Recommending media content based on the trajectory of the user
First Claim
1. A method for providing content recommendations based on user trajectories, the method comprising:
- determining, by control circuitry, that a threshold period of time has elapsed since an input of a user was last received at a first device outputting a first media asset;
in response to determining that the threshold period of time has elapsed since the input of the user was last received at the first device outputting the first media asset, determining, by the control circuitry, a trajectory of the user;
identifying, by the control circuitry, a second device corresponding to the trajectory;
determining, by the control circuitry, a plurality of media assets available to the user on the second device;
determining, by the control circuitry, a characteristic of the first media asset; and
recommending, by the control circuitry, a second media asset from the plurality of media assets available to the user on the second device based on the characteristic.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application that recommends media content to a user based on the media content likely to be available to a user at a given location or on a given device. The media guidance application may also automatically determine the given location or given device based on a current trajectory of the user, and recommend a media asset from the media content available at that location or on that device. Moreover, in order to recommend content having the greatest interest to a user at a particular time, the media guidance application bases the recommendations it is providing on content recently consumed by the user on a first device.

10. A system for providing content recommendations based on user trajectories, the system comprising:
-
storage circuitry configured to store a plurality of media assets available to a user on a second device; and control circuitry configured to; determine that a threshold period of time has elapsed since an input of the user was last received at a first device outputting a first media asset; in response to determining that the threshold period of time has elapsed since the input of the user was last received at the first device outputting the first media asset, determine a trajectory of the user; identify the second device corresponding to the trajectory; determine the plurality of media assets available to the user on the second device; determine a characteristic of the first media asset; and recommend a second media asset from the plurality of media assets available to the user on the second device based on the characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
