Abstract

The methods and systems described herein provide personalized action items for content items. In one example, the methods and systems identify a plurality of content items, each of which is associated with at least one respective attribute. The system accesses profile information associated with a content consumption session. For each of the plurality of content items, the system determines at least one respective actionable item based on the at least one attribute and on the profile information. The system causes to be displayed the landing interface, which includes a plurality of simultaneously displayed content item identifiers associated with the plurality of content items, respectively, and proximate to each of the displayed content item identifiers, causing to be displayed at least one respective actionable item identifier associated with the at least one respective actionable item, respectively.

Claims (40)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining that profile information associated with an account indicates: (a) that a first content item was previously consumed, and (b) a manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, wherein the manner in which the first content was previously consumed comprises one or more of playing with concurrent subtitles the content item, playing a recap of the content item, renting the content item, or purchasing the content item;

identifying a second content item as being related to the first content item;

in response to the identifying the second content item, determining based on the profile information associated with the account that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account;

in response to the determining that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account and in response to the determining the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, selecting a consumption option as an actionable item for the second content item, wherein the consumption option includes the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed; and

causing to be displayed:

an interface comprising a display of an identifier of the second content item and an indication of the consumption option as the actionable item for the second content item proximate to the second content item.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed comprises a first language in which the first content item was previously consumed and a concurrent display of subtitles in a second language during consumption of the first content item, and wherein causing to be displayed the consumption option comprises causing to be displayed an identification of the first language in which the second content item will be consumed and displaying an identification of subtitles in the second language for concurrent display with the second content item.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising, prior to consumption of the first content item, determining a manner in which the first content item will be consumed based on the profile information.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising, prior to consumption of the first content item, causing to be displayed on the interface, the first content item and a first consumption option as an actionable item for the first content item, wherein the first consumption option includes the determined manner in which the first content item will be consumed.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the manner in which the first content item will be consumed comprises a language in which the first content item will be consumed, and wherein determining the manner based on the profile information comprises determining that the profile information indicates that a user is fluent in the language.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the manner in which the first content item will be consumed comprises a language of subtitles to be displayed concurrently with the first content item, and wherein determining the manner based on the profile information comprises determining that the profile information indicates that the user is fluent in the language.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of content items is associated with at least one respective attribute and wherein the second content item is selected based on the at least one respective attribute corresponding to the second content item.

8. A system comprising:

a memory storing profile information;

control circuitry configured to:

determine that profile information associated with an account indicates: (a) that a first content item was previously consumed, and (b) a manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, wherein the manner in which the first content was previously consumed comprises one or more of playing with concurrent subtitles the content item, playing a recap of the content item, renting the content item, or purchasing the content item;

identify a second content item as related to the first content item;

in response to the identifying the second content item, determine based on the profile information associated with the account that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account; and

in response to the determining that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account and in response to the determining the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, select a consumption option as an actionable item for the second content item, wherein the consumption option includes the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed; and

input/output circuitry configured to cause to be displayed:

an interface, wherein the interface comprises a display of an identifier of the second content item; and

the consumption option as the actionable item for the second content item proximate to the second content item.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed comprises a first language in which the first content item was previously consumed and a concurrent display of subtitles in a second language during consumption of the first content item, and wherein input/output circuitry is configured to, when causing display to be the consumption option, cause to be displayed an identification of the first language in which the second content item will be consumed and displaying an identification of subtitles in the second language for concurrent display with the second content item.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, prior to consumption of the first content item, determine a manner in which the first content item will be consumed based on the profile information.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to, prior to consumption of the first content item, cause to be displayed on the interface, the first content item and a first consumption option as an actionable item for the first content item, wherein the first consumption option includes the determined manner in which the first content item will be consumed.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the manner in which the first content item will be consumed comprises a language in which the first content item will be consumed, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, when determining the manner based on the profile information, determine that the profile information indicates that a user is fluent in the language.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the manner in which the first content item will be consumed comprises a language of subtitles to be displayed concurrently with the first content item, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, when determining the manner based on the profile information, determine that the profile information indicates that the user is fluent in the language.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of content items is associated with at least one respective attribute and wherein the control circuitry is configured to select the second content item based on the at least one respective attribute corresponding to the second content item.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining that profile information associated with an account indicates: (a) that a first content item was previously watched, and (b) a manner in which the first content item was previously watched;

identifying a second content item as being related to the first content item;

in response to the identifying of the second content item, determining based on the profile information associated with the account that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account;

in response to both the determining that the second content item is available to be played when requested in association with the account and the determining the manner in which the first content item was previously watched, selecting a watch option as an actionable item for the second content item, wherein the selected watch option includes the manner in which the first content item was previously watched; and

causing to be displayed:

a user interface comprising a display of an identifier of the second content item and an indication, proximate the second content item, of the selected watch option as the actionable item for the second content item.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the manner in which the first content was previously watched comprises one or more of playing with concurrent subtitles the content item, playing a recap of the content item, renting the content item, or purchasing the content item.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 further comprising, prior to the watching of the first content item, determining a manner in which the first content item will be watched based on the profile information.
