response to a determination that the prospective selection of the feature substantially matches the test selection of the feature of the user device,
• identify a current pattern of user device commands based on user device commands received within predefined parameters;
• determine whether the current pattern of user device commands substantially matches the first pattern of user device commands;
• provide a feature recommendation based on the at least one user selecting the particular feature of the user device in response to a determination that the current pattern of user device commands substantially matches the first pattern of user device commands;
• receive at least one of an additional user device command or a selection of a feature of the user device;
• and
• update the plurality of user device commands based on the at least one of the additional user device command or the selection of the feature of the user device.
