APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR FILTERING MEDIA FILES

摘要

An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for filtering media files for inclusion in a user's profile. A user may define rules to prevent certain media files from being included in his/her profile and, if desired, to redirect the media files to another individual's profile. The recommendation service, itself, may further generate rules to be used to filter the media files. When a media file that meets one of the rules defined by the user, or automatically by the service, is consumed in association with the user's account, a reference associated with the media file may, depending upon the requirements of the rule, be placed into a temporary folder, from which the user may delete the reference or redirect it to his or her own, or another's, profile.
