Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for suggesting a link to media content are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: identifying a plurality of keywords in a message in a communication interface on a user device; determining a plurality of media content items relating to the plurality of keywords; determining a plurality of probability values corresponding to the plurality of media content items, wherein each probability value indicates a likelihood that the message relates to the corresponding media content item; identifying one of the media content items based on the probability values; causing a suggestion to insert a link to the identified media content item to be presented in a suggestion interface on the user device; and in response to determining that the suggestion has been selected on the user device, causing the link to the identified media content item to be inserted in the message in the communication interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for suggesting a link to media content, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of keywords in a message in a communication interface on a user device; determining a plurality of media content items relating to the plurality of keywords; determining, using a hardware processor, a plurality of probability values corresponding to the plurality of media content items, wherein each probability value indicates a likelihood that the message relates to the corresponding media content item; identifying one of the media content items based on the probability values; causing a suggestion to insert a link to the identified media content item to be presented in a suggestion interface on the user device; and in response to determining that the suggestion has been selected on the user device, causing the link to the identified media content item to be inserted in the message in the communication interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of keywords include an indication of a name of an artist, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items associated with the artist.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of keywords includes an indication of time, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items corresponding to the indicated time.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of media content items further comprises identifying one or more media content items associated with a user account authenticated on the user device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on popularity information associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on comments associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggestion interface includes an image associated with the identified media content item.

8 . A system for suggesting a link to media content, the system comprising:
a hardware processor that is programmed to:
identify a plurality of keywords in a message in a communication interface on a user device;
determine a plurality of media content items relating to the plurality of keywords;
determine a plurality of probability values corresponding to the plurality of media content items, wherein each probability value indicates a likelihood that the message relates to the corresponding media content item;
identify one of the media content items based on the probability values;
cause a suggestion to insert a link to the identified media content item to be presented in a suggestion interface on the user device; and
in response to determining that the suggestion has been selected on the user device, cause the link to the identified media content item to be inserted in the message in the communication interface.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of keywords include an indication of a name of an artist, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items associated with the artist.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of keywords includes an indication of time, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items corresponding to the indicated time.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to identify one or more media content items associated with a user account authenticated on the user device.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on popularity information associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on comments associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the suggestion interface includes an image associated with the identified media content item.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for suggesting a link to media content, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of keywords in a message in a communication interface on a user device; determining a plurality of media content items relating to the plurality of keywords; determining a plurality of probability values corresponding to the plurality of media content items, wherein each probability value indicates a likelihood that the message relates to the corresponding media content item; identifying one of the media content items based on the probability values; causing a suggestion to insert a link to the identified media content item to be presented in a suggestion interface on the user device; and in response to determining that the suggestion has been selected on the user device, causing the link to the identified media content item to be inserted in the message in the communication interface.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of keywords include an indication of a name of an artist, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items associated with the artist.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of keywords includes an indication of time, and wherein the plurality of media content items includes one or more media content items corresponding to the indicated time.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining the plurality of media content items further comprises identifying one or more media content items associated with a user account authenticated on the user device.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on popularity information associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of probability values are based at least in part on comments associated with the corresponding plurality of media content items.

21 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the suggestion interface includes an image associated with the identified media content item.
