First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- retrieving a first media profile of a first user and a second media profile of a second user, wherein each of the profiles includes information of a plurality of media parameters and playback data relating to at least one of the plurality of media parameters;
computing similarity values between the first user and the second user based on the playback data of the media profiles; and
determining a similarity score between the first user and the second user using the similarity values.

Abstract
An approach is provided for finding users with similar media interest. A media service platform retrieves a first media profile of a first user and a second media profile of a second user, wherein each of the profiles includes information of a plurality of media parameters and playback data relating to at least one of the plurality of media parameters. Next, the media service computes similarity values between the first user and the second user based on the weighted playback data of the media profiles. The media service platform then determines a similarity score between the first user and the second user using the similarity values.
