Identifying User Relationships from Situational Analysis of User Comments Made on Media Content
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset;
detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset; and
selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset; detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset; and selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments.

10. A server comprising:
-
a processor circuit configured for; detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset, detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset, and selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments; and a network interface circuit configured for outputting the similarity relationship for storage in a database. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface circuit configured for outputting data for storage in a database; and means for detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset; the means for detecting further configured for detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset; the means for detecting further configured for selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments, the means for detecting supplying the similarity relationship to the network interface circuit for storage in the database.

20. Logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable for:
-
detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset; detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset; and selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments.
