ATTRIBUTE-BASED CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON METADATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948655 titled 'ATTRIBUTE-BASED CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON METADATA

Simplified Explanation

Improved content recommendations are generated based on a knowledge graph of a content item, which is based on an attribute of the content item, metadata regarding the content item, a viewing history, and user preferences determined by analysis and selected by a user. An option for selecting attributes of interest from a plurality of attributes is generated for display. A content recommendation based on the selected attributes is generated and displayed in a user interface, which changes as user preference selections change. As a result, a user quickly identifies and consumes a customized list of content items related to the user's favorite actor, character, title, depicted object, depicted setting, actual setting, type of action, type of interaction, genre, release date, release decade, director, MPAA rating, critical rating, plot origin point, plot end point, and the like. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.
