Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for presenting suggestions of media content are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: determining an item of media content; determining a probability of the item of media content being watched at one or more times based on at least one of: a characteristic of a person; a characteristic of a group; and a characteristic of the item of media content; creating a user interface which suggests that the item of media content be watched at one or more times based on the determined probability; and presenting the user interface.
Claims18
A method for presenting suggestions of media content, comprising:
- identifying a media content item having a plurality of defined presentation start times;
- determining, using a communication network, a current location of a user device and that the current location is not a location associated with a probability of the user of the user device watching the media content item;
- determining, using a hardware processor, probabilities of the media content item being watched at each of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the current location and a preferred view time of the user of the user device;
- selecting one of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the determined probabilities;
- determining a time at which a user interface that suggests that the media content item be watched at the one of the plurality of defined presentation start times is to be scheduled for presentation;
- and
- causing the user interface to be presented at the determined time on the user device.
A system for presenting suggestions of media content, the system comprising;
- a hardware processor that is programmed to:
- identify a media content item having a plurality of defined presentation start times;
- determine, using a communication network, a current location of a user device and that the current location is not a location associated with a probability of the user of the user device watching the media content item;
- determine probabilities of the media content item being watched at each of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the current location and a preferred view time of the user of the user device;
- select one of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the determined probabilities;
- determine a time at which a user interface that suggests that the media content item be watched at the one of the plurality of defined presentation start times is to be scheduled for presentation;
- and
- cause the user interface to be presented at the determined time on 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 presenting suggestions of media content, the method comprising:
- identifying a media content item having a plurality of defined presentation start times;
- determining, using a communication network, a current location of a user device and that the current location is not a location associated with a probability of the user of the user device watching the media content item;
- determining probabilities of the media content item being watched at each of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the current location and a preferred view time of the user of the user device;
- selecting one of the plurality of defined presentation start times based on the determined probabilities;
- determining a time at which a user interface that suggests that the media content item be watched at the one of the plurality of defined presentation start times is to be scheduled for presentation;
- and
- causing the user interface to be presented at the determined time on the user device.
