Systems and methods for providing recommendations based on short-media viewing profile and long-media viewing profile
Systems and methods are provided herein for providing recommendations to a user. A short-media viewing profile may be maintained for the user. The short-media viewing profile may be based on user's behavior while watching short-length media content. A long-media viewing profile may be maintained for the user. The long-media viewing profile may be based on user's behavior while watching long-length media content. In response to determining that the user is currently engaged in viewing short-length media content, a recommendation is provided to the user based on the short-media viewing profile. In response to determining that the user is currently engaged in viewing long-length media content, a recommendation is provided to the user based on the long-media viewing profile.

providing a recommendation item to the device, wherein the recommendation item is selected based on the profile data of the activated profile.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content item is a first content item, further comprising:
tracking behavior of the user while the user is engaged in watching a second content item having a first length of content, wherein the first length is in the first range of lengths;
generating the first viewing profile based on the user's behavior tracked when the user was engaged in watching the second content item;
tracking behavior of the user while the user is engaged in watching a third content item having a second length of content, wherein the second length is in the second range of lengths; and
generating the second viewing profile based on the user's behavior tracked when the user was engaged in watching the third content item.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, based on the length of the content item, whether to activate the first viewing profile or the second viewing profile comprises:
comparing the length of the content item to a length threshold, wherein lengths of the first range of lengths exceed the length threshold and lengths of the second range of lengths do not exceed the length threshold;
in response to determining that the length of the content item exceeds the length threshold, activating the first viewing profile; and
in response to determining that the length of the content item does not exceed the length threshold, activating the second viewing profile.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the recommendation item to the device, wherein the recommendation item is selected based on the profile data of the activated profile comprises:
in response to determining that the first viewing profile is active, providing the recommendation item having a third length of content, wherein the third length is in the first range of lengths; and
in response to determining that the second viewing profile is active, providing the recommendation item having a fourth length of content, wherein the fourth length is in the second range of lengths.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the recommendation item is an advertisement that has metadata that matches the profile data of the activated profile.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the first viewing profile comprises:
determining that the user is watching the second content item; and
in response to determining that the user is watching the second content item:
monitoring user requests for content during or immediately after the time when the second content item is played; and
storing profile data associated with the user requests.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the first viewing profile comprises:
determining that the user is watching second content item; and
in response to determining that the user is watching second content item:
providing an advertisement to the device during or immediately after the time when the second content item is played;
monitoring the user's response to the advertisement; and
in response to determining that the user's response was favorable, storing metadata associated with the advertisement.
8. A method for providing recommendations to a user, the method comprising:
receiving a content item;
determining, based on the length of the content item, whether to activate a first viewing profile or a second viewing profile, wherein the first profile comprises first profile data generated during transmission of content items of a first range of lengths, and wherein the second profile comprises second profile data generated during transmission of content items of a second range of lengths different from the first range of lengths; and
generating, for display, a recommendation item, wherein the recommendation item is selected based on the profile data of the activated profile.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the content item is a first content item, further comprising:
tracking behavior of the user while the user is engaged in watching a second content item having a first length of content;
generating the first viewing profile based on the user's behavior tracked when the user was engaged in watching the second content item;
tracking behavior of the user while the user is engaged in watching a third content item having a second length of content, different from the first length; and
generating the second viewing profile based on the user's behavior tracked when the user was engaged in watching the third content item.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining, based on the length of the content item, whether to activate the first viewing profile or the second viewing profile comprises:
comparing the length of the content item to a length threshold;
in response to determining that the length of the content item exceeds the length threshold, activating the first viewing profile; and
in response to determining that the length of the content item does not exceed the length threshold, activating the second viewing profile.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating, for display, the recommendation item, wherein the recommendation item is selected based on the profile data of the activated profile comprises:
in response to determining that the first viewing profile is active, generating, for display, the recommendation item having a third length of content, wherein the third length is in the first range of lengths; and
in response to determining that the second viewing profile is active, generating, for display, the recommendation item having a fourth length of content, wherein the fourth length is in the second range of lengths.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein, the recommendation item is an advertisement that has metadata that matches the profile data of the activated profile.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein generating the first viewing profile comprises:
determining that the user is watching the second content item; and
in response to determining that the user is watching the second content item:
monitoring user requests for content during or immediately after the time when the second content item is played; and
storing profile data associated with the user requests.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein generating the first viewing profile comprises:
determining that the user is watching second content item; and
in response to determining that the user is watching second content item:
generating, for display, an advertisement during or immediately after the time when the second content item is played;
monitoring the user's response to the advertisement; and
