Abstract

This disclosure relates to adaptive recommendations for user-generated mediasets. A mediaset component provides for users to generate mediasets. A user-generated mediaset can include a user-generated playlist or a user-generated media channel. A monitoring component monitors consumption of media, e.g., by a consumer. A relatedness component determines a set of the user-generated mediasets that are related to the media consumed by the consumer. A recommendation component recommends a subset of the user-generated mediasets based on a set of criteria. A rights management component determines a set of authorizations of the consumer for respective media content associated with the set of user-generated mediasets, and takes at least one action based on the set of authorizations, e.g., updating one of the mediasets based on the set of authorizations.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a memory storing computer executable components; and

a processor configured to execute the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the processor is configured to;

determine that at least one video from a consumed user-generated mediaset of a plurality of user-generated mediasets is being viewed by a first entity, wherein each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets includes a playlist of media content items;

in response to determining that the at least one video from the consumed user-generated mediaset is being viewed by the first entity, determine a plurality of relatedness values between the consumed user-generated mediaset and each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values indicates relatedness as a function of attributes provided for responsive content common to the consumed user-generated mediaset and one of the plurality of user-generated mediasets and wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values is determined based at least in part on a sum of different relatedness values associated with the common content included in the consumed user-generated mediaset and one of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, wherein the different relatedness values are computed based on a sum of relatedness functions;

recommend a subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets to the first entity based at least in part on the plurality of relatedness values and a set of criteria;

receive one or more authorizations from the first entity to modify a user-generated mediaset from the subset of recommended user-generated mediasets; and

cause the modified user-generated mediaset to be associated with the first entity, wherein the modified user-generated mediaset is presented with an appended tag that references the user-generated mediaset prior to modification by the first entity.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of criteria includes at least one of satisfaction of a predetermined relatedness threshold, or satisfaction of a predetermined relatedness ranking threshold.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to score each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets as a function of a set of consumption factors, wherein the set of consumption factors includes a percentage of entities that utilize each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to rank each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets as a function of the scores.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the set of criteria includes a ranking satisfying a defined score ranking threshold.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a set of authorizations of the first entity for the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, and takes at least one action based on the set of authorizations.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the at least one action is removal of a user-generated mediaset from the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, restriction of access to the user-generated mediaset, provision of purchasing the media content associated with the user-generated mediaset, or provision of a notification to the first entity based on the set of authorizations.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the consumed user-generated mediaset includes at least one video playlist.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine an action associated with the first entity to facilitate determination of the relatedness value.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to monitor sharing, rating, or reviewing of the at least one video.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of user-generated mediasets includes a plurality of playlists generated by the second entity.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of user-generated mediasets includes a media channel generated by the second entity.

13. A method, comprising:

determining, by a device comprising a processor, that at least one video from a consumed user-generated mediaset of a plurality of user-generated mediasets is being viewed by a first entity, wherein each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets includes a playlist of media content items;

in response to determining that the at least one video from the consumed user-generated mediaset is being viewed by the first entity, determining a plurality of relatedness values between the consumed user-generated mediaset and each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values indicates relatedness as a function of attributes provided for responsive content common to the consumed user-generated mediaset and one of the plurality of user-generated mediasets and wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values is determined based at least in part on a sum of different relatedness values associated with the common content included in the consumed user-generated mediaset and one of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, wherein the different relatedness values are computed based on a sum of relatedness functions;

recommending a subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets to the first entity based at least in part on the plurality of relatedness values and a set of criteria;

receiving one or more authorizations from the first entity to modify a user-generated mediaset from the subset of recommended user-generated mediasets; and

causing the modified user-generated mediaset to be associated with the first entity, wherein the modified user-generated mediaset is presented with an appended tag that references the user-generated mediaset prior to modification by the first entity.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

scoring each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets as a function of a set of consumption factors, wherein the set of consumption factors includes a quantity or a percentage of entities that utilize each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets,

wherein the recommending the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets to the first entity based at least in part on the set of criteria includes recommending the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets based on the scoring.

15. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

determining a set of authorizations of the first entity for the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, and

taking at least one action based on the set of authorizations.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the taking the at least one action includes removing a user-generated mediaset from the subset of the plurality of user-generated mediasets, restricting access to the user-generated mediaset, providing for the entity to purchase the media content associated with the user-generated mediaset, or providing a notification to the first entity based on the set of authorizations.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the monitoring further includes monitoring sharing of the at least one video.

18. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

determining the relatedness value for each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets as a function of entity behavior between the consumed user-generated mediaset and each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets.

19. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

determining the relatedness value for each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets as a function of relatedness of the plurality of media content included in each of the plurality of user-generated mediasets and the plurality of media content associated with the consumed user-generated mediaset.
