Abstract

A system and method for targeted gaming news and media feeds is provided. Information about an interaction by a user with an interactive content title and a plurality of interactive content titles may be stored in memory. A processor executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor analyzes the information stored in memory regarding interaction by a user with an interactive content title and identifies one or more keywords that characterize the user interaction with the interactive content title. Media stored in a database may be filtered based on the identified keywords and displayed within a targeted media feed on a user device of the user. The displayed targeted media may be updated based on new information regarding user interaction with the interactive content title.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of providing a targeted media feed based on content interaction, the method comprising:
receiving information regarding an interactive content title, the received information indicating a set of user interactions by a user with the interactive content title in a plurality of gameplay sessions, wherein each gameplay session of the plurality of gameplay sessions includes a plurality of activities;
tracking the received information, including the set of user interactions, to determine when each activity of the plurality of activities begins and ends in each gameplay session;
recording a plurality of media files based on when each activity begins and ends, wherein each recorded media file is associated with respective timestamp data and is stored among the plurality of media files at a database;
creating respective activity data concurrent with recordation of each media file, wherein the respective activity data is based on a respective user interaction and a respective media file and the respective timestamp data;
identifying one or more keywords based on the respective activity data;
filtering a second plurality of media files associated with other users based on the identified keywords, wherein filtering the plurality of media files includes comparing the identified keywords to metadata associated with each of the media files;
generating a display of a filtered set of media files within the targeted media feed on a user device of the user, each of the media files in the filtered set associated with metadata that matches one or more of the identified keywords; and
updating the display of the targeted media feed to include a new filtered set of the media files based on one or more new matches corresponding to new interaction by the user with the interactive content title.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive content title is a game title.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the received information indicates a current level of progress of the user and a current skill level within the game title.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising generating the keywords based on the current level of the user progress and the current skill level, wherein filtering the media files comprises matching the keywords to associated metadata of the media files.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media files includes news concerning the interactive content title, and wherein the news is published by a same publisher of the interactive content title.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media files includes user-generated content produced by one or more peers.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the one or more peers is a designated influencer.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising promoting media produced by the designated influencer more than other media within the targeted media feed.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the user-generated content is specific to the interactive content title and includes a link selectable to automatically launch a specific interactive content title.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media files is produced by one or more third party publishers.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising filtering a third party media file by publisher.

12. A system for providing a targeted media feed based on content interaction, the system comprising:
a communication interface that receives information regarding an interactive content title, the received information indicating a set of user interactions by a user with the interactive content title in a plurality of gameplay sessions, wherein each gameplay session of the plurality of gameplay sessions includes a plurality of activities; and
one or more processors that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the one or more processors:
tracks the received information, including the set of user interactions, to determine when each activity of the plurality of activities begins and ends in each gameplay session;
records a plurality of media files based on when each activity begins and ends, wherein each recorded media file is associated with respective timestamp data and is stored among the plurality of media files at one or more databases;
creates respective activity data concurrent with recordation of each media file, wherein the respective activity data is based on a respective user interaction and the respective media file and the respective timestamp data;
identifies one or more keywords based on each respective activity data;
filters a second plurality of media files stored in the one or more databases based on the identified keywords, the second plurality of media files associated with other users, wherein filtering the plurality of media files includes comparing the identified keywords to metadata associated with each of the media files;
generates a display of a filtered set of the media files within the targeted media feed on a user device of the user, each of the media files in the filtered set associated with metadata that matches one or more of the identified keywords; and
updates the display of the targeted media feed to include a new filtered set of the media files based on one or more new information regarding user matches corresponding to new interaction by the user with the interactive content title.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive content title is a game title.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the received information regarding the respective user interaction by the user indicates a current level of user progress and a current skill level within the game title.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein further execution of the instructions by the one or more processors generates the keywords based on the current user progress level and the current skill level, and wherein the filtering the plurality of media files comprises matching the keywords to metadata of the plurality of media files.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of media files includes news concerning the interactive content title, and wherein the news is published by a same publisher of the interactive content title.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of media files includes user-generated content produced by one or more peers.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the one or more peers is a designated influencer.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein further execution of the instructions by the one or more processors promotes media produced by the designated influencer more than other media within the targeted media feed.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the user-generated content is specific to the interactive content title and includes a link selectable to automatically launch a specific interactive content title.

21. The system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of media files is produced by one or more third party publishers.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein further execution of the instructions by the one or more processors filters a third party media by publisher.
