Patent number: 11689302Abstract: A server system accesses a profile of a user of the media-providing service. The profile indicates a demographic group of the user. For each media item of a plurality of media items, the server system determines a year associated with the media item. The server system selects content for the user based at least in part on an affinity of members of the demographic group, as compared to members of other demographic groups, for content from the year associated with the media item. The server system provides the selected content to a client device associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Clay Gibson, Santiago Gil, Ian Anderson, Oguz Semerci, Scott Wolf, Margreth Mpossi

Publication number: 20210382681Abstract: An electronic device associated with a media-providing service has one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors. For each track of a plurality of tracks consumed by a user of the media-providing service, the electronic device receives, over a time window, an indication of user selection of the track to compile a listening history of the user and determines, based on the listening history of the user with the media-providing service, whether the track has previously been consumed by the user. The electronic device determines, for the user, a discovery score corresponding to an average preference of the user for selecting previously unconsumed tracks. In response to determining that an amount of use of the media-providing service by the user does not satisfy a use threshold, the electronic device forgoes recommending tracks to the user based on the discovery score.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Clay GIBSON, Will SHAPIRO, Santiago GIL, Ian ANDERSON, Margreth MPOSSI, Oguz SEMERCI, Scott WOLF, Benjamin LACKER

Patent number: 10412183Abstract: An electronic device accesses a listening history of a user of a media-providing service, and for each characteristic of a set of characteristics describing tracks provided by the media-providing service, determines a measure of divergence with respect to listening contexts for the listening history of the user. The electronic device identifies a characteristic that has a respective measure of divergence that satisfies a threshold indicative of a lack of uniformity in the listening history with respect to the listening contexts. The electronic device determines a representative value of the identified characteristic for a listening context corresponding to a current listening context of the user. The electronic device provides personalized content to a client device of the user based on the current listening context and representative value of the identified characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Clay Gibson, Will Shapiro, Santiago Gil, Ian Anderson, Margreth Mpossi, Oguz Semerci, Scott Wolf

Patent number: 10334073Abstract: A server system divides respective groups of a plurality of groups of sessions for multiple users of the media-providing service into respective pluralities of clusters. The server system tracks user interaction with a client device during a user session and identifies the user session as belonging to a first cluster of the pluralities of clusters based at least in part on the user interaction. The server system personalizes content for the user session using one or more content criteria associated with the first cluster, in accordance with identifying that the user session belongs to the first cluster.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Clay Gibson, Will Shapiro, Santiago Gil, Ian Anderson, Margreth Mpossi, Oguz Semerci, Scott Wolf
