Generating a playlist based on content meta data and user parameters
Systems and methods to generate a playlist based on content meta data. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving user-defined parameters; generating a playlist comprising a plurality of content portions, the generating comprising selecting the plurality of content portions from a data repository based on the user-defined parameters and further based on meta data for content stored in the data repository; and providing the playlist for display on a user device.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, user-defined parameters, the user-defined parameters received from a user for a playlist to be generated, the user-defined parameters including available equipment items and a time duration parameter specifying a total time for the playlist, and the playlist to comprise a plurality of content portions;
generating, by the computing device, the playlist, the generating comprising selecting and automatically arranging the plurality of content portions from a data repository based on the user-defined parameters and further based on meta data for content stored in the data repository; and
providing a preview form of the plurality of content portions, for display in a first window region to the user on a user device, and further providing, for display in a second window region adjacent to the preview form, first equipment needed for use in performing activities associated with the plurality of content portions of the preview form.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising defining an order of activity, wherein the generated playlist is further based on the order of activity.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an actual time duration of the playlist, for display on the user device, wherein the actual time duration is different from a total time specified by the time duration parameter.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-defined parameters further include respective time percentages for each of a plurality of types of activity.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the types of activity correspond to muscle groups.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an actual time duration of the playlist for display with the preview form.
7. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
receive user-defined parameters from a user for a playlist to be generated, the playlist to comprise a plurality of content portions, the user-defined parameters including available equipment items, and further including respective time percentages desired for each of a plurality of types of activity;
generate the playlist, the generating comprising selecting and automatically arranging the plurality of content portions from a data repository based on the user-defined parameters; and
provide a preview form of the plurality of content portions, for display in a first window region on a user device, and further provide, for display in a second window region adjacent to the preview form, first equipment for use in performing activities associated with the plurality of content portions of the preview.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the providing the preview form comprises sending data regarding the preview form from a server to the user device.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the selecting is further based on meta data for content stored in the data repository, the meta data comprising a meta-tag for each of a plurality of video clips.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user-defined parameters further include a time duration parameter specifying a total time for the playlist.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further configured to instruct the at least one processor to provide an actual time duration of the generated playlist, for display on the user device, wherein the actual time duration is different from a total time specified by the time duration parameter.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed, cause a computing system to:
receive, by at least one processor, user-defined parameters, the user-defined parameters received from a user for a playlist to be generated, the user-defined parameters including available equipment items and a time duration parameter specifying a total time for the playlist, and the playlist to comprise a plurality of content portions;
generate the playlist, the generating comprising randomly selecting and automatically arranging the plurality of content portions from a data repository based on the user-defined parameters and further based on meta data for content stored in the data repository; and
provide a preview form of the plurality of content portions, for display in a first window region on a user device, and further provide, for display in a second window region adjacent to the preview form, first equipment needed for use in performing activities associated with the plurality of content portions of the preview form.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , further comprising providing an actual time duration of the playlist for display with the preview form.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the playlist is sent for viewing on a display of the user device.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein each of the plurality of content portions is a video.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the playlist comprises links to the content portions.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the activation input is provided by the user in a user interface of the user device.
