SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPILING MEDIA INFORMATION BASED ON PRIVACY AND RELIABILITY METRICS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for profiling a user'"'"'s media content interests, comprising:
- receiving, at a profile clearinghouse server, a query from a requester for a user profile comprising a user'"'"'s media content interests, wherein the query includes a requester identifier;
accessing a first data structure of a first source comprising first media content interests and a privacy setting;
comparing the requester identifier to the privacy setting to determine whether the requester has access to the first source;
in response to determining the requester has access to the first source, retrieving the first media content interests from the data structure of the first source;
generating a first reliability metric from the first source, wherein the first reliability metric indicates a likelihood that the first media content interests are indicative of the user'"'"'s media content interests;
comparing the first reliability metric to a reliability metric threshold; and
in response to determining the reliability metric exceeds the reliability metric threshold, generating the user profile for transmission to the requester based at least in part on the first media content interests.

11. A system for profiling a user'"'"'s media content interests at a profile clearinghouse server, comprising:
a receiving module configured to receive a query from a requester for a user profile comprising a user'"'"'s media content interests, wherein the query includes a requester identifier; an accessing module configured to access a first data structure of a first source comprising first media content interests and a privacy setting; a comparing module configured to compare the requester identifier to the privacy setting to determine whether the requester has access to the first source; a retrieving module configured to retrieve the first media content interests from the data structure of the first source in response to determining the requester has access to the first source; an generation module configured to generate a first reliability metric from the first source, wherein the first reliability metric indicates a likelihood that the first media content interests are indicative of the user'"'"'s media content interests; a reliability module configured to compare the first reliability metric to a reliability metric threshold; and an output module configured to generate the user profile for transmission to the requester based at least in part on the first media content interests in response to determining the reliability metric exceeds the reliability metric threshold. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
