System and method for playlist generation based on similarity data
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant, said method comprising:
- rating, by a program host server, a recommended-for-purchase media item as being similar to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of a program participant computing device, wherein the rating is representative of a frequency at which the recommended-for-purchase media item co-occurs with the designated media item in media libraries of others;
determining that the recommended-for-purchase media item is not presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant computing device; and
transmitting to the program participant computing device identification of the recommended-for-purchase media item based on the recommended-for-purchase media item being rated as similar to the designated media item.

Abstract
System, method and computer program that encompasses one or more client devices cooperating with a program host'"'"'s on-line data processing center for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant. Accordingly, there is a transmission from a program host to a program participant of identification of at least one recommended-for-purchase media item selected based on the recommended-for-purchase media item being rated as similar to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of the program participant. The rating of the recommended-for-purchase media item as being similar to the designated media item presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant is representative of a frequency at which the recommended-for-purchase media item co-occurs with the designated media item in media libraries of others.

13. A device for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant, said device comprising:
-
a data storage device configured to contain purchase information data; a processor in signal communication with the data storage device, the processor configured to; execute a similarity data generation program that receives purchase information data from the storage media device and determines an incidence of co-occurrence of pairs of individual media items in multiple purchasers'"'"' inventories, the incidence of co-occurring pairs being used to determine recommended-for-purchase data representing a recommended-for-purchase media item based on similarity to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of a program participant, and determine whether the recommended-for-purchase media item is presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant; and a communication interface configured to transmit the recommended-for-purchase data to the program participant. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant, the computer program code causing a purchase recommendations generation device to:
-
rate a recommended-for-purchase media item as being similar to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of a program participant computing device, wherein the rating is representative of an incidence of co-occurrence between the recommended-for-purchase media item and the designated media item in multiple purchasers'"'"' inventories; determine that the recommended-for-purchase media item is not presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant computing device; and transmit recommended-for-purchase data which represents the recommended-for-purchase media item based on the similarity rating. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
