Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080244634 | System and Method for Inputting Preferences Into Recommender/Profiling System - A user profiling system that receives user command/control selections related to content currently being provided to the user. A processor acts on the command/control selections and also determines whether the command/control selections are volume related command/control selections. In a case where the command/control selections are volume related, the processor utilizes these volume related command/control selections as an input to a user profile of the user profiling system. The user profile may be utilized for providing recommendations of content to the user. | 10-02-2008 |
