Embodiment Construction

[0012] In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing system to automatically provide media recommendations to a user of a mobile computing device when the computing system determines that the user is in a location where the user is likely to be interested in the media recommendation. For example, some users may have one or more favorite content viewing locations. That is, some users may prefer to watch media content (eg, television, video on demand (VOD), etc.) while in a certain room or area of ​​their home, their office, favorite bar / restaurant, etc. At each content viewing location associated with the user, the user may view media content displayed on a display device (eg, television, projection screen, etc.). Thus, recommendations for content received while the user is currently in a content viewing location may prove particularly useful.

[0013] Some display devices may be configured to present "live TV" media content as part of a live TV broadcast pr...

Abstract

A computing system is described that determines, based on a location history, a content-viewing location associated with a user of a mobile computing device and identifies a media output device located at the content-viewing location. Responsive to determining that the mobile computing device is located at the content-viewing location and in proximity to the media output device at a current time, the computing system determines, based on a plurality of features of the media output device, various media recommendations for the user at the current time. The plurality of features include an indication of whether the media output device is operating in an on state at the current time. The computing system outputs, for transmission to the mobile computing device, an indication of the various media recommendations.

Description

Background technique [0001] Some media providers (such as television networks, video-on-demand (VOD) service providers, etc.) have developed ways to promote and entice potential viewers to use their services to watch media content (such as TV shows, VOD programming, etc.) . For example, a television network may send an email to a viewer's email account to remind potential viewers of a recommended upcoming TV series later in the week. Similarly, a VOD service provider may issue a monthly text message to a subscriber's text message account to remind the subscriber of recently added / recommended media content available for that month. [0002] A user may occasionally (e.g., upon receipt, during a lunch break, etc.) and not necessarily view emails, text messages, or other types of notifications related to media content at the time and / or location that the user is most interested in viewing the media content . Thus, even if tuned to a user's specific viewing preferences and / or di...
