METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RECOMMENDING MEDIA CONTENT RELATED TO A RECENTLY COMPLETED ACTIVITY
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that recommends media content based on activities recently performed by a user. For example, in response to determining that a user recently finished the laundry, the media guidance application may recommend a movie that other users accessed after finishing the laundry.
1 .- 50 . (canceled)
51 . A method for recommending media content, the method comprising:
detecting performance of an activity unrelated to media consumption;
retrieving activity data related to the activity unrelated to media consumption;
determining a media asset by cross-referencing the activity unrelated to media consumption with a database associated with activity relationships; and
generating, at a user device, a recommendation of the media asset.
52 . The method of claim 51 , wherein retrieving activity data related to the activity unrelated to media consumption comprises retrieving the activity data from at least one of a user or an electronic device.
53 . The method of claim 51 , wherein detecting performance of an activity unrelated to media consumption is based on a mobile electronic device being located within a threshold distance of an electronic device that is used to perform the activity.
54 . The method of claim 51 , further comprising, determining that the media asset is available following the activity unrelated to media consumption, wherein the determination comprises:
determining a time of completion for the activity unrelated to media consumption; and
determining whether the media asset corresponding to a retrieved identifier is available at the time of completion.
55 . The method of claim 51 , further comprising:
determining a type of user equipment available based on the activity unrelated to media consumption;
identifying a user device of the type of determined user equipment; and
wherein generating a recommendation of the media asset is at the identified user device.
56 . The method of claim 55 , wherein the determining the type of user equipment comprises:
determining whether the type of user equipment available corresponds to presenting the media asset corresponding to a retrieved identifier; and
in response to determining the type of user equipment available does not correspond to presenting the media asset corresponding to the retrieved identifier, selecting a different media asset.
57 . The method of claim 51 , wherein the database indicates subject matters for each of the media assets, and wherein determining a media asset further comprises determining whether a subject matter of the media asset corresponds to the activity unrelated to media consumption.
58 . The method of claim 51 , wherein the received activity data is received from a home appliance associated with cooking or cleaning, a door associated with an open state or a closed state, a security system associated with monitoring movement within a household, media equipment associated with presenting media, an electronic device associated with an active mode or an inactive mode, or a vehicle associated with transporting a user.
59 . A system for recommending media content, the system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
detect performance of an activity unrelated to media consumption;
retrieve activity data related to the activity unrelated to media consumption;
determine a media asset by cross-referencing the activity unrelated to media consumption with a database associated with activity relationships; and
generate, at a user device, a recommendation of the media asset.
60 . The system of claim 59 , wherein retrieving activity data related to the activity unrelated to media consumption comprises retrieving the activity data from at least one of a user or an electronic device.
61 . The system of claim 59 , wherein detecting performance of an activity unrelated to media consumption is based on a mobile electronic device being located within a threshold distance of an electronic device that is used to perform the activity.
62 . The system of claim 59 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine that the media asset is available following the activity unrelated to media consumption, wherein the determination comprises:
determining a time of completion for the activity unrelated to media consumption; and
determining whether the media asset corresponding to a retrieved identifier is available at the time of completion.
63 . The method of claim 59 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine a type of user equipment available based on the activity unrelated to media consumption;
identify a user device of the type of determined user equipment; and
wherein generating a recommendation of the media asset is at the identified user device.
64 . The system of claim 63 , wherein the control circuitry for determining the type of user equipment is further configured to:
determine whether the type of user equipment available corresponds to presenting the media asset corresponding to a retrieved identifier; and
in response to determining the type of user equipment available does not correspond to presenting the media asset corresponding to the retrieved identifier, select a different media asset.
65 . The system of claim 59 , wherein the database indicates subject matters for each of the media assets, and wherein determining a media asset further comprises determining whether a subject matter of the media asset corresponds to the activity unrelated to media consumption.
66 . The system of claim 59 , wherein the received activity data is received from a home appliance associated with cooking or cleaning, a door associated with an open state or a closed state, a security system associated with monitoring movement within a household, media equipment associated with presenting media, an electronic device associated with an active mode or an inactive mode, or a vehicle associated with transporting a user.
