    摘要: A distributed content item recommendation system comprises a central recommendation server (101) and a plurality of remote recommendation devices (103) coupled to the central recommendation server (101) via a communication network (105). The central recommendation server (101) stores content item set correlation data for sets of content items. The correlation data is used for item based collaborative filtering in recommendation processors (303) of the recommendation devices (103). A computation task processor (207) maintains a task list of content item correlation computation tasks which can be independently executed to generate content item set correlation data. A task assignment processor (209) can assign the computation tasks to remote recommendation devices (103) which comprise a processing unit (307) that calculates the associated correlation data and returns it to the recommendation server (101). The distributed recommendation system thus uses distributed computation of centrally stored correlation data thereby substantially reducing the cost and complexity of the recommendation server and/or improves the recommendations.

    摘要: A method for providing individualized recommendations to a user on a multi-user device is provided. During operation anonymous user preferences of similar program content will be grouped to form clusters of similar preferences. Context information for each cluster is determined and the clusters are grouped to form larger clusters. The grouping is based on the context information for each cluster. A current context is then determined and at least one larger cluster is found that has a similar context as the current context. The larger cluster is used to make a recommendation for the user.

    摘要: An apparatus for content item recommendation, such as a Digital Video Recorder, comprises a grouping unit (105) for grouping user ratings for content items into rating groups in response to a content item match criterion. A receiver (109) receives content item data for a plurality of content items and a first recommendation unit (107) generating a first set of content item recommendations. An association unit (111) then determines an associated rating group of the rating groups for each content item recommendation of the first set and a second recommendation unit (113) generates a second set of content item recommendations from the first set in response to a rating group distribution measure for the second set. The invention may allow improved recommendation of content items which is aligned with user preferences yet provide a desired diversity of the provided recommendation. The invention may in particular provide improved performance for multi-user devices.

    摘要: A method of generating a user profile initially comprises receiving (201, 203) characterising data, and optionally user preferences, for content items. The characterising data describes characteristics, such as content or context characteristics, of each content item. The content items are then clustered (205) into content item clusters in response to characterising data associated with each content item. For each content item cluster, cluster characterising data is determined (207) in response to characterising data and possibly user preferences associated with each content item in the content item cluster. First characterising data is then received (209) for a first content item and a first content item cluster is selected (211) in response to a comparison of the first characterising data and the cluster characterising data of each content item cluster. A user profile is then generated (211) for the first content item in response to first cluster characterising data of the first content item cluster.

    摘要: An apparatus (101) for a data communication system comprises a user group processor (207) which generates a user group for a first user. A set of content topics is determined and stored in a topic set storage (211). A communication processor (201) monitors a data communication of the user group and a content topic processor (205) determines the current content topic of the data communication by content data extraction. A notification processor (209) compares the current topic and the set of content topics and generates a notification signal in response to this comparison. The notification processor (209) may for example alert a user to a change of content topics for a trusted community defined by the user group.

    摘要: A content presentation apparatus comprises a receiver receiving content items, such as individual adverts. A filter processor filters the content items in response to a user profile thereby generating a subset of content items associated with the user. The subset of content items may e.g. be stored in a data storage. The content presentation apparatus furthermore comprises a receiver receiving a presentation content stream. The presentation content stream may e.g. be a television signal received from a conventional television broadcast transmitter. An output processor presents the presentation content stream to the user. A user context processor determines a current user context for the presentation and a selection processor selects at least one content item from the subset of content items in response to the current user context. The output processor then overlays the selected content item(s) on the presentation content stream to generate a user adapted output.

    摘要: Access rights to content items, such as personal photos etc, is determined in response to content metadata and requester metadata. A plurality of content items is stored in a content item store. An access right processor determines content metadata for the plurality of content items. When a request for a content item is determined, the access right processor determines requester metadata for the request. The requester metadata comprises data of a characteristic of a requester of the request. The access right processor then determines access rights in response to the content metadata and the requester metadata. If a positive access right is determined, the requested content item may be sent to the requester. The access right may further be determined in response to past usage data or context data for the content items. The invention may allow an improved and automated access right management.
