  • Patent number: 10891679
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to generating media item recommendations based upon determining a beats per minute value. A media recommendation application determines a beats per minute value based upon a pacing measurement of the user. The media recommendation application then identifies one or more media item having a beats per minute that is similar to the beats per minute value. The media recommendation application then identifies a subset of the media item candidates to surface as recommendations for the user.

  • Patent number: 10121182
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to generating media item recommendations based upon determining a beats per minute value. A media recommendation application determines a beats per minute value based upon the activity of a user. The media recommendation application then identifies one or more media item candidates having a number of beats per minute within a predefined delta of the beats per minute value. The media recommendation application then filters out the media items possessed and information associated with the user to identify a subset of the media item candidates to surface as recommendations.
