METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO ALLOW CREATION OF A CONTENT CHANNEL

摘要

An apparatus may include a content channel drafting module configured to provide for drafting of a content channel. A content channel comparison module may compare the content channel with existing content channels to determine a similarity factor. A channel creation determination module may determine whether or not to allow creation of the content channel based at least in part on the similarity factor. Thereby, creation of the content channel may be allowed in instances in which the similarity factor is less than a threshold correlation value and disallowed in instances in which the similarity factor exceeds the threshold correlation value. Further, when creation of a content channel is allowed, selection of a public channel status configured to allow sharing of the content channel may be disallowed in an instance in which the similarity factor exceeds a lower threshold correlation value.
