Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following description focuses on embodiments of the invention that are applicable to recommending audiovisual content items and in particular to recommending audiovisual programs such as television programs, movies, and the like. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this application, but may be applicable to many other content items including, for example, pieces of music, radio programs, text documents, electronic books, and the like.

[0024] figure 1 An example of a recommender system according to some embodiments of the invention is illustrated. In this system, a user utilizes two different devices to consume audiovisual programming, including television programs, movies, documentaries, talk shows, and the like. First, a user utilizes a set-top box 101, which is a stationary device located in the user's home and permanently coupled to the user's home television. Furthermore, the user is able to access audiovisual content items v...

Abstract

A content item recommendation system comprises a recommender (203) which generates a set of recommendations for content items available through a first content item distribution system. A coordination processor (205) determines an availability characteristic for a set of content items available through a second content item distribution system of a set of content item distribution systems. The availability characteristic may indicate which content items are available to a user via the second content item distribution system. The modification processor (207) then modifies a recommendation characteristic for the set of recommendations in response to the availability characteristic for the set of content items. The approach may enable or facilitate coordination between different content item distribution systems while still allowing separate and independent operation of the content item distribution systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to content item recommendation, and particularly, but not exclusively, to the recommendation of content items such as television programs. Background technique [0002] The availability and supply of multimedia and entertainment content has increased significantly in recent years. For example, the number of available television and radio channels has increased dramatically, and the popularity of the Internet has provided new means of content distribution. Consequently, users are increasingly provided with a plethora of different types of content from different sources. In order to identify and select desired content, users typically must process large amounts of information, which can be very cumbersome and impractical. [0003] Accordingly, in research, considerable resources have been devoted to techniques and algorithms that can provide improved user experience and assist users in identifying and selecting content, pe...
