1. A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device configured to perform operations comprising;
determine a foundational media item based at least upon an activity associated with a user, the foundational media item being of a first format type;
identify a related media item based upon pre-defined relational metadata associated with the foundational media item, the pre-defined relational metadata identifying the related media item as related to the foundational media item, the related media item being of a second format type;
generate a recommendation to the user for the related media item, wherein the recommendation authorizes a presentation of the related media item through a user interface generated in the at least one computing device, the presentation of the related media item having a usage restriction;
disable the presentation of the related media item according to the usage restriction; and
enable, after disabling the presentation of the related media item, the presentation of the related media item according to another activity associated with the user with respect to a media item distinct from the related media item; and
wherein the activity further comprises a purchase history of a another user, the first user being associated with a pre-defined user list comprising the another user.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for determining a foundational media item based at least upon an activity associated with a user. A related media item is identified based upon pre-defined relational metadata associated with the foundational media item. A recommendation is generated for the related media item that authorizes a presentation of the related media item through a user interface generated in a computing device.

10. A method, comprising:
-
determining, in at least one computing device, a foundational media item based at least upon an activity associated with a first user; identifying, in the at least one computing device, a related media item based upon pre-defined relational metadata associated with the foundational media item, the pre-defined relational metadata identifying the related media item as related to the foundational media item; generating, in the at least one computing device, a recommendation for the related media item, wherein the recommendation authorizes a presentation of the related media item through a user interface generated in the at least one computing device, the presentation having a usage restriction; disabling, in the at least one computing device, the presentation of the related media item according to the usage restriction; enabling, in the at least one computing device, after disabling the presentation of the related media item, the presentation of the related media item according to another activity associated with the first user with respect to a media item distinct from the related media item; and wherein the activity further comprises a purchase history of a second user, the first user being associated with a pre-defined user list comprising the second user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program, when executed, causing the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
determine a foundational media item based at least upon an activity associated with a first user, the foundational media item being of a first format type selected from the group consisting of audio, video, and electronic book; identify a related media item based at least upon pre-defined relational metadata associated with the foundational media item, the pre-defined relational metadata identifying the related media item as related to the foundational media item, the related media item being of a second format type, the second format type being a different format type than the first format type; generate a recommendation to the first user for the related media item, wherein the recommendation authorizes a presentation of the related media item through a user interface, the presentation having a usage restriction comprising being limited to a pre-defined length of time; disable the presentation of the related media item according to the usage restriction; enable, after disabling the presentation of the related media item, the presentation of the related media item according to another activity associated with the first user with respect to a media item distinct from the related media item; generate the user interface to present the related media item to the first user; transmit, via a network, data encoding the user interface to a client computing device; and wherein the activity further comprises a purchase history of a second user, the first user being associated with a pre-defined user list comprising the second user. - View Dependent Claims (18)
