Embodiment Construction

[0012] Embodiments of the media asset recommendation service provide a user with a list of friends who have interacted with a particular media asset, such as a song or movie. The service layer receives social graph data and interaction data related to both the user's and the user's friends' interactions with the media asset. The media asset recommendation service may then generate friend interaction data including a list of the user's friends who have interacted with a particular media asset by aggregating the various media assets, social graph data, and interaction data. For example, a list of the user's friends who have interacted with a particular song may be generated based on interaction data indicating that the user's friends have played or downloaded the song. The user can then use their own personal understanding of their friends' taste in music to help decide whether to play or download the song.

[0013] In addition, friend interaction data may include each friend i...

Abstract

A media asset recommendation service is described. In embodiments, friends of a user are identified in a social graph that is associated with the user, and interactions with media assets by the friends of the user are compiled. Friend interaction data for each of the media assets can be determined from the media assets, the social graph, and the interactions with the media assets by the friends of the user. When a selection of one of the media assets is received from the user via a user device, the friend interaction data that is associated with the media asset selected by the user is communicated to the user device.

Description

Background technique [0001] Recommendations to listen to songs or watch movies from friends can be an effective way for individuals to discover new songs and movies. However, it is impossible for an individual to constantly receive recommendations from friends. For example, people may miss enjoying songs that their friends have already heard and liked, simply because they are not constantly discussing music with their friends. Similarly, an individual may want to watch a certain movie, but wish to know whether any of their friends have already watched and liked the movie. Knowing that a friend has watched and liked the movie can help the person make a decision to watch the movie. Alternatively, information that a friend has watched but disliked the movie may dissuade the individual from watching the movie. Contents of the invention [0002] This overview is provided to introduce a simplified concept of a media asset recommendation service. Simplifying concepts are furthe...
