1. A method comprising:
- identifying, via a computing device, at least one media object accessible within a user media repository, the user media repository being associated with a computer-readable storage medium and located on a network, the user media repository comprising one or more media objects accessible by an individual user;
compiling, via the computing device, consumption data that corresponds to usage, by a user, of the at least one media object;
generating, via the computing device, user profile data based upon at least in part on the identification of the at least one media object and the consumption data;
updating the user profile date based at least in part on a detected change in the user media repository and on a detected change in usage of the at least one media object related to user movement through geographic space;
identifying, via the computing device, at least one promotional media object based on the user profile data, the user profile data to specify one or more characteristics of one or more media objects currently stored within the user media repository, the at least one promotional media object not within the user media repository; and
permitting, via the computing device, access to the at least one promotional media object.

Abstract
Systems and methods have been developed for expanding collections of media objects that are stored remotely. More specifically, systems and methods have been developed for continuously monitoring and updating collections of media objects stored in a user'"'"'s media repository (e.g., a “media locker”).

21. An article, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a computing device to;
identify at least one media object accessible within a user media repository located on a network, the user media repository comprising one or more media objects accessible by an individual user; compile consumption data that corresponds to usage, by a user, by the individual user, of the at least one media object; generate user profile data based upon at least one of the identification of the at least one media object and the consumption data comprising an indication of geographic area related to user consumption of the at least one media object; update the user profile data based at least in part on a detected change in the user media repository and on a detected change in usage of the at least one media object related to user movement through geographic space; identify at least one promotional media object based on the user profile data, the user profile data to specify one or more characteristics of one or more media objects currently stored within the user media repository, the at least one promotional media not within the user media repository; and permit access by the individual user to the at least one promotional media object.

22. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for identifying at least one media object accessible within a user media repository, the user media repository being associated with a computer-readable storage medium and located on a network, the user media repository comprising one or more media objects accessible by an individual user; means for compiling, via the computing device, consumption data that corresponds to usage, by the individual user, of the at least one media object; means for generating, via the computing device, user profile data based at least in part on the identification of the at least one media object and the consumption data; means for updating the user profile data based at least in part on a detected change in the user media repository and on a detected change in usage of the at least one media object related to user movement through geographic space; means for identifying, via the computing device, at least one promotional media object based on the user profile data, the user profile data to specify one or more characteristics of one or more media objects currently stored within the user media repository, the at least one promotional media object not within the user media repository; and means for permitting, via the computing device, access by the user to the at least one promotional media object.
