Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a field of personalized recommendation technology, and more particularly to a method and a device for recommendation of media content.

BACKGROUND

Song personalized recommendation is one of the most popular applications in the current field of personalized recommendation. The range of listening songs can be enlarged by searching favorite songs for a user and recommending the songs to the user, and the user stickiness can be enhanced.

At present, the collaborative filtering recommendation method is generally used to recommend songs for the user, and does not need to obtain the characteristics of the user or the songs, but only depends on the user's past behaviors (such as browsing to the songs) to the songs. The feedbacks of the user on the songs can be collected in the form of scores, and the similarity degrees among the user behaviors will be calculated. The evaluation of neighbors with higher similarity degrees for other songs can be used to predict the degree of preference of a target user for a song to be recommended, and finally the song is recommended to the target user according to the degree of preference.

However, the collaborative filtering recommendation method at least has the problem that the styles of recommended songs are different, and the recommended songs may be less popular.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

The following in conjunction with the accompanying drawings according to various embodiments, clearly describes technical proposals according to various embodiments. It would be obvious that the described embodiments are part but not all of embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by persons having ordinary skills without paying any creative work based on the illustrated embodiments should all be within the protection scope according to various embodiments.

A method and a device for recommendation of media content are provided according to various embodiments of the invention, which can improve the accuracy of media contents that are recommended to a user, reduce style differences between the media contents, and prevent unpopular media contents from being recommend to the user, thereby greatly improving the experience of the user. Further descriptions of embodiments of the present invention will be illustrated are described in detail as below.

Referring to FIG. 1, it is a flowchart of a method for recommendation of media content disclosed by one embodiment of the present invention. The method for recommendation of media content implemented by a computer associated with a computing device, at the computing device having one or more processors and memory for storing program modules to be executed by the processors. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for recommendation of media content starts from step S101.

Step S101: calculating a score of a media content label in a media content library.

In one embodiment, the media content library can be used for storing media content, such as songs, videos, audios, images, texts, etc. In other words, the media content in the media content library may be any one of the songs, the videos, the audios, the images and the texts, or a combination of two or more than two of the songs, the videos, the audios, the images and the texts.

A music file is taken here as an example of the media content, in a practical application, the music file may at least include 8 media content labels: namely, theme, mood, rhythm, melody, scene, timbre, musical instrument and genre. In other words, the score of each of the theme, the mood, the rhythm, the melody, the scene, the timbre, the musical instrument and the genre in the media content can be calculated separately in the step S101.

It should be noted that the 8 media content labels here are merely illustrative. The number of media content labels may not be 8 in practical applications, but not limited to 8, which will not be restricted here in embodiments of the present invention.

In an optional embodiment, the step S101 may specifically be implemented by the following sub-steps:

1) calculating, according to the media content label in the media content library, a ratio between the total amount of media contents containing the media content label and the amount of all media contents in the media content library to obtain a heat degree of the media content label; namely, the heat degree of the media content label=(the total amount of the media contents containing the media content label in the media content library/the amount of all the media contents in the media content library);

2) calculating a ratio between the total scores of the media contents containing the media content label and the heat degree of the media content label in the media content library to obtain a score of the media content label; namely, the score of the media content label=(/(the total scores of the media contents containing the media content label)/(the heat degree of the media content label)).

In this embodiment, the way above can be used for calculating a score of each media content label in the media content library, which can make the score of each media content label has a higher credibility, thereby making the media content that will be recommended subsequently has a higher heat degree. In addition, the media content with a higher heat degree means that the media content is more popular, that is, the higher the heat degree of the media content is, the more popular the media content is.

Step S102: selecting a first threshold media content label as a candidate media content label in descending order of the scores.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first threshold can be set according to the actual needs, which will not be restricted in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, when the first threshold is set to 5, according to the scores of the 8 media content labels, namely the theme, the mood, the rhythm, the melody, the scene, the timbre, the musical instrument and the genre, sorted in descending order, the first 5 media content labels with the highest scores can be selected as the candidate media content labels.

Step S103: finding out, according to the candidate media content label, a media content corresponding to the candidate media content label from the media content library.

In a practical application, the same media content label can be owned by multiple media contents. For example, the same timbre can be owned by multiple songs at the same time. Accordingly, after the step of selecting a first threshold media content label as a candidate media content label in the step S102, multiple media contents corresponding to the candidate media content label can be find out from the media content library in one embodiment of the present invention.

