Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for presenting notifications indicating recommended content are provided. A notification of recommended content can be provided. An indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with a display device can be received. A request for recommended content to be presented on the display device can be received. A media content item can be identified based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected by a user account associated with the user device. A notification can be generated that includes an indication of the identified media content item and a selectable input that, when selected, causes the identified media content item to begin being presented on the display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for presenting notifications of recommended content, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with a media presentation device, wherein:
the indication includes an identifier of media content presented on the media presentation device during the casting session; and
a user account is authenticated on the user device;

identifying a group of media content items based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account and presented using the media presentation device;
generating a notification that includes an indication of the group of identified media content items and a selectable input that, when the selectable input is selected, causes media content from the identified group of media content items to begin presentation on the media presentation device; and
transmitting the notification to the user device for presentation on the user device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account was selected using the user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group of media content items is identified based on a type of media content previously presented on the media presentation device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group of media content items is part of a group of media content items identified based on the at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account and presented using the media presentation device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a previous time at which a second notification was transmitted to the user device, wherein the notification is transmitted to the user device in response to determining that more than a predetermined duration of time has elapsed since the previous time at which the second notification was transmitted to the user device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a configuration table that indicates one or more media presentation devices that have been associated with the user device; and
transmitting, to the user device, the configuration table.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising receiving, from the user device, a request for recommended content to be presented on the media presentation device, wherein the request received from the user device for recommended content is received after transmitting the configuration table to the user device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the user device, a request for recommended content to be presented on the media presentation device.

9. A system for presenting notifications of recommended content, the system comprising:
a hardware processor that:
receives an indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with a media presentation device, wherein:
the indication includes an identifier of media content presented on the media presentation device during the casting session; and
a user account is authenticated on the user device;
identifies a group of media content items based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account and presented using the media presentation device;
generates a notification that includes an indication of the group of identified media content items and a selectable input that, when the selectable input is selected, causes media content from the identified group of media content items to begin presentation on the media presentation device; and
transmits the notification to the user device for presentation on the user device.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account was selected using the user device.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the group of media content items is part of a group of media content items identified based on the at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account and presented using the media presentation device.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the group of media content items is identified based on a type of media content previously presented on the media presentation device.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor further determines a previous time at which a second notification was transmitted to the user device, wherein the notification is transmitted to the user device in response to determining that more than a predetermined duration of time has elapsed since the previous time at which the second notification was transmitted to the user device.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor further:
generates a configuration table that indicates one or more media presentation devices that have been associated with the user device; and
transmits, to the user device, the configuration table.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the hardware processor further receives, from the user device, a request for recommended content to be presented on the media presentation device, wherein the request received from the user device for recommended content is received after transmitting the configuration table to the user device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor further receives, from the user device, a request for recommended content to be presented on the media presentation device.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting notifications of recommended content, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with a media presentation device, wherein:
the indication includes an identifier of media content presented on the media presentation device during the casting session; and
a user account is authenticated on the user device;

identifying a group of media content items based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account and presented using the media presentation device;
generating a notification that includes an indication of the group of identified media content items and a selectable input that, when the selectable input is selected, causes media content from the identified group of media content items to begin presentation on the media presentation device; and
transmitting the notification to the user device for presentation on the user device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one media content item that has been previously selected in association with the user account was selected using the user device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the group of media content items is identified based on a type of media content previously presented on the media presentation device.
