Detecting and extending engagement with stream content
First Claim
1. A method for detecting and extending user engagement with a stream of content, the method comprising:
- determining a context of user interaction with the stream of content from a social network;
determining a likelihood of abandonment from the user interaction with the stream of content, the likelihood of abandonment indicating a likelihood that a user may disengage from interacting with the stream of content by ending a user session with the social network, the user session having been previously initiated;
creating engaging content; and
providing for display the engaging content to the user if the likelihood of abandonment satisfies a threshold.

Abstract
A system for detecting and extending user engagement with stream content includes an engagement extension module that comprises a context identification module, an abandonment detection module, an engaging post generator and an injection module. The context identification module determines the interactions of the user with content stream and provides the user interaction signals to the abandonment detection module. The abandonment detection module analyzes these signals to determine whether there is a risk that the user may abandon or disengage from interacting with the content stream. The engaging post generator generates messages or other information likely to be interesting to the user and keep them engaged. If the abandonment detection module determines that there is a risk that the user may abandon or disengage from interacting with the content stream, the injection module adds a message or post generated by the engaging post generator into the content stream for the user.

13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
determine a context of user interaction with the stream of content from a social network; determine a likelihood of abandonment from the user interaction with the stream of content, the likelihood of abandonment indicating a likelihood that a user may disengage from interacting with the stream of content by ending a user session with the social network, the user session having been previously initiated; create engaging content; and provide for display the engaging content to the user if the likelihood of abandonment satisfies a threshold; determine a duration of a user session, and send a risk of abandonment signal if the duration of the user session is greater than a predetermined amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system for detecting and extending user engagement with stream content comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the memory comprising; a context identification module having an input and an output, the context identification module determining interaction of a user with a stream of content from a social network and generating an interaction signal for a context of the user, the input of the context identification module coupled to receive signals from a social network; an abandonment detection module having an input and an output, the abandonment detection module analyzing the interaction signal to determine whether there is a likelihood that the user may abandon the stream of content by ending a user session with the social network, the user session having been previously established, the likelihood of abandonment being determined based on the user interaction with the stream of content, the input of the abandonment detection module coupled to the output of the context identification module; an engaging post generator having an input and an output, the engaging post generator producing an engaging message to the keep the user engaged, the input of the engaging post generator coupled to the output of the abandonment detection module to receive a the risk signal indicating that the likelihood of abandonment satisfies a threshold; and an injection module having an input and an output, the injection module for providing for display the engaging message in response to the risk signal indicating that the user may abandon the stream of content from the abandonment detection module, the input of the injection module coupled to the output of the abandonment detection module to receive the risk signal and to the output of the engaging post generator to receive the engaging message. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
