EVENING PLANNER

摘要

An apparatus and method for recommending a schedule of events to a user is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment of the system and method, each channel schedule is broken down into time slices. A novel fuzzy-now recommendation-time value is calculated for each time slice. This fuzzy-now recommendation-time value is a two dimensional value measured in units of recommendation-time, or "enjoyment minutes". By means of the calculated fuzzy-now recommendation-time values, recommended schedules may be generated using a wide variety of selection methods.
