Aspects described herein describe providing content recommendations such as, for example, recommendations for video content. A content recommendation may be based on when content was previously consumed.

Systems and methods are provided herein for determining types of references within a content item and mapping them to particular applications. A content management application identifies an entity and a context of the entity at a location within the content item. The content management application may identify the entity and the context of the entity in real time as a first user device processes the content item, or the content management application may identify and store the entity and the context of the entity in a database before providing the content item. After determining a presence of a second user device associated with a profile, the content management application determines at least one application associated with the entity and the context of the entity on the second user device and launches the application to create an immersive content consumption experience.

Items of video content offered for viewing on a video-on-demand (VOD) platform of a digital TV service provider are each assigned a respective title and hierarchical address corresponding to hierarchically-arranged categories and subcategories within which the title for the video content is to be categorized. The title is listed in a location of an electronic program guide (EPG) using the same categories and subcategories as its hierarchical address. Any TV subscriber can access the EPG and navigate through its categories and subcategories to find a title for viewing on the TV. The EPG dynamically adjust its display listings of each level of categories, subcategories, and titles in order to minimize the number of remote control keypresses needed for a viewer to navigate to a title of interest. In one basic form, the EPG display is reordered by listing more frequently visited categories or subcategories first, and other less frequently visited categories or subcategories lower on the listing or out-of-sight on another page of the display.

Systems and methods are provided herein for providing recommendations to a user. A short-media viewing profile may be maintained for the user. The short-media viewing profile may be based on user's behavior while watching short-length media content. A long-media viewing profile may be maintained for the user. The long-media viewing profile may be based on user's behavior while watching long-length media content. In response to determining that the user is currently engaged in viewing short-length media content, a recommendation is provided to the user based on the short-media viewing profile. In response to determining that the user is currently engaged in viewing long-length media content, a recommendation is provided to the user based on the long-media viewing profile.

Provided are a method for pushing anchor information, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method for pushing the anchor information includes: recalling an anchor user; determining an anchor type of the anchor user by using a live streaming history and a live streaming efficiency as classification dimensions; calculating an interaction score of the anchor user, wherein the interaction score represents a feature of a viewer user viewing a live streaming room of the anchor user; calculating a comprehensive score of the anchor user based on the interaction score and the anchor type; and pushing anchor information of the anchor user to the viewer user based on the comprehensive score.

A display system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a content DB server, and a display apparatus comprising: a control unit that acquires information associated with content which has been received from the content DB server, and a display for displaying the acquired information associated with the content, wherein the control unit may display, on the display, the information associated with the content, according to a request regardless of whether or not the content is broadcast.

Methods and systems are proposed herein to address the inefficiencies in the recommendation schemes available. More specifically, the embodiments disclosed herein provide a new recommendation scheme, whereby a user enters various criteria for what he/she would like to be recommended. For example, the system may receive a user preference for content recommendations from a user. The system may retrieve a user profile for the user. The system may compare the user preference to the user profile to determine a criterion for content recommendations for the user. The system may receive a content attribute for content provided by a content provider. The system may match the criterion to the content attribute. The system may, in response to matching the criterion to the content attribute, generate for display a recommendation to the user for the content.

Systems and methods are described for modifying the content of a media content item. A a media content item is displayed on user equipment. A user reaction to one or more portions of the media content item is determined. The content of the media content item is modified based on the user reaction to one or more portions of the media content item.

Systems and methods for generating a content item based on a difference between a user confidence score and a confidence score are disclosed. For example, a system generates for output a first content item. While the first content item is being outputted, the system receives user data via sensors of a device. The system determines a user confidence score based on the user data and metadata of the first content item. The user confidence score indicates a user's perceived probability of an event occurring in the future. The system calculates a prediction score which estimates the likelihood of the event occurring in the future. In response to determining that the difference between the user confidence score and the prediction score exceeds a threshold, the system selects a second content item related to the event and generates for output a recommendation comprising an identifier of the second content item.

Provided is a method for assisting video content viewing, the method being performed by processing circuitry of a user terminal, and the method including displaying a playback screen of first video content on a display of the user terminal, the first video content being played on the playback screen, generating a graphic object configured to enable playback of similar content associated with a first playback time of the first video content, and displaying the graphic object on the display together with the playback screen of the first video content.
