METHODS, APPARATUS, AND USER INTERFACES FOR SOCIAL USER QUANTIFICATION

摘要

In an embodiment, an IPTV system provides social user quantifications by maintaining a user profile for a user that identifies a plurality of actions of the user with a respective plurality of video assets provided by the IPTV system. Each of the plurality of actions indicates that the user viewed, downloaded, recorded, scheduled to record, or rated the respective video asset. The IPTV system determines a social quantification value for the user based upon one or both of, the plurality of actions of the user within the IPTV system, and an additional plurality of actions by a plurality of other users of the IPTV system. The IPTV system causes an IPTV user interface to be presented to the user on a display of an electronic device that comprises a quantified self UI element that is based upon the social quantification value.
