  • Patent number: 9400995
    Abstract: Content recommendation includes: determining a plurality of user behavior categories pertaining to a plurality of user behaviors by a plurality of users within a period of time, and a plurality of user behavior frequencies corresponding to the plurality of user behavior categories; determining whether the number of user behavior categories exceeds a preset category threshold; in the event that the number of user behavior categories exceeds the preset threshold, excluding one or more user behavior categories such that the number of remaining user behavior categories does not exceed the preset threshold; determining, based at least on the remaining user behavior categories and corresponding user behavior frequencies, user preference data comprising frequency distribution information of a plurality of pieces of content information targeted by user behaviors in the remaining user behavior categories; and recommending content information to a user based on the user preference data.

  • Publication number: 20150356189
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing sets of objects and determining satisfaction levels to the sets of objects. A computing device may rank multiple sets of objects based on an object satisfaction level of a user to an individual set of objects of the multiple sets of objects. The object satisfaction level may be obtained based on operation behavioral data of the user on the individual set of objects and operation behavioral data of the user on an object of the individual set of objects. The ranked sets of objects are consistent with historic operation behavior of the user to the multiple sets of objects. The implementations herein solve data exchange problems caused by repeated search operations and further decrease an amount of data exchange between a client terminal and the computing device, therefore reducing processing loads of the computing device.
