System and method for creating and using a smart channel tuner list
First Claim
1. A method for creating a smart channel tuner list, comprising:
- (a) determining an identity of a user interacting with a content presentation system;
(b) collecting channel switching information from said first channel to each of a plurality of second channels from the user'"'"'s interaction with the content presentation system;
(c) determining a value for each of said plural second channels as a function of the channel switching information; and
(d) creating a smart channel tuner list as a function of the determined value.

Abstract
Systems and/or methods are disclosed herein to identify a user interacting with a content presentation system, adaptively learn, in a passive manner, a user'"'"'s pattern of accessing content over time, and globally store the user'"'"'s identifying and use information. Specifically, disclosed are systems and/or methods for creating a smart channel tuner list, including determining an identity of a user interacting with a content presentation system, collecting channel switching information from the first channel to each of a plurality of second channels from the user'"'"'s interaction with the content presentation system, determining a value for each of the plural second channels as a function of the channel switching information, and creating a smart channel tuner list as a function of the determined value.
