- FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an illustrative method for generating an output set of promotional media items from an input set of media items.
- FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an illustrative method for selecting a set of promotional media items corresponding to an input set of media items.
- a system for constructing a program unit composed of one or more media items and one or more promotional media items is provided.
- the media items may be selected to be responsive to a particular user's, or group of users', tastes.
- the promotional media items may also be selected to be responsive to the media items in the program unit and the user's/users' tastes so that they are of greater interest to the user(s) than a random selection of promotional media items.
- the media items and promotional media items may also be selected to meet additional constraints, such as the number, licensing costs, and revenue generated by the program unit, as well as other statutory or contractual compositional constraints.
- Some embodiments may provide for systems and methods for constructing program units which also are responsive to the tastes of a user, some of which can generate advertising revenues which offset the licensing costs of the media items.
- a media recommender subsystem and a promotional media recommender subsystem are provided.
- the media recommender subsystem may generate media items
- the promotional media recommender subsystem may generate promotional media items, responsive to one or more user taste preferences.
- a means for using these recommenders to generate a set of media items and set of promotional media items which satisfy certain constraints may also be provided.
- the selected items may then be combined into a single program unit, such as a promotional program unit.
- the term "media data item" is intended to encompass any media item or representation of a media item.
- a "media item” is intended to encompass any type of media file which can be represented in a digital media format, such as a song, movie, picture, e-book, newspaper, segment of a TV/radio program, game, etc.
- media data item encompass, for example, playable media item files (e.g., an MP3 file), as well as metadata that identifies a playable media file ⁇ e.g., metadata that identifies an MP3 file). It should therefore be apparent that in any embodiment providing a process, step, or system using "media items,” that process, step, or system may instead use a representation of a media item (such as metadata), and vice versa.
- promotional media data item is intended to encompass any promotional media item or representation of a promotional media item.
- a promotional media item is a media item which promotes, publicizes, advertises, advances, etc., something other than the the promotional media item itself.
- a promotional media item can be of different types, e.g., a commercial advertisement, public service announcement, editorial, political endorsement, etc.
- process, step, or system may instead use a representation of a promotional media item (such as metadata), and vice versa.
- a "play" of a media item is a presentation of the digital data for the media item to the user in a form such that the user can perceive the expressive content of the media item.
- a "playlist” is a list of media items grouped by the user as a composition.
- a media item recommender is a system or method for generating a list of media items which are responsive to another input list of media items.
- a promotional media item recommender is a system or method for generating a list of promotional media items which are responsive to another input list of media items. Examples of recommender systems that may be used in connection with the embodiments set forth herein are described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
- a "program unit" is an integral item comprised of one or more media items and one or more promotional media items.
- a webcast is the transmission of digital media items from a computer server system over the Internet to a plurality of user computers incorporating digital media players that make the expressive content of the media items perceptible to the user.
- a podcast is the transmission of digital media items from a computer server system over the Internet to a plurality of user computers incorporating means for conveying the digital media items to a portable digital media player that makes the expressive content perceptible to the user.
- a program unit may be a composition that, for certain types of media items (e.g., sound recordings) integrated therein, is protected under copyright laws from being decomposed into individual component media items that could be conveyed to others.
- media items e.g., sound recordings
- digital encoding formats once the media items and promotional media items have been encoded into a single file of digital data, an encoding format may be used that makes it technically infeasible for a user lacking expert technical skills to decompose the integral program unit back into component items. Therefore, the license holders for the media items may be protected from lost royalties due to illegal conveyance of individual media items.
- a "mediaset” is a list of media items that, for example, an advertiser has grouped together.
- a promotional mediaset is therefore a list of promotional media items that have been grouped together.
- a "metric" M between a media item i and a promotional media item j, or between a media item i and a media item j, for a given knowledge base K expresses the strength of association between i and j with respect to K.
- a metric may be expressed as a distance, where smaller distance values represent stronger association values, or, alternatively, as a similarity, where larger similarity values represent stronger association values.
- a matrix representation for metric M for a given knowledge base K can be defined as a two-dimensional matrix where the element M(i, j) is the value of the metric between the media item i and a promotional item j, or between a media item i and a media item j.
