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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for identifying user-generated media, the method comprising:
determining that at least one media content item from a first user-generated playlist of media content items of a plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items is being viewed by a first entity;
in response to determining that the at least one media content item is being viewed by the first entity, determining a plurality of relatedness values between the first user-generated playlist of media content items and each of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values indicates a relatedness of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists to the at least one media content item being viewed, and wherein the relatedness value of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists is inferred based on user behavior information that indicates viewings of media content items included in the user-generated playlist of media content items and the at least one media content item being viewed across a plurality of users;
identifying an authorization of the first entity to view media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items;
determining, based on the authorization that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a first playback manner is authorized and that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a second playback manner is prohibited; and
recommending a subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items to the first entity based on a ranking of the plurality of relatedness values, wherein the recommendations are presented with a group of actions available to the first entity relating to the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, and wherein the group of actions are selected based on the first playback manner and the second playback manner.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user behavior information includes a review of a media content item.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items are selected based on each of the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items satisfying authorization criteria.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the first entity, an indication that the first user-generated playlist of media content items is to be modified based on the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, wherein an action of the group of actions is modifying the first user-generated playlist of media content items; and
in response to receiving the indication, modifying the first user-generated playlist of media content items.

5. A system for identifying user-generated media, the system comprising:
a hardware processor that is programmed to:
determine that at least one media content item from a first user-generated playlist of media content items of a plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items is being viewed by a first entity;
in response to determining that the at least one media content item is being viewed by the first entity, determine a plurality of relatedness values between the first user-generated playlist of media content items and each of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values indicates a relatedness of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists to the at least one media content item being viewed, and wherein the relatedness value of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists is inferred based on user behavior information that indicates viewings of media content items included in the user-generated playlist of media content items and the at least one media content item being viewed across a plurality of users;
identify an authorization of the first entity to view media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items;
determine, based on the authorization that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a first playback manner is authorized and that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a second playback manner is prohibited; and
recommend a subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items to the first entity based on a ranking of the plurality of relatedness values, wherein the recommendations are presented with a group of actions available to the first entity relating to the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, and wherein the group of actions are selected based on the first playback manner and the second playback manner.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the user behavior information includes a review of a media content item.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items are selected based on each of the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items satisfying authorization criteria.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to:
receive, from the first entity, an indication that the first user-generated playlist of media content items is to be modified based on the subset of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, wherein an action of the group of actions is modifying the first user-generated playlist of media content items; and
in response to receiving the indication, modify the first user-generated playlist of media content items.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed on a computing device, perform a method for identifying user-generated media, the method comprising:
determining that at least one media content item from a first user-generated playlist of media content items of a plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items is being viewed by a first entity;
in response to determining that the at least one media content item is being viewed by the first entity, determining a plurality of relatedness values between the first user-generated playlist of media content items and each of the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items, wherein each of the plurality of relatedness values indicates a relatedness of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists to the at least one media content item being viewed, and wherein the relatedness value of each of the user-generated playlists of the plurality of user-generated playlists is inferred based on user behavior information that indicates viewings of media content items included in the user-generated playlist of media content items and the at least one media content item being viewed across a plurality of users;
identifying an authorization of the first entity to view media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists of media content items;
determining, based on the authorization that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a first playback manner is authorized and that playback of the media content included in the plurality of user-generated playlists by the first entity in a se
