Abstract
A system and method for linking content files is disclosed. The system comprises a targeting module, a link generation module and a graphic user interface module (GUI module). The targeting module determines a target content file based at least in part on an uploaded content file. The target content file comprises a long form content file. The link generation module is communicatively coupled to the targeting module for generating a link to the target content file. The GUI module is communicatively coupled to the targeting module and to the link generation module for generating a web page. The web page includes a playable version of the uploaded content file and the link to the target content file.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- analyzing, by a processor, data that describes user activity for an uploaded content file to obtain a statistical pattern, the uploaded content file relating to a target content file and the data comprising social data that comprises comments for the uploaded content file;
- identifying, by the processor, the target content file related to the uploaded content file based on the analysis of the data comprising the comments and on the statistical pattern, wherein the target content file comprises one or more of a movie, a show, or a television program and the uploaded content file comprises user-generated video content;
- generating, by the processor, a link to the target content file in response to identifying the target content file related to the uploaded content file;
- and
- generating a new user interface document for the target content file, the new user interface document including a playable version of the uploaded content file and the link to the target content file.
A system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory;
- a processor of a computing device communicably coupled to the non-transitory memory, the processor to execute instructions to:
- analyze data that describes user activity for an uploaded content file to obtain a statistical pattern, the uploaded content file relating to a target content file and the data comprising social data that comprises comments for the uploaded content file;
- identify the target content file related to the uploaded content file based on the analysis of the data comprising the comments and on the statistical pattern, wherein the target content file comprises one or more of a movie, a show, or a television program and the uploaded content file comprises user-generated video content;
- generate a link to the target content file in response to identifying the target content file related to the uploaded content file;
- and
- generate a new user interface document for the target content file, the new user interface document including a playable version of the uploaded content file and the link to the target content file.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instruction that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- analyze data that describes user activity for an uploaded content file to obtain a statistical pattern, the uploaded content file relating to a target content file and the data comprising social data that comprises comments for the uploaded content file;
- identify the target content file related to the uploaded content file based on the analysis of the data comprising the comments and on the statistical pattern, wherein the target content file comprises one or more of a movie, a show, or a television program and the uploaded content file comprises user-generated video content;
- generate a link to the target content file in response to identifying the target content file related to the uploaded content file;
- and
- generate a new user interface document for the target content file, the new user interface document including a playable version of the uploaded content file and the link to the target content file.
