摘要:
It is presented a data collector arranged to collect data regarding application usage in an end user device. The data collector is arranged to be located in a mobile communication network between the end user device and a server. The data collector comprises: a processor; and a computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the data collector to: obtain data sent between the end user device and the server; match the data against a list of patterns; and when a matching pattern is found in the list of patterns, store application activity associated with the matching pattern in a database for application usage.
摘要:
A method and arrangement for creation of a customized recommendation of items in a user device (200) in communication with a recommendation system (202). The recommendation system obtains (2:2a) ratings of items for a public recommendation based on public user data (202a) and obtains (2:2b) attribute-related weight information for said items with item-specific weight values for a plurality of attributes pertaining to user characteristics. The ratings of items in the public recommendation and the weight information are sent (2:3) to the user device which then modifies (2:4, 2:4a) the public recommendation into a customized recommendation by selecting attributes valid for a current user based on said private user data, and applying the weight values of the selected attributes only to the received ratings of items. The non-valid attributes are thus disregarded. Thereby, new item ratings are obtained which have been adapted to the characteristics of this particular user.
摘要:
A method for operating a system to provide temporal context for recommending items for consumption by a user device is described. The method comprises maintaining a record of items consumed by the user device or a group of devices within a reference period, together with the time of consumption of each item, and a content descriptor associated with each item. Temporal consumption periods are identified within the reference period, each consumption period spanning the consumption of one or more items with similar content descriptors, and each consumption period is associated with its respective content descriptor. An aggregated list is created of consumption periods recorded over a plurality of reference periods. Clusters of similar consumption periods are identified in the aggregated list, and recurring temporal patterns for user device behavior are identified in each cluster. A profile is created for each user device based on the clusters and the recurring temporal patterns for each cluster, and this profile is used to provide the temporal context at the user device.
