Method and system for providing “what's next” data
A system and method for generating a list of content is disclosed. A processor may store in memory at least one content preference of a user, may store at least one non-user content preference of at least one entity other than the user, may associate the at least one non-user content preference with the user, and may generate the content list based on a combination of the at least one content preference of the user and the at least one non-user content preference for output to the user.
1. A computer-implemented data generation method, comprising:
storing at least one content preference of a first user;
storing at least one non-user content preference, which is at least one content preference of at least one entity other than the first user;
associating the at least one non-user content preference with the first user; and
generating, by a computer processor, a content list based on a combination of the stored at least one content preference of the user and the stored at least one non-user content preference for output to the first user;
for display of the content list, overlaying the content list on ending credits of a program.
2. A computer-implemented data generation method, comprising:
storing at least one content preference of a first user;
storing at least one non-user content preference, which is at least one content preference of at least one entity other than the first user;
associating the at least one non-user content preference with the first user; and
generating, by a computer processor, a content list based on a combination of the stored at least one content preference of the user and the stored at least one non-user content preference for output to the first user; and
displaying the content list in an intermission screen provided when a program is paused.
3. A computer-implemented data generation method, comprising:
storing at least one content preference of a first user;
storing at least one non-user content preference, which is at least one content preference of at least one entity other than the first user;
associating the at least one non-user content preference with the first user; and
generating, by a computer processor, a content list based on a combination of the stored at least one content preference of the user and the stored at least one non-user content preference for output to the first user;
for content listed in the content list that is available for playback on demand, generating a virtual linear playback channel including the content, wherein the virtual linear playback channel linearly plays back the content when the channel is active.
