Presence based collaborative recommender for networked audiovisual displays

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe a presence based collaborative recommender (PBCR) system for networked audiovisual (AV) displays such as Internet connected TV sets with access to broadcast TV programs over traditional channels, video on demand, and Internet Protocol (IP) AV programs. The proposed PBCR system is based on presence technology and provides viewers with collaborative recommendations on AV programs based on presence or ratings of users within viewer's community.
