Content Ranking Based on Person-to-Person Sharing

摘要

An approach is provided for identifying favorite multimedia content, such as digital photographs, possessed by a user. The approach detects a number of content sharing actions involving multimedia content, such as digital photographs, with the detecting being from a number of content handling applications, such as social media sites and person-to-person sharing. One of the content handling applications is a content player, such as a image viewer, that runs on a portable device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer system. The approach computes a shared content score for each of the multimedia content, with the shared content score being based on the content handling application that was used in the content sharing actions. The approach further identifies “favorite” multimedia content based on the shared content score pertaining to each multimedia content.
