Dynamic scheduling of content
Systems and methods are provided for recommending and dynamically scheduling content. A time when a request to consume a content item is likely to be received is identified and an identifier of the content item is displayed on a device. Prior to the identified time, an option to consume, at the identified time, the content item is also displayed on the device. In response to the option being selected, the device stops displaying the identifier of the content item until the identified time.
1. A method comprising:
identifying, based on a scheduled future event identified in a user profile, a time when a request to consume a content item is likely to be received;
prior to the identified time, generating, for a device associated with the user profile, a display of an identifier of the content item and an option to consume, at the identified time, the content item;
receiving a selection of the option to consume;
in response to the receiving of the option to consume, causing the device to stop displaying the identifier of the content item until the identified time; and
causing the device to display the content item at the identified time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of the time when the request to consume the content item is likely to be received comprises:
determining, based on historical data in the user profile, that a user associated with the user profile is likely to be interested in the content item.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled future event corresponds to a time when a user associated with the user profile is in transit.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled future event is a scheduled flight of a user associated with the user profile.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
at the identified time, causing the device to resume displaying of the identifier of the content item.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is a first device, and wherein the method further comprises:
at the identified time, transmitting, to a second device, a reminder to consume the content item.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display of the identifier of the content item and the option to consume comprises an indication that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the display of the identifier of the content item and the option to consume comprises an indication that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time and identifies the scheduled future event.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining that the content item was not consumed at the identified time;
in response to the determining that the content item was not consumed at the identified time, generating for display at the device a display of the identifier of the content item and a second option to consume, at a modified time, the content item,
wherein the second option to consume the content item is displayed simultaneously with the identifier of the content item and indicates that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time and identifies the scheduled future event;
receiving a selection of the second option to consume; and
in response to the receiving of the selection of the second option, causing the device to stop displaying the identifier of the content item until the modified time.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the modified time is identified based on a second scheduled future event identified in the user profile.
11. A system comprising:
processing circuitry configured:
to identify, based on a scheduled future event identified in a user profile, a time when a request to consume a content item is likely to be received; and
prior to the identified time, to generate, for a device associated with the user profile, a display of an identifier of the content item and an option to consume, at the identified time, the content item;
communication circuitry configured to receive a selection of the option to consume; and
the processing circuitry further configured:
in response to the receiving of the option to consume, to cause the device to stop displaying the identifier of the content item until the identified time; and
to cause the device to display the content item at the identified time.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying of the time when the request to consume the content item is likely to be received comprises:
determining, based on historical data in the user profile, that a user associated with the user profile is likely to be interested in the content item.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the scheduled future event corresponds to a time when a user associated with the user profile is in transit.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the scheduled future event is a scheduled flight of a user associated with the user profile.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured, at the identified time, to cause the device to resume displaying of the identifier of the content item.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the device is a first device, and the processing circuitry is further configured, at the identified time, to transmit, to a second device, a reminder to consume the content item.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the display of the identifier of the content item and the option to consume comprises an indication that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the display of the identifier of the content item and the option to consume comprises an indication that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time and identifies the scheduled future event.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured:
to determine that the content item was not consumed at the identified time;
in response to the determining that the content item was not consumed at the identified time, to generate for display at the device a display of the identifier of the content item and a second option to consume, at a modified time, the content item,
wherein the second option to consume the content item is displayed simultaneously with the identifier of the content item and indicates that the content item is available to be consumed at the identified time and identifies the scheduled future event;
to receive a selection of the second option to consume; and
in response to the receiving of the selection of the second option, to cause the device to stop displaying the identifier of the content item until the modified time.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the modified time is identified based on a second scheduled future event identified in the user profile.
