METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTION AND SCHEDULING OF CONTENT OUTLIERS
First Claim
1. A content recommendation system, comprising:
- an outlier scheduling module for scheduling an insertion of an outlier in a recommended content to provide content diversity at an appropriate time;
an outlier selection module coupled to the outlier scheduling module for selecting the outlier based on a selection policy; and
an outlier evaluation module coupled to the outlier selection module for monitoring a current user context and adjusting the selecting and the scheduling of the outlier in response to a user feedback of the outlier,wherein an affinity model produces recommended content and the outlier selection module inserts the outlier in the recommended content to expose a user to alternative content based on the current user context.

Abstract
A content recommendation system (100) to schedule a delivery of diverse content when a user is more receptive to the recommendation is provided. The system can include an outlier scheduling module (120) for scheduling an insertion of an outlier (224) in a recommended content based on a schedule model (125) and a trigger policy (127), an outlier selection module (140) for selecting the outlier from recommended content of an affinity model (145) based on a selection policy (147), and an outlier evaluation module (160) for monitoring a current user context and adjusting the selecting and the scheduling of the outlier in response to a user feedback of the outlier. The content recommendation system can expose the user to diverse content based on the user'"'"'s current consumption pattern and current context.

7. A method for diverse content recommendation, comprising:
-
determining an appropriate time to make an outlier recommendation in view of a current user consumption of content; and triggering a selection and scheduling of an outlier in view of the appropriate time, wherein the outlier is recommended at the appropriate times such that a user is introduced to diverse content a time that the user is more receptive to the diverse content. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A media player for dynamically adapting to a user'"'"'s media experience needs, comprising:
-
an affinity model for producing recommended content; a scheduling model for triggering an insertion of an outlier in the recommended content; a media interface for playing the outlier and receiving user actions; and a content recommendation system receiving the recommended content from the affinity model, a trigger policy from the scheduling model, and user feedback from the media interface for assessing current user consumption and context. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
