Abstract

An entertainment content personalization system is described. A method may comprise receiving fantasy data; generating rankings of event content based on the fantasy data and content data associated with the event content; and presenting event content selected based on the rankings on a user interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving fantasy data;

generating rankings of event content based on the fantasy data and content data associated with the event content, the content data comprising a situational status of the event content, the ranking generated based on a determination of which event content has the situational status with higher fantasy impact; and

presenting event content selected based on the rankings on a user interface.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, presenting event content comprising presenting substantially live video content.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising assigning weights to the fantasy data according to fantasy participant interests.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, the fantasy data associated with a fantasy application.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, the fantasy application comprising at least one of a fantasy baseball application and a fantasy football application.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, the fantasy data comprising at least one of:

user preferences;

fantasy rules;

a fantasy competitor; and

a fantasy roster.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, the content data comprising at least one of:

a team;

a player;

a score; and

a game situation.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a transceiver;

a processor circuit coupled to the transceiver; and

a memory unit coupled to the processor circuit, the memory unit to store a fantasy event selection application operative on the processor circuit to present event content associated with a fantasy team on a user interface, the entertainment content personalization application comprising;

a fantasy application component operative to receiving fantasy data;

a fantasy content component operative to associate event content with content data;

a selection component operative to generate rankings of event content based on the fantasy data and content data, the content data comprising a situational status of the event content, the ranking generated based on a determination of which event content has the situational status with higher fantasy impact; and

a user interface component operative to presenting event content selected based on the rankings on a user interface.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, the user interface component operative to present event content comprising substantially live video content.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, the fantasy application component operative to assign weights the fantasy data according to fantasy participant interests.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, the fantasy data associated with a fantasy application.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, the fantasy application comprising at least one of a fantasy baseball application and a fantasy football application.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, the fantasy data comprising at least one of:

user preferences;

fantasy rules;

a fantasy competitor; and

a fantasy roster.

14. The apparatus of claim 12, the content data comprising at least one of:

a team;

a player;

a score; and

a game situation.

15. At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

receive fantasy data;

generate rankings of event content based on the fantasy data and content data associated with the event content, the content data comprising a situational status of the event content, the ranking generated based on a determination of which event content has the situational status with higher fantasy impact; and

present event content selected based on the rankings on a user interface.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to present event content comprising presenting substantially live video content on a website.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to assign weights the fantasy data according to fantasy participant interests.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, the fantasy data associated with a fantasy application.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, the fantasy application comprising at least one of a fantasy baseball application and a fantasy football application.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, the fantasy data comprising at least one of:

user preferences;

fantasy rules;

a fantasy competitor; and

a fantasy roster.

21. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 20, the content data comprising at least one of:

a team;

a player;

a score; and

a game situation.

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:

accessing, from a client computing device, a fantasy application;

providing fantasy data for the fantasy application; and

receiving event content from a server computing device on a user interface accessible from a display of the client computing device, the event content selected according to rankings of the event content based on the fantasy data and content data associated with the event content, the content data comprising a situational status of the event content, the ranking generated based on a determination of which event content has the situational status with higher fantasy impact.

23. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, the event content comprising substantially live video content.

24. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, the fantasy data being weighted according to fantasy participant interests.

25. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, the fantasy application comprising at least one of a fantasy baseball application and a fantasy football application.

26. The computer-implemented method of claim 25, the fantasy data comprising at least one of:
