Smart media device ecosystem using local data and remote social graph data
Techniques associated with a smart media ecosystem using local data and remote social graph data are described, including identifying an account associated with a user based on a detection of a presence of a compatible device, the compatible device being associated with the account in a profile, receiving an input indicating a request for media content, retrieving remote social graph data from a remote database, cross-referencing the remote social graph with profile data being stored locally, the profile data associated with media preferences, updating the profile data with a learned media preference generated by a learning module, selecting targeted media content based on the profile data, and sending a control signal to a media device, the control signal configured to cause the media device to output the targeted media content.
1. A method, comprising:
selecting, by a media content module implemented in a smart media device, targeted media content based on profile data associated with an account;
sending a control signal to a media device, the control signal configured to cause the media device to provide the targeted media content;
receiving an input, by the smart media device, the input indicating a request to share the targeted media content with a remote device;
generating, by the smart media device, data configured to cause a notification to be shared with a member of a social network associated with the account; and
sending, by a communications facility implemented by the smart media device, the data to a remote server associated with the social network,
wherein the smart media device is configured to receive remote social graph associated with another notification being shared by a member of the social network, the notification associated with another targeted media content, the remote social graph configured to cause the smart media device to output the another targeted media content.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input comprises receiving data from an application installed on the compatible device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input comprises detecting a button selection, the button selection invoking preprogrammed data indicating the request for media content.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input comprises receiving sensor data associated with an audio command.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input comprises receiving sensor data associated with a motion command.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the targeted media content comprises audio content and the control signal is configured to cause the media device to output the audio content.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the targeted media content comprises video content and the control signal is configured to cause the media device to output the video content.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the targeted media content comprises graphic content and the control signal is configured to cause the media device to display the graphic content.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the targeted media content comprises textual content and the control signal is configured to cause the media device to display the textual content.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a publication on a social network website.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a message pushed to a mobile device.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a message pushed to a wearable device.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a message pushed to another smart media device.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a vibration.
15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying another smart media device as being associated with a member of a user's social network; and
sending a control signal to the another smart media device using a remote server, the control signal configured to cause the another smart media device to output the targeted media content.
