Abstract

A method for serving an audio-only shared content on a video sharing web site, including: receiving a playlist listing a plurality of videos; determining a content identification (content-id) for the plurality of the videos in the playlist; determining that the content-id for the plurality of videos corresponds to an audio-related category; selecting audio-only shared content based on the determination that the content-id corresponds to the audio-related category; and inserting the audio-only shared content between two of the plurality of videos.

Claims (28)

1. A method to predict relevant media content to be added to a playlist of a user of a content sharing platform, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a playlist comprising information indicative of existing videos contained in the playlist, wherein the existing videos comprise audio content and video content served by a content sharing platform via a network;

predicting whether the relevant media content to be added to the playlist is an audio-only media item or a video by:

determining that a mobile device is moving; and

responsive to determining that the mobile device is moving, selecting, by the processor, the audio-only media item rather than a video media item; and

inserting, by the processor, the audio-only media item between two different videos of the existing videos of the playlist.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising evaluating a genre of at least one of the existing videos.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising evaluating a musical artist of at least one of the existing videos.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining whether at least one of the existing videos comprises audio-consumed media.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the existing videos is a user-created video.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising analyzing the existing videos to determine an associated user preference.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising monetizing the audio-only media item by sharing revenue with an owner of a preceding one of the existing videos and an owner of a succeeding one of the existing videos in which the audio-only media item is inserted between.

8. A system to predict relevant media content to be added to a playlist of a user of a content sharing platform, the system comprising:

a memory;

a processor, coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

receive a playlist comprising information indicative of existing videos contained in the playlist, wherein the existing videos comprise audio content and video content served by a content sharing platform via a network;

predict whether the relevant media content to be added to the playlist is an audio-only media item or a video, comprising operations, performed by the processor, to:

determine that a mobile device is moving; and

responsive to determining that the mobile device is moving, select the audio-only media item rather than a video media item; and

insert the audio-only media item between two different videos of the existing videos of the playlist.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to evaluate a genre of at least one of the existing videos.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to evaluate a musical artist of at least one of the existing videos.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether at least one of the existing videos comprises audio-consumed media.

12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the existing videos is a user-created video.

13. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to analyze the existing videos to determine an associated user preference.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising analyzing a visual cue in at least one existing video on the playlist.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether at least one existing video consists of a banner.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that at least one existing video on the playlist includes a user-added song over video.
