Methods and systems for recommending content restrictions
Systems and methods are described herein for recommending content restrictions to a user based on chatter in a social network of the user. The system analyzes chatter in the social network to identify a correlation between what is posted by users and the content that the users are posting about. The system stores a mapping between chatter and expected attributes of the content referenced by the chatter. The system will determine whether to block the content when an expected attribute is associated with a content restriction.
1. A method comprising:
associating an indication from a social network with a content restriction for a media asset; and
based on the associating the indication from the social network with the content restriction for the media asset, generating for display a first interface including the indication and a first selectable option to display an action related to the content restriction; and
in response to a selection of the first selectable option, generating for display a second interface comprising a second selectable option to perform the action related to the content restriction.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising identifying a correlation between the indication from the social network with a media characteristic associated with the media asset.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the correlation includes a number of times the indication from the social network appears with respect to the media characteristic associated with the media asset.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the indication is a specific phrase.
5. The method of claim 4 , comprising determining a historic trend between the specific phrase from the social media and a media characteristic associated with the media asset.
6. The method of claim 5 , comprising predicting, based on the historic trend, that the specific phrase from the social media is associated with the media characteristic associated with the media asset.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action includes at least one of blocking the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, blocking a series including the media asset, or canceling the action.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action includes blocking a series including the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, and canceling the action.
9. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
associating a user identification of a first user with the social network;
retrieving, from a data structure based on the user identification of the first user, a plurality of previous indications including the indication from the social network of the first user, wherein the data structure stores indications of users and corresponding user identifications; and
analyzing the retrieved plurality of previous indications from the social network of the first user to identify mappings between previous indications and media characteristics, wherein each respective previous indication is associated with a respective media asset of a plurality of media assets, and wherein each respective mapping is identified based on determining that the respective previous indication corresponds to a media characteristic of the respective media asset.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is a first indication, the method comprising:
based on determining that the first indication matches a second indication in a mapping of previous indications: analyzing previous indications from the social network of a first user to identify the mapping between the previous indications and media characteristics;
associating the media asset with a first previous indication; and
identifying a media characteristic associated with the second indication previously associated with a content restriction.
11. A system comprising:
circuitry configured to:
associate an indication from a social network with a content restriction for a media asset; and
based on the associating the indication from the social network with the content restriction for the media asset, generate for display a first interface including the indication and a first selectable option to display an action related to the content restriction; and
in response to a selection of the first selectable option, generate for display a second interface including a second selectable option to perform the action related to the content restriction.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the circuitry is configured to identify a correlation between the indication from the social network with a media characteristic associated with the media asset.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the correlation includes a number of times the indication from the social network appears with respect to the media characteristic associated with the media asset.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the indication is a specific phrase.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the circuitry is configured to determine a historic trend between the specific phrase from the social media and a media characteristic associated with the media asset.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the circuitry is configured to predict, based on the historic trend, that the specific phrase from the social media is associated with the media characteristic associated with the media asset.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the action includes at least one of blocking the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, blocking a series including the media asset, or canceling the action.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the action includes blocking a series including the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, and canceling the action.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
associate a user identification of a first user with the social network;
retrieve, from a data structure based on the user identification of the first user, a plurality of previous indications including the indication from the social network of the first user, wherein the data structure stores indications of users and corresponding user identifications; and
analyze the retrieved plurality of previous indications from the social network of the first user to identify mappings between previous indications and media characteristics, wherein each respective previous indication is associated with a respective media asset of a plurality of media assets, and wherein each respective mapping is identified based on determining that the respective previous indication corresponds to a media characteristic of the respective media asset.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the indication is a first indication, and wherein the circuitry is configured to:
based on determining that the first indication matches a second indication in a mapping of previous indications: analyze previous indications from the social network of a first user to identify the mapping between the previous indications and media characteristics;
associate the media asset with a first previous indication; and
identify a media characteristic associated with the second indication previously associated with a content restriction.
