    Abstract: A recommendation system comprises a plurality of recommendation engines (101-107) which are coupled together by a data communication coupling (109). Each of the recommendation engines (101-107) comprises a user profile (203) for a first user, a prediction processor (201) for generating recommendations for the first user in response to the user profile and an interface (209) for exchanging recommendation event messages, such as a request for a recommendation and a reply thereto, with other recommendation engines on the data communication coupling. At least one of the user profile and prediction algorithm of at least some recommendation engines (101-107) are different. A recommendation processor (205) generates a recommendation in response to a received recommendation event message and a recommendation indication from the prediction means. The invention may provide improved recommendation by interworking of independent recommendation engines (101-107).

    Abstract translation: 推荐系统包括通过数据通信耦合(109)耦合在一起的多个推荐引擎(101-107)。 每个推荐引擎(101-107)包括用于第一用户的用户简档(203),用于响应于用户简档生成对第一用户的推荐的预测处理器(201)以及用于交换推荐的界面(209) 事件消息,诸如对推荐和对其的回复的请求,以及与数据通信耦合上的其他推荐引擎。 至少一些推荐引擎(101-107)的用户简档和预测算法中的至少一个是不同的。 推荐处理器(205)响应于接收到的推荐事件消息和来自预测装置的推荐指示而生成推荐。 本发明可以通过独立推荐引擎的互通提供改进的推荐(101-107)。

    Abstract: A plurality of personalisation servers (120) comprise a receiver (301, 303) for receiving application non-specific psychological profile data for a user from any remote device (103) out of a plurality of remote devices (103). A rule processor (307) provides a set of application specific rules relating psychological profile data values to user preferences for a user application where the application specific rules are associated with a first application. A preference processor (305) generates a user preference for the user in response to the psychological profile data and the application specific rules, and an application processor (309) adapts the operation of the first application in response to the user preference. A transmitter then transmits the application output data to the remote device (103). Each of the remote devices (103) comprises functionality for transmitting psychological profile data to any personalisation device (101) out of the personalisation devices (101).

    Abstract translation: 多个个性化服务器(120)包括用于从多个远程设备(103)中的任何远程设备(103)接收用户的应用非特定心理简档数据的接收器(301,303)。 规则处理器(307)提供一组应用专用规则,其将心理简档数据值与用户应用程序的用户偏好相关联,其中应用程序特定规则与第一应用程序相关联。 偏好处理器(305)响应于心理简档数据和应用程序特定规则生成用户的用户偏好,并且应用处理器(309)响应于用户偏好来调整第一应用的操作。 然后,发射机将应用输出数据发送到远程设备(103)。 每个远程设备(103)包括用于将心理简档数据发送到个性化设备(101)中的任何个性化设备(101)的功能。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing media planners for planning a user's media content viewing activities are provided. The media planner may include an interactive grid of content with scheduled viewing, recording, or reminders set within a user-selectable time window. The media planner may prioritize content within the planner grid and automatically resolve conflicts when the number of available tuners within the user equipment device has been exceeded. Programs matching a user's viewing interests may also be automatically recorded in the user's absence. Coming-soon announcements may be received for programming outside the current program schedule window. Conditional media guidance application functions may be scheduled based on preliminary availability and attribute data associated with a coming-soon asset.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing previews, such as song and video previews, to a portable media player are provided. In general, a play history for the portable media player is generated as media files are played by the portable media player and provided to a central system hosting an e- commerce service providing media content. The play history is provided to a central system either indirectly through an associated user system or directly through a network. Based on the play history, the central system selects a number of previews for the portable media player. The previews are provided to the portable media player either indirectly through the associated user system or directly through the network. The previews may then be played on the portable media player and, if desired, selected for purchase.

    Abstract: A technique for controlling a download (110) of an electronic service guide (ESG) for media content distribution services to a user device (102) is proposed. First, a user behaviour related to the user device is monitored. Second, a ranking of fragments of the electronic service guide to be downloaded interactively onto the user device is determined, based on the monitoring. The download of one or more of the fragments to the user device is then initiated based on the ranking. This technique is particularly useful when a transmission capacity available for downloading fragments of the ESG is limited.
