Method and system for generating a recommendation for at least one further content item
First Claim
1. A method, operable in a processor connected to a recommender engine, for generating a recommendation for at least one further content item, the processor operatively coupled to a storage device for storing said multiple criteria and to an output rendering device for displaying recommendations of content items pertaining to a personalized content channel, the processor executing the steps of:
- causing said processor to use a filter with multiple selection criteria for providing content items associated with said personalized content channel, wherein each of said content items complies with all of the multiple selection criteria and wherein at least one of said multiple criteria stored in said storage device are associated with a characteristic of said personalized content channel being an obligatory selection criteria;
the recommender engine generating the recommendation for the at least one further content item, wherein the at least one further content item complies with fewer of the multiple selection criteria than available in said filter, wherein compliance with fewer of the multiple selection criteria allows the recommendation to be generated by the recommender engine requiring reduced computation;
rating said recommendation based on a measure of closeness, said measure of closeness being determined based solely on a number of selection criteria to which the at least one further content item satisfies closest to a number of said multiple criteria;
displaying said rated recommendation on said output rendering device, anddisplaying real-time feedback indicating the number of additional content items per time period that would pass the filter as a result of selecting the rated recommendation;
selecting at least one of said further content items; and
playing out on said output rendering device said selected further content item.

Abstract
Method and system (100) for generating a recommendation for at least one further content item is disclosed. A personalized content channel is enabled to play out a plurality of content items (programs) complying with multiple selection criteria. At least one further content item is recommended by a recommender engine (107), the at least one further content item complying with fewer of the multiple criteria. In an embodiment, at least one of the at least one recommended further content item is selected and the multiple selection criteria are adjusted by a scheduler (109) on the basis of at least one characteristic of the selected recommended further content item.

11. A system for generating a recommendation for at least one further content item, the system comprising:
-
a filter with multiple criteria for providing content items associated with a personalized content channel, wherein each of said content items complies with all of the multiple criteria and wherein at least one of said multiple criteria being associated with a characteristic of said personalized content channel being an obligatory criteria; and a recommender engine, connected to a processor for selecting said multiple criteria, and further connected to a storage device for storing said multiple criteria and connected to an output rendering device for displaying recommendations of content items pertaining to said personalized content channel, the processor; generating the recommendation for the at least one further content item, wherein the at least one further content item complies with fewer of the multiple selection criteria than available in said filter, wherein compliance with the fewer of the multiple selection criteria allows the recommendation to be generated by the recommender engine requiring reduced computation; rating said recommendation based on a measure of closeness, said measure of closeness being determined based on a number of criteria to which the at least one further content item satisfies closest to a number of said multiple criteria, the closeness measure being further calculated according to the following rule;
for at least one disjunct in the recommendation having n literals, wherein each literal is a selection criteria for the filter, ensuring that n−
1 m literals and no disjunct is satisfied, such that exactly m literals are excluded from the disjunct, anddisplaying said rated recommendation on said output rendering device, and displaying real-time feedback indicating the number of additional content items per time period that would pass the filter as a result of selecting the rated recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (12)
