Samsung patents cross-category content recommendations
Samsung describes a method for a device to recommend content from one category, such as music, to a user who has consumed content from another, like movies. The system calculates how similar different types of media are based on what specific users have previously watched or listened to.
In the filing’s own words
A computing device may include: memory storing at least one instruction and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory, wherein at least one processor may be configured to cause the computing device to: obtain a similarity between heterogeneous content based on user-specific heterogeneous content consumption information obtained from category-specific content consumption information, and determine a second content item of a second category different from a first category, as recommended content for a user who has consumed a first content item of the first category, based on the similarity between the heterogeneous content.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computing device comprising: memory storing at least one instruction; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually or in any combination, configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory, wherein at least one processor, individually or in any combination, is configured to cause the computing device to: obtain a similarity between heterogeneous content based on user-specific heterogeneous content consumption information obtained from category-specific content consumption information, and provide a second content item of a second category as recommended content to a user who has consumed a first content item of a first category, based on the similarity between the heterogeneous content.
