Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de recommander un contenu de programme à un utilisateur. La recommandation peut reposer sur un contexte personnel, des critères de pertinence personnels, et/ou des critères de fourniture de programme propres au fournisseur. Par exemple, on peut recommander des films en fonction d'une humeur sélectionnée par l'utilisateur, du signe du zodiaque de celui-ci, et/ou de toute autre information pertinente du point de vue de l'utilisateur. On peut aussi faire intervenir des simulations de jeu interactif pour recommander un contenu, à savoir par exemple: machine à sous virtuelle, jeu-questionnaire général interactif, et/ou autres types de simulations de jeu. Le fournisseur de contenu et/ou de service peut également établir des liens entre les suggestions de contexte et ces simulations de jeu interactif.Methods and systems for recommending program content to a user are provided. The recommendation may be based on a personal context, personal relevance criteria, and / or supplier specific program delivery criteria. For example, movies can be recommended based on a mood selected by the user, the zodiac sign of the latter, and / or any other relevant information from the user's point of view. We can also use interactive game simulations to recommend content, for example: virtual slot machine, interactive general quiz, and / or other types of game simulations. The content and / or service provider can also link context suggestions to these interactive game simulations.
