  • Publication number: 20230054747
    Abstract: A computer system obtains access to a content collection that includes a plurality of content items. For each of the content items, the computer system determines user access history and context associated with the access history. The system builds a classifier characterizing a user access pattern of the content items. The system constantly monitors in real-time environmental parameters of the user. It infers a current context of the user based on the environmental parameters. In accordance with the current context, for each of the content items, the system extracts numeric feature values, evaluates the item using the classifier, and determines a score for the item. The system identifies in real-time a subset of the content items that is most relevant to the current context. The system further generates a preferred view of the subset and causes the preferred view to be delivered to a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10545638
    Abstract: Providing a view of relevant items of a content collection includes identifying a current context based temporal parameters, spatial parameters, navigational parameters, lexical parameters, organizational parameters, and/or events, evaluating each of the items of the content collection according to the current context to provide a value for each of the items, and displaying a subset of the items corresponding to highest determined values. The temporal parameters may include a time of recent access of an item, frequency of access of an item, frequency of location related access of an item, and frequency of event related access of an item. Temporal patterns of accessing items may be numerically assessed based on time of day, time of week, and/or time of month. Evaluating each item may include determining a distance from a separating hyperplane using a support vector machine classification method.
