First Claim
1. A method for selectively determining data describing audio-visual content items for presentation to a user based on levels of interaction with audio-visual content items by entities connected to the user by way of a social network, the method comprising:
- identifying, from a database, an entry corresponding to an audio-visual content item, the entry comprising a plurality of descriptive elements, each of the descriptive elements textually or visually describing an attribute of the audio-visual content item, wherein the descriptive elements are distinct from the audio-visual content item;
retrieving a social media profile of the user, wherein the social media profile of the user comprises a history of social media publications made by the entities by way of the social network, wherein a social media publication is a post, message, or reaction on the social network;
determining a number of social media publications of the history of social media publications that refer to the audio-visual content item;
comparing the number of social media publications to a predetermined amount to determine whether the number of social media publications is greater than the predetermined amount;
in response to determining that the number of social media publications is greater than the predetermined amount;
selecting a first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item;
retrieving the first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item from the entry; and
generating for display to the user, before generating for display the audio-visual content item, the first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item; and
in response to determining that the number of social media publications is not greater than the predetermined amount;
selecting a second subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item, wherein a second number of descriptive elements in the second subset is greater than a first number of descriptive elements in the first subset;
retrieving the selected subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item from the entry; and
generating for display to the user, before generating for display the audio-visual content item, the second subset of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item.
