Method and system for delivery of content over communication networks
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing second content to a user via retrieval from a content repository, comprising:
- attempting to automatically identify second content which was not selected by the user but which is related to first content which was selected by the user;
providing a report of available content to the user, wherein the report includes one of;
an indicator associated with the first content for selection when the second content is not identified; and
an indicator associated with the second content without any indicator associated with the first content when the second content is identified; and
presenting the second content to the user upon selection of the indicator associated with the second content by the user.

Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for determining second content which was not selected by the user but which is related to first content which was selected by the user. For example, a system and method can be configured to receive, using one or more processors, first and second content where the first and second content are rich media (e.g., content containing audio or video elements). Systems and methods may be further configured where the relationship between the first content and second content are determined based on data or metadata of the first content (e.g., the title of the content or an episode number). Systems and methods may be further configured where the relationship between the first content and second content are determined based on scheduling data of the first content (e.g., the time and channel when the first content is transmitted).

23. A computer-implemented system for providing second content to a user via retrieval from a content repository, comprising:
-
one or more data processors; a computer-readable medium encoded with instructions for commanding the one or more data processors to execute steps including; attempting to automatically identify second content which was not selected by the user but which is related to first content which was selected by the user; providing a report of available content to the user, wherein the report includes one of; an indicator associated with the first content for selection when the second content is not identified; and an indicator associated with the second content without any indicator associated with the first content when the second content is identified; and presenting the second content to the user upon selection of the indicator associated with the second content by the user. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions for commanding one or more data processors to execute steps of a method of providing second content to a user via retrieval from a content repository, the method comprising:
-
attempting to automatically identify second content which was not selected by the user but which is related to first content which was selected by the user; providing a report of available content to the user, wherein the report includes one of; an indicator associated with the first content for selection when the second content is not identified; and an indicator associated with the second content without any indicator associated with the first content when the second content is identified; and presenting the second content to the user upon selection of the indicator associated with the second content by the user. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)
