Abstract
A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for receiving a request of a user for media, retrieving a first metadata set relating to said media, comparing between: (a) a media usage profile of the user, which profile reflects knowledge of the user, and (b) the first metadata set relating to said media, to identify gaps in the knowledge of the user with respect to said media, and providing to the user information relating to said identified gaps.
Claims20
A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for:
- receiving a request of a user for media;
- retrieving a first metadata set relating to said media;
- comparing between (a) a media usage profile of the user, which profile reflects knowledge of the user, and (b) the first metadata set relating to said media, to identify gaps in the knowledge of the user with respect to said media;
- and
- providing to the user information relating to said identified gaps.
A system comprising:
- at least one server, the at least one server comprising at least one hardware processor configured to:
- i) receive a request for media from a user;
- ii) provide said request for media to a knowledge gap predictor, to receive information relating to gaps identified in knowledge of said user with respect to said media;
- iii) retrieve said media from a media database;
- and
- iv) provide to said user said media and said information.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one hardware processor to:
- receive a request of a user for media;
- retrieve a first metadata set relating to said media;
- compare between (a) a media usage profile of the user, which profile reflects knowledge of the user, and (b) the first metadata set relating to said media, to identify gaps in the knowledge of the user with respect to said media;
- and
- provide to the user information relating to said identified gaps.
