Systems and methods for ranking assets relative to a group of viewers
First Claim
1. A method for providing asset recommendations for a group of at least a first and a second viewer, the method comprising:
- generating, using control circuitry, a display including identifiers for a plurality of assetscomputing, using control circuitry for each asset in the display, at least two first individual preference values relative to each asset, each first individual preference value being associated with the at least first and second viewers, respectively, of the group of viewers;
computing, using the control circuitry for each asset in the display, a first group preference value relative to each asset as a function of the at least two first individual preference values; and
generating, using the control circuitry for inclusion in the display, a representation of the at least two first individual preference values and the first group preference value for each asset in the display, wherein the at least two first individual preference values are visually distinguished from the first group preference value, and wherein the representation of the at least two first individual preference values and the first group preference value includes a numerical value representing at least one of the first group preference value and the at least two individual preference values.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for ranking assets relative to a group of viewers. A group is formed by a user by selecting a number of different viewer preference profiles or automatically by the system as a function of analyzing similarities among viewer preference profiles. Individual preference values are computed for each viewer in the group relative to an asset. A group preference value is then computed by performing a function on the individual preference values. A display is generated that represents the individual preference values and the group preference value relative to an asset. Based on the information provided in the display, the asset most relevant to the group may be selected.

59. A method for providing asset recommendations for a group of at least a first and a second viewer, the method comprising:
-
computing, using control circuitry, at least two first individual preference values relative to a first asset, each first individual preference value being associated with the at least first and second viewers, respectively, of the group of viewers; computing, using the control circuitry, a first group preference value relative to the first asset as a function of the at least two first individual preference values; and generating, using the control circuitry, a display representing the at least two first individual preference values and the first group preference value, wherein the display comprises a bar having a length, wherein the length represents the first group preference value, and wherein portions of the bar comprise varying lengths that represent each viewer'"'"'s respective first individual preference value. - View Dependent Claims (60)
