METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AUTOMATIC MEDIA PROGRAMMING THROUGH VIEWER PASSIVE PROFILE

摘要

The system described herein works by eliminating the need for a viewer to actively select media. Instead, this new method creates a viewer passive profile by analyzing viewer and media metadata and then provides such media directly to the viewer through the system whenever the system is activated or whenever the user wants to watch it (time preference). Active selection of media by the viewer is no longer necessary. Instead, the viewer automatically receives his or her media profile preferences in a timely fashion.