- a graph representation for a given knowledge base K is a graph where nodes represent media items and/or promotional media items, and edges are between pairs of media items or between media items and promotional media items. Pairs of media items i, j may be linked by labeled directed edges, where the label indicates the value of the similarity or distance metric M(i,j) for the edge with head media item i and tail media item j. Media items and promotional media items may alternatively be linked by labeled undirected edges, where the label indicates the value of the similarity or distance metric M(i,j) for the edge with head media item i and tail promotional media item j.
- a user 110 provides information about his or her personal tastes in media items to the system 102. These tastes may be provided, for example, in the form of one or more media item playlists 112 via a computer and software program, a portable digital media player that is a standalone device, or a communications device, such as a telephone, with embedded digital media player technology.
- User taste data may also be provided as a list of media items 114 recently played by the user on a digital media player of any type.
- User taste data may also be provided as a list of descriptive keywords 116 that specify the type and/or characteristics of media items of interest to the user.
- Advertisers 120 may provide promotional media items to the system 102 in the form of, for example, digital data files 124. Advertisers may also supply metadata 122 with the promotional media items 124 to the program media items selection process 140 to associate individual promotional media items with media items. Examples of metadata 122 include descriptive keywords about a promotional media item, specific target demographics for a promotional media item, identifiers for media items embedded in the promotional media item, and/or an explicit list of media items with which the advertiser wishes to associate a promotional media item, one or more of which may be used by a promotional media item recommender to provide promotional media items responsive to the media items supplied to it.
- metadata 122 include descriptive keywords about a promotional media item, specific target demographics for a promotional media item, identifiers for media items embedded in the promotional media item, and/or an explicit list of media items with which the advertiser wishes to associate a promotional media item, one or more of which may be used by a promotional media item recommender to provide promotional media items responsive to the media items supplied to it.
- One or more program unit constraints 130 may also be used to narrow the pool of media data items and/or promotional media data items from which items are selected for the program unit.
- One such constraint may limit the number of media data items associated with a particular artist.
- Other constraints may limit the licensing costs associated with the media data items.
- Still other constraints may be configured to ensure that the media data items and the promotional media data items selected for a promotional program unit are selected such that advertising revenues associated with the promotional media data items are at least equal to licensing costs associated with the media data items.
- the program media selection process 140 may ultimately produce a list of recommended media items 230 and a list of recommended promotional media items 232, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the recommended media items 230 and recommended promotional media items 232 may be selected to satisfy the program unit constraints 130, and may also be responsive to the user-supplied taste data 112, 114, and/or 116.
- the media item file selection process 150 may use the list of recommended media items 230 to select digital data files 152 for the recommended media items from the collection of media item digital data files 172.
- Digital data file collection 145 may be provided by a content provider 180.
- the promotional media item selection process 160 may use the list of recommended media items 232 to select digital data files 162 for the recommended promotional media items from the collection of promotional media item digital data files 124.
- the digital data files 152 for the recommended media items 230 and digital data files 162 for the recommended promotional media items 232 may then be combined by the program build process 170 into a single digital data file representing the program unit 172.
- the media items 230 and promotional media items 232 may be a mix of different media types with different media encoding formats (e.g., MP3, AAC, Vorbis, RealAudio, WMA, Theora, RealVideo, WMV, MPEG) and multimedia container file formats (e.g., AVI, QuickTime, Ogg, RealMedia, ASF).
- the program build process 170 packs the mix of media and promotional media items into a program unit file 172 with that multimedia container file format.
- the build process 170 first decodes each of the media items and promotional media items with an appropriate decoder, concatenates the now unencoded items into a single file, and inserts any desired filler media items between them. The resulting items may then be encoded into a program unit file 172 with the appropriate single media encoding format.
- Another aspect of the program unit build process 170 is the manner in which promotional media items are sequenced with the media items in the program unit 172.
- the promotional media items are interleaved between groups of media items. The size of the groups may be specified by the program operator.
- the promotional media items are inserted in the sequence of media at appropriate points defined by an "auto-DJ" program that achieves some overall compositional objective.
- the promotional media items may be grouped before, after, or both before and after, the entire set of media items.
- the depicted selection process utilizes a media item recommender 204 and a promotional media item recommender 206.
- the media recommender system 204 produces a set of recommended media items 230 responsive to the user taste data 202 (112, 114, and/or 116 in FIG. 1) from the collection of media item digital data files 172 from content providers 180.
