METHODS, SYSTEMS AND MEDIA FOR SELECTIVELY PRESENTING BROADCAST CONTENT BASED ON USER INTERESTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233490 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS AND MEDIA FOR SELECTIVELY PRESENTING BROADCAST CONTENT BASED ON USER INTERESTS

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes methods, systems, and media for selectively presenting broadcast content based on user interests. - The method involves receiving user information and associating athletes from a sports organization with the user based on that information. - The user device is able to identify broadcast programs that it can present. - The method then determines which broadcast programs depict games between teams in the sports organization that are relevant to the associated athlete. - Event metadata for the relevant broadcast programs is received, which provides information about events that occur in the game. - The method determines if a portion of the first broadcast program is relevant to a specific entity based on the event metadata. - If it is determined to be relevant, the user device is caused to present that portion of the first broadcast program.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and media for selectively presenting broadcast content based on user interests are provided. In some implementations a method for selectively presenting broadcast content is provided, the method comprising: receiving user information; associating one or more athletes, each on a roster of a team in a sports organization, with the user based on the user information; identifying broadcast programs that a user device can present; determining broadcast programs that depict a game between teams in the sports organization that are relevant to an athlete associated with the user based on program metadata; receiving event metadata for the relevant broadcast programs that is indicative of events in the game depicted therein; determining that a portion of the first broadcast program is relevant to a first entity based on the event metadata; and causing the user device to present the portion of the first broadcast.
