Methods and systems for providing supplemental contextual content
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for supplementing content, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a portal page from a user;
receiving primary content, including primary discussion objects, from an information source, the primary discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to the user;
generating a primary media asset, the primary media asset including the primary content and primary content metadata, the primary content metadata including the primary discussion objects and characterizing the primary discussion objects;
determining criteria for selecting supplemental content based on at least one of a frequency of particular primary discussion objects or an importance level of the primary content;
selecting supplemental content, including supplemental discussion objects, that satisfies the criteria, the supplemental discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to the user;
generating a supplemental media asset, including the supplemental content and supplemental content metadata, the supplemental content metadata including the supplemental discussion objects and characterizing the supplemental discussion objects; and
displaying the primary media asset and the supplemental media asset in a portion of the portal page based on a category to which the primary discussion objects and the supplemental discussion objects belong, respectively, and a capacity of a device accessible to the user.

Abstract
Methods and systems for generating supplemental content are disclosed. A supplemental content selector inputs a primary article and, based on supplemental content logic that governs an examination of content metadata associated with individual elements of the primary article, outputs a supplemental article. The supplemental content logic may also include a preference of a user or a system capability of a system of the user. The supplemental content selector can be used as part of a portal generation system in which space in a portal page is reserved for the supplemental article. In this way, the user of the portal generation system will be provided a portal page that is likely to reflect the interests of the user.

17. A computer-implemented system for aggregating content, the system comprising:
-
an article reader operable to generate a primary article, the primary article including primary content and primary content metadata, the primary content including primary discussion objects, the primary discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to a user, and the primary content metadata including and characterizing the primary discussion objects; a supplemental content selector operable to determine criteria for selecting supplemental content, based on at least one of a frequency of particular primary discussion objects or an importance level of the primary content, and further operable to select a supplemental article for delivery to the user, the supplemental article including supplemental content that satisfies the criteria, and supplemental content metadata, the supplemental content including supplemental discussion objects and the supplemental content metadata including and characterizing the supplemental discussion objects, the supplemental discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to a user; and a pagination engine operable to aggregate the primary article and the supplemental article into personalized content and deliver the primary article and the supplemental article to the user for display in a portion of a portal page based on a category to which the primary discussion objects and the supplemental discussion objects belong, respectively, and a capacity of a device accessible to the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An apparatus for supplementing content, the apparatus being configured to:
-
receive a request for a portal page from a user; receive primary content, including primary discussion objects, from an information source, the primary discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to the user; generate a primary article, the primary article including the primary content and primary content metadata, the primary content metadata including and characterizing the primary discussion objects; implement a display for displaying more than one article, the display having a first subsection and a second subsection; associate the primary article with the first subsection based on a category to which the primary discussion objects belong; determine criteria for selecting supplemental content based on at least one of a frequency of particular primary discussion objects or an importance level of the primary content; select supplemental content, including supplemental discussion objects, that satisfies the criteria, the supplemental discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to the user; a supplemental article including the supplemental content and supplemental content metadata, the supplemental content metadata including and characterizing the supplemental discussion objects; and associate the supplemental article with the second subsection based on a category to which the supplemental discussion objects belong. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A system for rendering content, the system comprising:
-
a media asset reader operable to access primary media assets, the primary media assets including primary content and primary content metadata, the primary content including primary discussion objects and the primary content metadata including and characterizing the primary discussion objects, the primary discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to a user; a frame generator operable to generate a primary set of frames in a display format in which a subset of the primary media assets is to be displayed, and further operable to generate a supplemental frame in the display format; and a supplemental content generator operable to receive supplemental content, based on at least one of a frequency of particular primary discussion objects or an importance level of the primary content, the supplemental content including supplemental discussion objects, the supplemental discussion objects being a portion of content that is displayed to the user, and further operable to generate a supplemental media asset including the supplemental content and supplemental content metadata, the supplemental content metadata including and characterizing the supplemental discussion objects, for inclusion within the supplemental frame. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
