Abstract

The methods and systems described herein provide personalized action items for content items. In one example, the methods and systems identify a plurality of content items, each of which is associated with at least one respective attribute. The system accesses profile information associated with a content consumption session. For each of the plurality of content items, the system determines at least one respective actionable item based on the at least one attribute and on the profile information. The system causes to be displayed the landing interface, which includes a plurality of simultaneously displayed content item identifiers associated with the plurality of content items, respectively, and proximate to each of the displayed content item identifiers, causing to be displayed at least one respective actionable item identifier associated with the at least one respective actionable item, respectively.

Claims (48)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining that profile information associated with an account indicates: (a) that a first content item was previously consumed, and (b) an attribute indicating a manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, wherein the manner in which the first content was previously consumed comprises one or more of playing with concurrent subtitles the content item, playing a recap of the content item, renting the content item, or purchasing the content item;

identifying a second content item related to the first content item;

selecting a first consumption option for the first content item;

selecting a second consumption option for the second content item based on the attribute indicating the manner in which the first content item was previous consumed, wherein the second consumption option is selected for the second content item to be different from the first consumption option selected for the first content item; and

generating for display a user interface comprising:

(a) an identifier of the first content item proximate to an indication of the first consumption option for the first content item; and

(b) an identifier of the second content item proximate to an indication of the second consumption option for the second content item.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first consumption option for the first content item is watching a recap.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selection of the first consumption option for the first content item is not based on the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed comprises a first language in which the first content item was previously consumed and a concurrent display of subtitles in a second language during consumption of the first content item, and

wherein the second consumption option for the second content item comprises an identification of the first language in which the second content item is to be consumed and an identification of subtitles in the second language.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the generating for display of the user interface comprises simultaneously displaying as a single display: (a) the indication of the first consumption option for the first content item, as a user actionable item, proximate to the identifier of the first content item, and (b) the indication of the second consumption option for the second content item, as a user actionable item, proximate to the identifier of the second content item.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

prior to the previous consumption of the first content item, determining a manner in which the first content item was to be consumed based on the profile information.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was to be consumed comprises a language soundtrack with which the first content item was to be consumed, and

wherein determining the manner based on the profile information comprises determining that the profile information indicates that a user is fluent in the language.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second consumption option for the second content item comprises a language of subtitles to be displayed concurrently with the second content item.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of content items is associated with at least one respective attribute, and

wherein the second consumption option for the second content item is selected based on the at least one respective attribute corresponding to the first content item.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a third content item as being related to the first content item; and

selecting a third consumption option for the third content item based on the manner in which the first content item was previous consumed, wherein the third consumption option selected for the third content item is different from the first consumption option selected for the first content item and from the second consumption option selected for the second content item;

wherein the generating for display of the user interface comprises:

causing display of an identifier of the third content item proximate to an indication of the third consumption option for the third content item.

11. A system comprising:

processing circuitry configured:

to determine that profile information associated with an account indicates: (a) that a first content item was previously consumed, and (b) an attribute indicating a manner in which the first content item was previously consumed, wherein the manner in which the first content was previously consumed comprises one or more of playing with concurrent subtitles the content item, playing a recap of the content item, renting the content item, or purchasing the content item;

to identify a second content item related to the first content item;

to select a first consumption option for the first content item;

to select a second consumption option for the second content item based on the attribute indicating the manner in which the first content item was previous consumed, wherein the second consumption option is selected for the second content item to be different from the first consumption option selected for the first content item; and

control circuitry configured:

to generate for display a user interface comprising:

(a) an identifier of the first content item proximate to an indication of the first consumption option for the first content item; and

(b) an identifier of the second content item proximate to an indication of the second consumption option for the second content item.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first consumption option for the first content item is watching a recap.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the selection of the consumption option for the first content item is not based on the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was previously consumed comprises a first language in which the first content item was previously consumed and a concurrent display of subtitles in a second language during consumption of the first content item, and

wherein the second consumption option for the second content item comprises an identification of the first language in which the second content item is to be consumed and an identification of subtitles in the second language.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the generating for display of the user interface comprises simultaneously displaying as a single display: (a) the indication of the first consumption option for the first content item, as a user actionable item, proximate to the identifier of the first content item, and (b) the indication of the second consumption option for the second content item, as a user actionable item, proximate to the identifier of the second content item.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

prior to the previous consumption of the first content item, determining a manner in which the first content item was to be consumed based on the profile information.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the manner in which the first content item was to be consumed comprises a language soundtrack with which the first content item was to be consumed, and

wherein determining the manner based on the profile information comprises determining that the profile information indicates that a user is fluent in the language.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second consumption option for the second content item comprises a language of subtitles to be displayed concurrently with the second content item.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of content items is associated with at least one respective attribute, and

wherein the second consumption option for the second content item is selected based on the at least one respective attribute corresponding to the first content item.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute indicating the manner in which the first content item was previous consumed comprises renting the first content item, or purchasing the first content item.
