    摘要: Systems and methods for integrating graphic animation technologies with fantasy sports contest applications are provided. This invention enables a fantasy sports contest application to depict plays in various sporting events using graphic animation. The fantasy sports contest application may combine graphical representation of real-life elements such as, for example, player facial features, with default elements such as, for example, a generic player body, to create realistic graphic video. The fantasy sports contest application may provide links to animated videos for depicting plays on contest screens in which information associated with the plays may be displayed. The fantasy sports contest application may play the animated video for a user in response to the user selecting such a link. In some embodiment of the present invention, the fantasy sports contest application may also customize animated video based on user-supplied setup information. For example, the fantasy sports contest application may provide play information and other related data to allow a user to generate animated videos using the user's own graphics processing equipment and graphics animation program.

    摘要: A recommendation system for optimizing content recommendation lists is disclosed. The system dynamically tracks a list interaction history of a user, which details that user's interactions with a plurality of different lists presenting different recommended items to that user. The system automatically correlates one or more list preferences with that user based on the list interaction history, and builds a recommendation list with a plurality of candidate items having different recommendation confidences. The recommendation list is built such that each candidate item with a higher recommendation confidence is prioritized over each candidate item with a lower recommendation confidence according to the one or more list preferences correlated to that user.
