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:
receiving, from a device associated with a user, a request to schedule playing of a content item, wherein the request specifies a scheduled time for playing the content item;
determining whether the device associated with the user was used to play the content item at the scheduled time;
based at least in part on determining the device associated with the user was not used to play the content item at the scheduled time, generating, for output at the device associated with the user, a reminder to reschedule playing of the content item;
determining whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received; and
based at least in part on determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received, automatically rescheduling playing of the content item, wherein the playing is automatically rescheduled for a rescheduled time later than the scheduled time.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing to stop the generating, for output at the device associated with the user, the reminder to reschedule playing of the content item.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, for output at the device associated with the user, prior to or at the rescheduled time, a reminder to consume the content item.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the device associated with the user was used to play the content item within a predetermined time from the scheduled time, wherein:
generating, for output at the device associated with the user, a reminder to reschedule playing of the content item is further based on determining the device associated with the user was not used to play the content item within the predetermined time from the scheduled time.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received comprises determining whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received within a predetermined time from the scheduled time.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the device associated with the user is a first device; and
determining whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received comprises:
determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received from the first device; and
based at least in part on determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received from the first device, generating, for output at a second device associated with the user, a reminder to reschedule playing of the content item.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the device associated with the user was used to play the content item at the scheduled time comprises determining whether the device associated with the user was used to access a content platform at the scheduled time.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the rescheduled time based at least in part on a scheduled future event identified in a user profile associated with the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the scheduled future event corresponds to a time when the user associated with the user profile is in transit.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the scheduled future event is a scheduled flight of the user associated with the user profile.
11. A system comprising:
communication circuitry configured to receive, from a device associated with a user, a request to schedule playing of a content item, wherein the request specifies a scheduled time for playing the content item; and
control circuitry further configured to:
determine whether the device associated with the user was used to play the content item at the scheduled time;
based at least in part on determining the device associated with the user was not used to play the content item at the scheduled time, generate, for output at the device associated with the user, a reminder to reschedule playing of the content item;
determine whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received; and
based at least in part on determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received, automatically reschedule playing of the content item, wherein the playing is automatically rescheduled for a rescheduled time later than the scheduled time.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause to stop the generating, for output at the device associated with the user, the reminder to reschedule playing of the content item.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate, for output at the device associated with the user, prior to or at the rescheduled time, a reminder to consume the content item.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine whether the device associated with the user was used to play the content item within a predetermined time from the scheduled time; and
generate, for output at the device associated with the user, the reminder to reschedule playing of the content item based on determining the device associated with the user was not used to play the content item within the predetermined time from the scheduled time.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received by determining whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received within a predetermined time from the scheduled time.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein:
the device associated with the user is a first device; and
the control circuitry is configured to determine whether a request to reschedule playing of the content item has been received by:
determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received from the first device; and
based at least in part on determining a request to reschedule playing of the content item has not been received from the first device, generating, for output at a second device associated with the user, a reminder to reschedule playing of the content item.