Step S104: selecting, according to the media content corresponding to the candidate media content label, a second threshold media content as a media content to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label in descending order of the amount of page views.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the second threshold can be set according to the actual needs, which will not be restricted in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, when the first threshold is set to 5, and the second threshold is set to 20, for each of the 5 candidate media content labels, 20 media contents can be selected as the media contents to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label in descending order of the amount of page views.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of page views of the media content can be understood as the number of audiences of the media content, or can also be understood as the number of clicks of the media content.

Step S105: recommending the media content to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label to a user.

For example, when the first threshold is set to 5, and the second threshold is set to 20, for the media contents corresponding to each of the candidate media content labels, 20 media contents can be selected as the media contents to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label by executing the step S104. Then the media contents to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate media content labels can be recommended to the user by executing the step S105, namely, 100 media contents to be recommended can be recommended to the user.

In an optional embodiment, before the step S102 in one embodiment of the present invention, the media content labels can be sorted in descending order of the scores, then the step S102 is performed, which will not be restricted in the embodiment of the present invention. By use of the sort order, it is more convenient to select the first threshold media content labels as the candidate media content labels in the step S102.

In an optional embodiment, before the step S104 in one embodiment of the present invention, the media contents which have been browsed or pushed can be filtered out from the media contents corresponding to the candidate media content labels, and the rest of the media contents corresponding to the candidate media content labels can be sorted in descending order of the amount of page views, then the step S104 is performed, which will not be restricted in the embodiment of the present invention. By the way of firstly filtering out one part of media contents and then sorting the rest of the media contents, not only the media contents which have been browsed or pushed can be avoided being recommended to the user again and reducing the user experience, but also the step of selecting a second threshold media content as a media content to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label is performed more conveniently in the step S104.

In an optional embodiment, the step 105 may specifically be implemented by the following sub-steps:

1) sorting the media contents to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate media content labels in descending order of the amount of page views;

2) considering the media contents to be recommended which have been sorted corresponding to each of the candidate media content labels as a whole, and recommending the media contents to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate media content labels to the user after sorting the candidate media content labels in descending order of the scores.

In this embodiment, through the way of two sorts, it can be ensured that the most popular media contents corresponding to the most popular media content labels can be recommended to the user firstly, thereby further improving the user experience.

In the method as shown in FIG. 1, after calculating scores of the media content labels in the media content library, a first threshold media content label can be selected as a candidate media content label in descending order of the scores, then the media contents corresponding to the candidate media content label can be found out from the media content library, and then a second threshold media content can be further selected as the media content to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label in descending order of the amount of page views, and the media content to be recommended corresponding to the candidate media content label can be recommended to a user. By this way, the method can improve the accuracy of recommending popular media content to a user, and effectively reduce the style difference between the media contents that are recommended to the user, thereby avoiding unpopular media contents being recommended to the user.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is a flowchart of a method for recommendation of media content disclosed by another embodiment of the present invention. In the method as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that media contents in a media content library are the songs, and the method for recommendation of media content can be performed by a media content server in embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for recommendation of media content may include the following steps.

Step S201: the media content server recording a score of each song, scored by a user, in the media content library.

Step S202: the media content server searching for a song label corresponding to the song, scored by the user, in the media content library.

Step S203: the media content server calculating a score of each song label in the media content library.

In an optional embodiment, the step S203 may specifically be implemented by the following sub-steps:

1) calculating, according to each song label in the media content library, a ratio between the total number of songs containing the song label and the amount of all songs in the media content library to obtain a heat degree of the song label; that is, the heat degree of the song label=(the total number of the songs containing the song label in the media content library/the amount of all the songs in the media content library);

2) calculating a ratio between the total scores of the songs containing the song label and the heat degree of the song label in the media content library to obtain a score of the song label; that is, the score of the song label=(/(the total scores of the songs containing the song label)/(the heat degree of the song label)).

In this embodiment, the way above can be used for calculating a score of each song label in the media content library, which can make the score of each song label has a higher credibility, thereby making the songs that will be recommended subsequently have a higher heat degree.

Step S204: the media content server sorting the song labels in descending order of the scores, and selecting 5 song labels (namely a first threshold) as candidate song labels according to the descending order of scores.

For example, the media content server may select 5 song labels (namely the first threshold) including: melody, scene, timbre, musical instrument and genre as the candidate song labels in descending order of the scores.

Step S205: the media content server finding out, according to the candidate song labels, songs corresponding to the candidate song labels from the media content library.

In this embodiment, the songs corresponding to each of the candidate song labels may be up to dozens or even hundreds.

