Modifying content to be consumed based on profile and elapsed time
View Patent ↗A method and apparatus to distribute content to a user based on a consumption profile associated with the user is described. Based on the consumption profile associated with the user and a length of time between content creation and content consumption the content is modified. After the content is modified, the content is transmitted and/or provided to a user device.
1. A method comprising:
identifying a user profile;
obtaining a modified content from an original content in view of a content consumption based on the user profile, a content type, and a time period between a content creation and said content consumption, wherein different versions of the modified content obtained from said original content based on different user profiles and a same time period between said content creation and said content consumption have different durations; and
providing said modified content to a device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said modified content is at least one segment of said content, where the segment is shorter than the content.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a segment length for the at least one segment is modified based on the time period between the content creation time and the content consumption.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising identifying a first user profile and a second user profile.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein different segments are provided to the first user profile and the second user profile.
6. An apparatus comprising:
a processor for executing a set of instructions; and
a memory that stores the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions comprises:
identifying a user profile;
obtaining a modified content from an original content in view of a content consumption based on the user profile, a content type, and a time period between a content creation and said content consumption, wherein different versions of the modified content obtained from said original content based on different user profiles and a same time period between said content creation and said content consumption have different durations; and
providing said modified content to a device.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said modified content is at least one segment of said content, where the segment is shorter than the content.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a segment length for the at least one segment is modified based on the time period between the content creation and the content consumption.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising identifying a first user profile and a second user profile.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein different segments are provided to the first user profile and the second user profile.
11. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is a server.
12. A method comprising:
determining, for a content, a content type, and a content creation time;
identifying a user profile;
determining a content modification based on the user profile, the content type, and a time period between the content creation time and a time said content is to be consumed;
modifying said content based on the content modification; and
providing said modified content to a device associated with the user profile;
wherein, when two or more user profiles are to be provided with said content, and the time period is the same, modifying said content comprises modifying said content so that a duration of the modified content is not the same for the two or more user profiles.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein, when the content type is news or sports, less content is provided as the time period increases.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein said modified content is at least one segment of said content, where the segment is shorter than the content.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a segment length for the at least one segment is modified based on the time period.
16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising identifying a first user profile and a second user profile.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein different segments are provided to the first user profile and the second user profile.
