Abstract

Systems and methods publishing content are disclosed herein. A content item for publication on a multimedia platform is received, and a first plurality of users within a first radius are detected. The content item is published to the first plurality of users and first data of the interaction of the first plurality of users with the content item is collected. Thereafter, an engagement score based on the first data is calculated. In response to the engagement score being above a first threshold, a second plurality of users within a second radius is detected, wherein the second radius is larger than the first radius and publishing the content item to the second plurality of users.

Claims (47)

1. A method of publishing content, the method comprising: receiving, at a multimedia platform, a content item for publication on the multimedia platform;

detecting a first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, wherein a particular user is detected as idle when the particular user is determined to be engaged with the multimedia platform and a device of the particular user has not received a user interface input selecting a content item that is to be generated for display;

in response to detecting the first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, publishing the content item to the first plurality of devices of idle users via the multimedia platform;

collecting first data of an interaction of the first plurality of devices of idle users with the content item on the multimedia platform;

calculating an engagement score based on the first data; and

in response to the engagement score being above a first threshold, detecting a second plurality of devices of idle users connected to the multimedia platform within a second radius, wherein the second radius is larger than the first radius and publishing the content item to the second plurality of devices of idle users.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a location associated with the content item; and

wherein the first and second radius are concentric with the location associated with the content item.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the location is determined by: receiving an indication of the location from the devices of idle users, detecting location metadata, or via a GPS system.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting second data of an interaction of the second plurality of devices of idle users with the content item;

updating the engagement score based on the second data; and

in response to the engagement score being above a second threshold, detecting a third plurality of devices of idle users connected to the multimedia platform within a third radius, wherein the third radius is larger than the second radius and publishing the content item to the third plurality of devices of idle users.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first data comprises: a number of likes, a number of dislikes, a number of comments, a number of views, a representation of user engagement, a watch time, a number of shares, an indication of music, an identification of an object, an identification of a place, an identification of people, and identification of an animal, an identification of an action, an identification of writing, an identification of known landmarks, length of the content item, a topic of the content item, or natural language processing data.

6. A media device comprising control circuitry, the control circuitry configured to:

receive a content item for publication on a multimedia platform;

detect a first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, wherein a particular user is detected as idle when the particular user is determined to be engaged with the multimedia platform and a device of the particular user has not received a user interface input selecting a content item that is to be generated for display;

in response to detecting the first plurality of devices connected with idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, publish the content item to the first plurality of devices connected with idle users via the multimedia platform;

collect first data of an interaction of the first plurality of devices of idle users with the content item on the multimedia platform;

calculate an engagement score based on the first data; and

in response to the engagement score being above a first threshold, detect a second plurality of devices of idle users of the multimedia platform within a second radius, wherein the second radius is larger than the first radius, and publish the content item to the second plurality of devices of idle users.

7. The media device of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a location associated with the content item; and

wherein the first and second radius are concentric with the location associated with the content item.

8. The media device of claim 7 , wherein the location is determined by: receiving an indication of the location from the devices of idle users, detecting location metadata, or via a GPS system.

9. The media device of claim 6 , further comprising:

collect second data of an interaction of the second plurality of devices of idle users with the content item;

update the engagement score based on the second data; and

in response to the engagement score being above a second threshold, detect a third plurality of devices of idle users of the multimedia platform within a third radius, wherein the third radius is larger than the second radius, and publish the content item to the third plurality of devices of idle users.

10. The media device of claim 9 , wherein the first data comprises: a number of likes, a number of dislikes, a number of comments, a number of views, a representation of user engagement, a watch time, a number of shares, an indication of music, an identification of an object, an identification of a place, an identification of people, and identification of an animal, an identification of an action, an identification of writing, an identification of known landmarks, length of the content item, a topic of the content item, or natural language processing data.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon for carrying out a method, the method comprising:

receiving, at a multimedia platform, a content item for publication on the multimedia platform;

detecting a first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, wherein a particular user is detected as idle when the particular user is determined to be engaged with the multimedia platform and a device of the particular user has not received a user interface input selecting a content item that is to be generated for display;

in response to detecting the first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, publishing the content item to the first plurality of devices of idle users via the multimedia platform;

collecting first data of an interaction of the first plurality of devices of idle users with the content item on the multimedia platform;

calculating an engagement score based on the first data; and

in response to the engagement score being above a first threshold, detecting a second plurality of devices of idle users connected to the multimedia platform within a second radius, wherein the second radius is larger than the first radius and publishing the content item to the second plurality of devices of idle users.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining a location associated with the content item; and

wherein the first and second radius are concentric with the location associated with the content item.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to detecting the first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, publishing the content item only to devices within the first plurality of devices of idle users via the multimedia platform.

14. A media device of claim 6 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to in response to detecting the first plurality of devices of idle users communicatively connected to the multimedia platform within a first radius, publish the content item only to devices within the first plurality of devices of idle users via the multimedia platform.
