Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for obtaining information related to media content is disclosed. Embodiments relate to a computer-implemented method including: obtaining a user profile from an external location, extracting media content interests from the user profile, correlating the media content interests to media characteristic information related to media content items, optionally enhancing the media characteristic information by obtaining additional media characteristic information, optionally obtaining filtering preferences from the user, and using at least a portion of the media characteristic information and the filtering preferences to obtain related information from an external source.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for obtaining information related to media content is disclosed. The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method including: inspecting a user dataset to obtain a list of media content items, extracting characteristic information and metadata from media content items, optionally enhancing metadata by obtaining more metadata based on the characteristic information, optionally obtaining filtering preferences from the user; and using at least a portion of the content metadata and the filtering preferences to obtain related event information from an external source.
