    摘要: A method includes identifying at least one program viewing sequence. The at least one program viewing sequence includes a plurality of programs. The method may include identifying a subsequence in the at least one program viewing sequence. The subsequence includes a subset of the plurality of programs in the at least one program viewing sequence and the subset of the plurality of programs is arranged in an identified order. The method may further include determining a user profile based on the subsequence. The method may include receiving a current viewing indicator. In addition, the method may include determining whether the current viewing indicator indicates the subsequence. The method may also include providing a content recommendation based on the user profile for the subsequence in response to a determination that the current viewing indicator indicates the subsequence.

    摘要: A method performed by one or more computing devices includes determining a relevancy function of viewer tendencies based on set-top box data from a subscription television service and defining a cluster of set-top boxes based on the relevancy function. The method also includes building a tendency profile for the cluster, the tendency profile including predicted actions for viewers within the cluster. The method further includes assigning the set-top box to the cluster and directing a cluster-oriented presentation to a particular set-top box within the cluster.
