Methods and systems for selecting and presenting content on a first system based on user preferences learned on a second system
First Claim
1. A user-interface method of selecting and presenting a collection of content items of a first content system in which the presentation is ordered at least in part based on content preferences of the user learned from the user selecting content of a second content system, the method comprising:
- receiving incremental input entered by the user for incrementally identifying desired content items of the second content system, each content item having at least one associated descriptive term to describe the content item;
in response to the incremental input entered by the user, presenting a subset of content items of the second content system;
receiving selection actions of content items of the subset from the user;
determining a user preference signature by analyzing the descriptive terms of the selected content items to learn the content preferences of the user for the content of the second content system;
determining a relationship between the content items of the first content system and the content items of the second content system, the relationship defining which learned user content preferences of the user preference signature are relevant to the content items of the first content system; and
in response to receiving subsequent incremental input entered by the user for incrementally identifying desired content items of the first content system, selecting and ordering a collection of content items of the first content system based on the learned content preferences of the user determined to be relevant to the content items of the first content system.

Abstract
A method of selecting and presenting content on a first system based on user preferences learned on a second system is provided. The method includes receiving a user'"'"'s input for identifying items of the second content system and, in response thereto, presenting a subset of items of the second content system and receiving the user'"'"'s selection actions thereof. The method includes analyzing the selected items to learn the user'"'"'s content preferences for the content of the second content system and determining a relationship between the content of the first and second content systems to determine preferences relevant to items of the first content system. The method includes, in response subsequent user input for items of the first content system, selecting and ordering a collection of items of the first content system based on the user'"'"'s learned content preferences determined to be relevant to the items of the first content system.

28. A user-interface method of selecting and presenting to a first user a collection of content items of a first content system in which the presentation is ordered at least in part based on content preferences of a second user learned from the second user selecting content of a second content system, the method comprising:
-
receiving incremental input entered by the second user for incrementally identifying desired content items of the second content system, each content item having at least one associated descriptive term to describe the content item; in response to the incremental input entered by the second user, presenting a subset of content items of the second content system; receiving selection actions of content items of the subset from the second user; determining a user preference signature by analyzing the descriptive terms of the selected content items to learn the content preferences of the second user for the content of the second content system; determining a relationship between the content items of the first content system and the content items of the second content system, the relationship defining which learned user content preferences of the user preference signature are relevant to the content items of the first content system; and in response to receiving subsequent incremental input entered by the first user for incrementally identifying desired content items of the first content system, selecting and ordering a collection of content items of the first content system based on the learned content preferences of the second user determined to be relevant to the content items of the first content system. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