- Some embodiments can incorporate a media item recommender which accepts one or more of the constraints 220, 222, 224, and 226 provided to the selection process 208 to further constrain the set of recommended media items to those that are of most utility in the rest of the selection process.
- Other embodiments can incorporate a media item recommender which, to the extent possible, supplies a requested number of media items estimated from constraints 220, 222, 224, and 226.
- the promotional media item recommender system 206 likewise produces a set of recommended promotional media items 232 responsive to the user taste data 202 and/or the list of media items produced by the media item recommender 204.
- Various embodiments can incorporate different methods for generating sets of recommended media items 230 and recommended promotional media items 232 that satisfy one or more constraints, such as constraints 220, 222, 224, and 226.
- One embodiment implements a simple "greedy" algorithm as follows.
- the media item recommender 204 is used to generate a preliminary set of media items responsive to the user taste data 202.
- the promotional media item recommender 206 is then used to generate a preliminary set of promotional media items responsive to the user taste data 202 and the preliminary set of media items.
- the preliminary set of media items and the preliminary set of promotional media items are supplied to the item selection process 208, along with the item constraints 220, 222, 224, and 226.
- constraints may be used to select a final list of media items and promotional media items that satisfy the constraints.
- the process extends the preliminary set of recommended media items and promotional media items with additional recommendations from the recommenders 204 and 206. This process of extending the list of recommended media items and promotional media items, selecting subsets that satisfy the constraints, and testing if the constraints are satisfied, repeats until a final set of recommended media items 230 and a final set of recommended promotional media items 232 are generated. Alternatively, these steps may be repeated until an arbitrary termination criteria, such as reaching a predetermined number of attempts, is met to avoid infinite repetition of the process.
- the item selection process 208 is understood to embody any process for selecting an optimal subset of items from an input set of items, subject to a set of constraints on the properties of the items.
- One such class of constraints that may be imposed on the items in the final program unit is made up of resource constraints 222 and 224. These constraints can be generally formulated as an integer-programming problem, as follows.
- the program unit will include a minimum of K' media items having a minimum total play length of T time units, a maximum of L 1 promotional media items having a total play length of S time units, and will have a net cost to produce of C.
- K' media items having a minimum total play length of T time units
- L 1 promotional media items having a total play length of S time units
- C will have a net cost to produce of C.
- Different embodiments of the invention implementing specific instances of one or more of these general constraints are also contemplated.
- Yet another embodiment may be structured with the goal of having the cost of the program unit (from the media items) be completely subsidized by advertising revenues (from the promotional media items).
- compositional constraints 226 are compositional constraints 226 on the set of media items.
- these compositional constraints may limit the number of media items by the same author or from the same collection of media items pursuant to the "sound recording content selection" conditions included in the statutory license provisions of 17 U. S. C. ⁇ 114, also known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Under these provisions, during any three-hour time period, a transmission may not include more than:
- constraints such as a list of artists and/or albums, and/or the allowable number of sound recordings by each artist or from each album in the program unit, may be employed.
- the selection process 140 may operate so as to ensure that the number of selections by each of the listed artists and albums does not exceed a specified number.
- Embodiments which supply a sequence of program units to a customer must only ensure that the sequence of program units does not violate the DMCA content-selection criteria in any three-hour period. Such embodiments may therefore constrain the build process 170 so as not to begin a program unit with a media item that would violate the DMCA restrictions when juxtaposed with the media item that ends the previous program unit.
- constraints on the properties of items for specifying an optimal subset of items from a set are contemplated, many of which would be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "greedy" procedures and other heuristics for selecting an optimal subset of items from an input set of items subject to a set of constraints on the properties of the items are well understood to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- a system for identifying a set of promotional media items in response to an input set of media items is provided.
- the system may use a knowledge base which can include, for example, a set of promotional media items, a collection of mediasets, and specified associations between promotional media items and mediasets.
- each promotional media item in the set may be associated with a mediaset in the collection of mediasets.
- Other systems may use a knowledge base that includes a set of media items, a collection of promotional mediasets, and specified associations between media items and promotional mediasets.
- a variety of metrics between media items and promotional media items may be considered by, for example, analyzing how the promotional mediasets are associated with the media items or by analyzing how the mediasets are associated with the media items.
- Such metrics may be stored in a matrix that allows the system to identify promotional media items that compliment an input set of media items.
- the metrics may specify not only whether, but also the degree to which, a promotional media item is associated with a media item.
