Sony patents system that shows users content based on real-time context
Sony describes a computer method that finds users interested in a specific topic and checks if their current situation matches an external event. If the user's interests and real-time data align with available content, the system automatically activates that content for them.
In the filing’s own words
A computer-implemented method for activating rich engagement resources is described. The method includes determining a plurality of users whose user feature vectors match a target tag; determining an external real-time context related to the target tag; determining, among the plurality of users, one or more users whose real-time contextual data matches the external real-time context; determining that one or more engagement resources are available for the external real-time context and the target tag; and in response to determining that the user feature vectors of the plurality of users match the target tag, that the external real-time context is related to the target tag, that the real-time contextual data of the one or more users matches the external real-time context, and that one or more engagement resources are available for one or more users given the external real-time context and the target tag, activating an engagement resource for the one or more users in the external real-time context.
