Abstract

Claims (72)

1. A method comprising:

storing information related to a sporting event;

determining a level of interest of a user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event;

determining the sporting event has concluded;

determining an amount representing a difference between a notification frequency threshold and the level of interest;

comparing the amount to a device threshold; and

based at least in part on determining the amount exceeds the device threshold:

selecting a first device of a plurality of devices associated with the user; and

presenting a notification to the user comprising the stored information related to the sporting event, at the first device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based at least in part on determining the amount does not exceed the device threshold:

selecting a second device of the plurality of devices associated with the user; and

presenting the notification to the user comprising the stored information related to the sporting event, at the second device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based at least in part on determining a performance metric associated with the sporting event contains a score and further based at least in part on detecting the sporting event has concluded:

accessing score information related to the sporting event to retrieve a final outcome of the sporting event;

analyzing the final outcome to determine whether a team supported by the user won or lost the sporting event.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

based at least in part on determining the team supported by the user won the sporting event:

presenting a notification for the user indicating the team supported by the user won the sporting event.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

based at least in part on determining the team supported by the user lost the sporting event:

refraining from presenting a notification for the user indicating the team supported by the user lost the sporting event.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the level of interest of the user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event is based on a second level of interest of the user in a performance of the sporting event.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one of a type associated with the sporting event and a competition level associated with the sporting event; and

searching a database, based on the determined at least one of the type and the competition level, to identify the notification frequency threshold of a plurality of notification frequency thresholds associated with the at least one of the type and the competition level, wherein a first notification frequency threshold associated with at least one of a first type of sporting event and a first competition level is lower than a second notification frequency threshold associated with at least one of a second type of sporting event and a second competition level.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the sporting event comprises at least one of: a change to player statistics, a scoring event, a team formation change, a lineup change, a tournament update and timing information.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing a social network to determine an amount of chatter relating to the sporting event; and

dynamically adjusting a weight associated with the level of interest of the user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event based on the amount of chatter relating to the sporting event.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an attribute of the sporting event by:

retrieving at least one of a type of the sporting event, a level of a competitor in a competition, a player in the sporting event, and a team in the sporting event; and

storing a preference level for the user in a user profile for the attribute.

11. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a control circuitry configured to:

store information related to a sporting event in the memory;

determine a level of interest of a user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event;

detect the sporting event has concluded;

determine an amount representing a difference between a notification frequency threshold and the level of interest;

compare the amount to a device threshold; and

based at least in part on determining the amount exceeds the device threshold:

select a first device of a plurality of devices associated with the user; and

present a notification to the user comprising the stored information related to the sporting event, at the first device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

based at least in part on determining the amount does not exceed the device threshold:

select a second device of the plurality of devices associated with the user; and

present the notification to the user comprising the stored information related to the sporting event, at the second device.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

based at least in part on determining a performance metric associated with the sporting event contains a score and further based at least in part on detecting the sporting event has concluded:

access score information related to the sporting event to retrieve a final outcome of the sporting event;

analyze the final outcome to determine whether a team supported by the user won or lost the sporting event.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

based at least in part on determining the team supported by the user won the sporting event:

present a notification for the user indicating the team supported by the user won the sporting event.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

based at least in part on determining the team supported by the user lost the sporting event:

refrain from presenting a notification for the user indicating the team supported by the user lost the sporting event.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the level of interest of the user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event is based on a second level of interest of the user in a performance of the sporting event.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

determine at least one of a type associated with the sporting event and a competition level associated with the sporting event; and

search a database, based on the determined at least one of the type and the competition level, to identify the notification frequency threshold of a plurality of notification frequency thresholds associated with the at least one of the type and the competition level, wherein a first notification frequency threshold associated with at least one of a first type of sporting event and a first competition level is lower than a second notification frequency threshold associated with at least one of a second type of sporting event and a second competition level.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the information related to the sporting event comprises at least one of: a change to player statistics, a scoring event, a team formation change, a lineup change, a tournament update and timing information.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

access a social network to determine an amount of chatter relating to the sporting event; and

dynamically adjust a weight associated with the level of interest of the user in receiving notifications related to the sporting event based on the amount of chatter relating to the sporting event.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

determine an attribute of the sporting event by:

retrieving at least one of a type of the sporting event, a level of a competitor in a competition, a player in the sporting event, and a team in the sporting event; and

storing a preference level for the user in a user profile for the attribute.
