Patent number: 11170059Abstract: A computer system selects a set of content for a user. The set of content has been selected from a larger set of content located on multiple sources on one or more networks. The selecting is performed based on a time constraint of the user, on a level of relevance to that user of each item of content in the larger set of content, and on an expected amount of time the user will spend consuming each item of content in the larger set of content. The sources of content were previously provided by the user and the level of relevance of the content and expected amount of time the user will spend consuming each item of content are estimated based on historical data for that user. The computer system sends the selected content toward a user device used by the user. Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carlos Henrique Cardonha, Rogerio Abreu de Paula, Nicole Barbosa Sultanum