Step S206: the media content server firstly filtering out songs which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day according to the songs corresponding to each of the candidate song labels, then sorting the rest of the songs in descending order of the number of audiences, and selecting 20 songs (namely a second threshold) as the songs to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate song labels.

In one embodiment of the present invention, for the songs which have been browsed, the media content server not only records a corresponding relationship between a song identification (ID) and a user ID (such as an account number), but also records the time that the songs are recommended to the user. Therefore, the media content server can easily determine the songs which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day, and then the media server can further filter out the songs which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day from all the songs.

Step S207: the media content server sorting the songs to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate song labels in descending order of the amount of page views, considering the songs to be recommended which have been sorted corresponding to each of the candidate song labels as a whole, sorting the candidate song labels in a descending order of the scores to obtain 100 songs, and recommending the 100 songs to the user.

In the method as shown in FIG. 2, after calculating score of each of the song labels in the media content library, 5 song labels can be selected as candidate song labels in descending order of the scores, the songs corresponding to each of the candidate song labels can be found out from the media content library; furthermore, 20 songs can be selected as the songs to be recommended corresponding to each candidate song label in descending order of the number of audiences, and the songs to be recommended corresponding to the candidate song labels can be recommended to the user. By this way, popular media contents can be recommended to a user, and style difference between the media contents that are recommended to the user can be reduced effectively, thereby avoiding unpopular media content being recommended to the user.

Referring to FIG. 3, it is a flowchart of a method for recommendation of media content disclosed by another embodiment of the present invention. In the method as shown in FIG. 3, assuming that the media contents in the media content library are the videos, and the method for recommendation of media content can be performed by a media content server in embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the method for recommendation of media content may include the following steps.

Step S301: the media content server recording a score of each video, scored by a user, in the media content library.

Step S302: the media content server searching for a video label corresponding to the video, scored by the user, in the media content library.

Step S303: the media content server calculating a score of each video label in the media content library.

In an optional embodiment, the step S303 may specifically be implemented by the following sub-steps:

1) calculating, according to each video label in the media content library, a ratio between the total number of videos containing the video label and the amount of all videos in the media content library to obtain a heat degree of the video label; that is, the heat degree of the video label=(the total number of the videos containing the video label in the media content library/the amount of all the videos in the media content library);

2) calculating a ratio between the total scores of the videos containing the video label and the heat degree of the video label in the media content library to obtain a score of the video label; that is, the score of the video label=(/(the total scores of the videos containing the video label)/(the heat degree of the video label)).

In this embodiment, the way above can be used for calculating a score of each video label in the media content library, which can make the score of each video label has a higher credibility, thereby making the videos that will be recommended subsequently have a higher heat degree.

Step S304: the media content server sorting the video labels in descending order of the scores, and selecting 3 video labels (namely a first threshold) as candidate video labels according to the descending order of scores.

For example, the media content server may select 3 video labels (namely the first threshold) including: theme, mood and genre as the candidate video labels in descending order of the scores.

Step S305: the media content server finding out, according to the candidate video labels, videos corresponding to the candidate video labels from the media content library.

In this embodiment, the videos corresponding to each of the candidate video labels may be up to dozens or even hundreds.

Step S306: the media content server firstly filtering out videos which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day according to the videos corresponding to each of the candidate video labels, then sorting the rest of the videos in descending order of the number of clicks, and selecting 20 videos (namely a second threshold) as the videos to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate video labels.

In one embodiment of the present invention, for the videos which have been browsed, the media content server not only records a corresponding relationship between a video identification (ID) and a user ID (such as a registered user account), but also records the time that the videos are recommended to the user. Therefore, the media content server can easily determine the video which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day, and then the media server can further filter out the videos which have been browsed by the user or pushed to the user the previous day.

Step S307: the media content server sorting the videos to be recommended corresponding to each of the candidate video labels in descending order of the amount of page views, considering the videos to be recommended which have been sorted corresponding to each of the candidate video labels as a whole, sorting the candidate video labels in a descending order of the scores to obtain 60 videos, and recommending the 60 videos to the user.

In the method as shown in FIG. 3, after calculating scores of each of the video labels in the media content library, 3 video labels can be selected as candidate video labels in descending order of the scores, the videos corresponding to each of the candidate video labels can be found out from the media content library; furthermore, 20 videos with the highest number of clicks can be selected as the videos to be recommended corresponding to each candidate video label in descending order of the number of clicks, and the videos to be recommended corresponding to the candidate video label can be recommended to the user. By this way, style difference between the videos that are recommended to the user can be effectively reduced, and unpopular videos can be avoided being recommended to the user, thereby improving the experience of the user.
