Customized generation of highlights show with narrative component
Customized highlight shows for sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like, having a narrative component, are generated and presented. The events can be sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. A customized highlight show is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting events that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining and interesting to the user and that presents a cohesive narrative.
1 . A method for generating a customized highlight show, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system, a selection of an event;
receiving, by the computing system, a request to generate a customized highlight sequence;
generating, by the computing system, a customized highlight sequence by:
identifying, by the computing system, a plurality of occurrences corresponding to the event;
determining, by the computing system, a user transition preference based on user data;
generating, by the computing system, based on the user transition preference, a transition between a first occurrence of the plurality of occurrences and a second occurrence of the plurality of occurrences;
assembling, by the computing system, a highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the transition.
2 . The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
analyzing, by the computing system, a status of the event;
determining, by the computing system, that the event has an uncompleted status indicating that the event is in progress; and
generating, by the computing system, the highlight show for the event up to a point in time of the selection.
3 . The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
receiving, by the computing system, the user data from a data store, wherein the user data includes at least one of: a user demographic, user purchasing behavior, user web viewing behavior, a user interest, or a user preference.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transition withholds a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence.
5 . The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
determining, by the computing system, an occurrence priority corresponding to each of the plurality of occurrences.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein assembling the highlight show comprises:
analyzing, by the computing system, the occurrence priority for each of the plurality of occurrences; and
based on the occurrence priority, selecting, by the computing system, a subset of the plurality of occurrences for inclusion in the highlight show.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein analyzing the occurrence priority includes comparing the occurrence priority to an occurrence priority threshold.
8 . A computer system for generating a customized highlight show, the computer system comprising:
a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein; and
one or more processors configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors configures the one or more processors to perform a plurality of functions, including functions for:
receiving a selection of an event;
receiving a request to generate a customized highlight sequence;
generating a customized highlight sequence by:
identifying a plurality of occurrences corresponding to the event;
determining a user transition preference based on user data;
generating, based on the user transition preference, a transition between a first occurrence of the plurality of occurrences and a second occurrence of the plurality of occurrences;
assembling a highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the transition.
9 . The computer system of claim 8 , the functions further comprising:
analyzing a status of the event;
determining that the event has an uncompleted status indicating that the event is in progress; and
generating the highlight show for the event up to a point in time of the selection.
10 . The computer system of claim 8 , the functions further comprising:
receiving the user data from a data store, wherein the user data includes at least one of: a user demographic, user purchasing behavior, user web viewing behavior, a user interest, or a user preference.
11 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the transition withholds a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence.
12 . The computer system of claim 8 , the functions further comprising:
determining an occurrence priority corresponding to each of the plurality of occurrences.
13 . The computer system of claim 12 , wherein assembling the highlight show comprises:
analyzing the occurrence priority for each of the plurality of occurrences; and
based on the occurrence priority, selecting a subset of the plurality of occurrences for inclusion in the highlight show.
14 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein analyzing the occurrence priority includes comparing the occurrence priority to an occurrence priority threshold.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for generating a customized highlight show, the instructions comprising:
receiving, by a computing system, a selection of an event;
receiving, by the computing system, a request to generate a customized highlight sequence;
generating, by the computing system, a customized highlight sequence by:
identifying, by the computing system, a plurality of occurrences corresponding to the event;
determining, by the computing system, a user transition preference based on user data;
generating, by the computing system, based on the user transition preference, a transition between a first occurrence of the plurality of occurrences and a second occurrence of the plurality of occurrences;
assembling, by the computing system, a highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the transition.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the instructions further comprising:
receiving, by the computing system, the user data from a data store, wherein the user data includes at least one of: a user demographic, user purchasing behavior, user web viewing behavior, a user interest, or a user preference.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the transition withholds a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the instructions further comprising:
determining, by the computing system, an occurrence priority corresponding to each of the plurality of occurrences.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein assembling the highlight show comprises:
analyzing, by the computing system, the occurrence priority for each of the plurality of occurrences; and
based on the occurrence priority, selecting, by the computing system, a subset of the plurality of occurrences for inclusion in the highlight show.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein analyzing the occurrence priority includes comparing the occurrence priority to an occurrence priority threshold.
