Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, a content selection, and may receive metadata associated with the content. The device may determine viewing options, for viewing the content, based on the metadata associated with the content, and may identify dimensions of the content based on the viewing options. The device may calculate points for each of the dimensions of the content, and may assign the points for each of the dimensions of the content to generate weighted dimensions of the content. The device may associate the weighted dimensions of the content with the viewing options to generate weighted viewing options, and may rank the weighted viewing options to determine a primary viewing option, a secondary viewing option, and remaining viewing options. The device may provide the primary viewing option, the secondary viewing option, and the remaining viewing options to the user device, for display.

Abstract: A device provides, to a user device, a list of on demand content available for purchase or rental from the device, and receives, from the user device, an indication of a selected on demand content from the list of on demand content. The device provides, to the user device, points-based purchase or rental options for the selected on demand content, and the points-based purchase or rental options include points associated with a loyalty program provided by the device for a user of the user device. The device receives, from the user device, a selected points-based option from the points-based purchase or rental options, and provides the selected on demand content to the user device based on the selected points-based option.

Abstract: A system, associated with a video provisioning system, may receive a hierarchical representation of categories and subcategories associated with a catalog of video assets; and condense the hierarchical representation of categories and subcategories into a file. The system may further transmit the file to a set top box, where transmitting the file allows the set top box to access the hierarchical representation of categories and subcategories without retrieving, from the video provisioning system, additional information associated with the hierarchical representation of categories and subcategories.

Abstract: A system collects a user's television (TV) program viewing activity and uses the collected TV program viewing activity to make video on demand (VOD) recommendations to other users via a VOD recommendation service. The system receives an indication that the user wishes to turn on a VOD recommendation service and deletes previously collected TV program viewing activity for the user based on the received indication. The system collects the user's recent TV program viewing activity, which occurs subsequent to the received indication and the deletion of the previously collected TV program viewing activity, and uses the user's collected recent TV program activity to make other VOD program recommendations to the user via the VOD recommendation service.
