PUSH-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for pushing a recommendation to a user, comprising:
- one or more processing units; and
memory comprising instructions that when executed by at least one of the one or more processing units implement at least some of;
a recommendation component configured to;
identify a triggering event associated with a user;
determine one or more suggested entities corresponding to the triggering event, the one or more suggested entities comprising a first suggested entity and a second suggested entity, the first suggested entity having a first rank in association with a first factor, the second suggested entity having a second rank in association with the first factor, the first suggested entity having a third rank in association with a second factor, the second suggested entity having a fourth rank in association with the second factor, the first rank lower than the second rank, the third rank higher than the fourth rank;
create a recommendation for the triggering event, the recommendation comprising the first suggested entity but not the second suggested entity based upon the first rank being lower than the second rank and the third rank being higher than the fourth rank; and
push the recommendation to a device associated with the user.

Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for pushing a recommendation to a user. That is, a recommendation may be pushed to a device of the user based upon a triggering event associated with the user. The recommendation may be provided, for example, without user solicitation for the recommendation. In one example, a recommendation component may observe that the user frequently stops for ice cream on Fridays after work (e.g., based upon prior social network check-ins). Accordingly, on the following Friday, the recommendation component may push a recommendation to the user'"'"'s device to visit a particular grocery store on the way home from work that is within 10 minutes of the user'"'"'s home so that the user can avoid melting ice cream (e.g., a location constraint may be applied to choose a grocery store that is relatively close to the user'"'"'s home).

11. A method for pushing a recommendation to a user, comprising:
-
determining one or more suggested entities corresponding to a triggering event associated with a user, the one or more suggested entities comprising a first suggested entity and a second suggested entity, the first suggested entity having a first rank in association with a first factor, the second suggested entity having a second rank in association with the first factor, the first suggested entity having a third rank in association with a second factor, the second suggested entity having a fourth rank in association with the second factor, the first rank lower than the second rank, the third rank higher than the fourth rank; creating a recommendation for the triggering event, the recommendation comprising the first suggested entity but not the second suggested entity based upon the first rank being lower than the second rank and the third rank being higher than the fourth rank; and pushing the recommendation to a device associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed perform a method for pushing a recommendation to a user, comprising:
-
identifying a triggering event associated with a user, the triggering event corresponding to an inference that the user will perform an activity and based upon at least one of a scheduled event within a user calendar, an email associated with the user, social network data for the user, an observed behavior, a change in a real world value, or an amount of gas within a vehicle of the user; determining one or more suggested entities corresponding to a triggering event associated with a user, the one or more suggested entities comprising a first suggested entity and a second suggested entity, the first suggested entity having a first rank in association with a first factor, the second suggested entity having a second rank in association with the first factor, the first suggested entity having a third rank in association with a second factor, the second suggested entity having a fourth rank in association with the second factor, the first rank lower than the second rank, the third rank higher than the fourth rank; creating a recommendation for the triggering event, the recommendation comprising the first suggested entity but not the second suggested entity based upon the first rank being lower than the second rank and the third rank being higher than the fourth rank; and pushing the recommendation to a device associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
