METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING RECOMMENDATIONS OF CONTENT ITEMS

摘要

A recommendation system comprises a recommendation server (107) which generates a first recommendation set of recommended content items in response to a user profile associated with a first user and stored on the recommendation server (107). Content item identification data identifying the content items of the first recommendation set are transmitted to a first recommendation device (101). The first recommendation device (101) comprises a network interface (301) which receives the content item identification data from the recommendation server (107). A content list processor (303) determines the first recommendation set in response to the content item identification data. The first recommendation device (101) furthermore comprises application processors (309-313) which can execute different recommendation applications. A device recommender (307) generates a second set of recommended content items from the first recommendation set in response to a characteristic of the recommendation application being executed. The application then provides recommendations in response to the second set.
