Methods, systems, and products for customizing content-access lists
View Patent ↗Systems, methods, and computer program products describe customizing the presentation of a content-access list. A preference for a subscriber is received, and a content database is searched for content related to the preference and for content unrelated to the preference. An option list is received including an option, and a non-preference-related option is also received. The non-preference-related option is added to the option list, and the option list is sent to the subscriber.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving at a processor a preference for a subscriber from a content-access-history database;
searching a content database for content related to the preference;
searching the content database for content unrelated to the preference;
receiving at the processor an option list from the content database, wherein the option list comprises an option;
receiving a non-preference-related option from the content database;
adding the non-preference-related option to the option list; and
sending the option list to the subscriber.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising wirelessly accessing the option list.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising generating a list of movies.
4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising sorting the list of movies according to the preference.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the non-preference-related option comprises receiving purchase information.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the non-preference-related option comprises receiving a history.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the non-preference-related option comprises receiving credit card purchase information.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the non-preference-related option comprises receiving demographic information.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the non-preference-related option comprises receiving a questionnaire.
10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving a profile of the subscriber.
11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising sorting the option list by genre.
12. A system, comprising:
a processor executing code that causes the processor to:
receive a preference for a subscriber from a content-access-history database;
search a content database for content related to the preference;
search the content database for content unrelated to the preference;
receive an option list from the content database, wherein the option list comprises an option;
receive a non-preference-related option from the content database;
add the non-preference-related option to the option list; and
send the option list to the subscriber.
13. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for wirelessly accessing the option list.
14. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for generating a list of movies.
15. The system according to claim 14 , further comprising code for sorting the list of movies according to the preference.
16. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for receiving purchase information.
17. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for receiving a history.
18. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for receiving credit card purchase information.
19. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for receiving demographic information.
20. The system according to claim 12 , further comprising code for receiving a profile of the subscriber.
21. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the preference is genre.
22. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:
receiving a preference for a subscriber from a content-access-history database;
searching a content database for content related to the preference;
searching the content database for content unrelated to the preference;
receiving an option list from the content database, wherein the option list comprises an option;
receiving a non-preference-related option from the content database;
adding the non-preference-related option to the option list; and
sending the option list to the subscriber.
23. A method, comprising:
receiving a preference for a subscriber at a processor;
searching a content database for content related to the preference;
searching the content database for content unrelated to the preference;
receiving at the processor an option list associated with the preference;
receiving at the processor an option that is unrelated to the preference; and
adding the option to the option list.
24. A method, comprising:
receiving at a processor a genre preference for a subscriber;
searching a content database for content related to the genre preference;
searching the content database for content unrelated to the genre preference;
generating an option list by the processor that is associated with the genre preference;
receiving an option that is unrelated to the genre preference; and
generating another option list comprising the option.