- the associations between promotional media items and mediasets, or media items and promotional mediasets may be either explicitly or implicitly specified.
- Metrics of the knowledge base of the system may be used to correlate an input set of media items with a preferred set of promotional media items.
- different metrics between media items and promotional media items can be built from advertiser-supplied preferences for associating promotional media items and media items, including, but not limited to, metrics which associate:
- Such metrics can be represented in an explicit form that directly associates media items with promotional media items.
- such metrics can be represented in an implicit form that associates media items with media items such that a promotional media item can be associated with a media item via a sequence of intermediate media items and the value of the metric for the promotional media item and the media item is a defined function of the metric for successive pairs of the intermediate media items.
- FIG. 5 One implementation of a method is shown in FIG. 5. The method accepts an input set 501 of media items. A first collection of candidate promotional media items most similar in some respect to the input media items is generated by process 502, based on the metric matrix 300 of FIG. 3A (or the diagram 350 of FIG. 3B).
- process 502 could, for example, add every promotional media item 304 with a non-zero similarity value in the row of metric matrix 300 for the particular media item to the candidate collection of promotional media items. Each promotional media item may then be labeled with its corresponding metric value.
- media item m2 is related to promotional media item p3 with similarity value .4, as indicated at 306 in FIGS. 3A and 3B.
- a second subset of candidate promotional media items is then selected by process 503.
- process 503 could order the promotional media items in the first collection in decreasing order according to their respective metric value.
- the first N unique promotional media items may then be selected as the subset.
- a third and final output set 505 of some specified number of promotional media items may be selected. This final output set may be selected so as to satisfy additional desired external constraints by process 504. For instance, in some applications the system may be used to provide promotional media items responsive to input sets of media items where a number of characteristics, such as age, location, etc., are known about the person supplying the input set of media items.
- An advertiser that supplied a particular promotional media item may specify that the promotional media item only be provided to persons with certain characteristics, such those of an age within a specified range. If the second collection of promotional media items input to process 504 includes such a promotional media item, process 504 would then add or withhold this promotional media item from the final output set of promotional media items 505, as determined by whether or not the person to whom the promotional media items will be supplied has the characteristic, such as being in the target age group, specified by the advertiser. As another example, process 504 could withhold promotional media items that have been previously supplied to the person associated with the input media set within some designated period of time (or ever) from the output set of promotional media items 505.
- explicit associations including similarity values between just a subset of the full set of media items known to the system and the set of promotional media items may be provided, as shown in the graph of FIG. 4B.
- a set of associations including similarity values between the media items may also provided, either as a matrix 400, as shown in FIG. 4A, or a functionally equivalent form.
- an implicit similarity value may be derived by following a directed path.
- a directed path is represented by edges 407 and 408 from the media path from media item ml to promotional media item p1 via media item m2.
- the list M(i, i+1), M(i+1 , i+2), ..., M(i+k, j) of similarity values 406 between pairs of media items 402, 404 with the edges on the path labeled may be combined in a manner such that the resulting value satisfies a definition of similarity between media item i and promotional media item j, as appropriate for the application.
- the similarity M(i,j) might be computed as follows:
- M(i,j) min ⁇ M(i,i+1), M(i,i+2) M(i+kj)>
- M(Ij) M(i,i+1) * M(i,i+2) * ... * M(i+kj)
- the similarity metric for pairs of media items represented in FIG. 4A may not be explicitly represented in the form of a matrix but may instead be implicitly embodied by an iterative process, such as process 600 of FIG. 6, that accepts the input set of media items 602 and a second target set 604 of one or more media items explicitly specified to be associated with certain promotional media items.
- Process 600 may use a media recommender, as indicated at step 606, to iteratively generate a growing list of media items similar to the input media items 602.
- Exemplary media recommenders that may be used in connection with various embodiments discussed herein are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/346,818 titled "Recommender System for Identifying a New Set of Media Items Responsive to an Input Set of Media Items and Knowledge Base Metrics," referred to above.
- the growing list of media items may be compared at step 608 to the target media items 604 and the process of expanding the list may be terminated when it contains the required number of target media items.
- the promotional media items associated with the target media items in the list of recommended media items may be selected at 610. These promotional media items may then be used as the collection of promotional media items 612 output by process 600 to serve as the first collection of promotional media items used by the process shown in FIG. 5.
