Abstract

La présente invention concerne des réservations de visualisation ou des historiques de visualisation servant à recommander un contenu de visualisation qui correspond aux goûts de l'utilisateur sur une pluralité de médias tels que des diffusions TV, des diffusions IP, des contenus VOD ou des contenus enregistrés. Un système de recommandation de visualisation de contenu suggère une table de programmes recommandés à la visualisation pour recommander une visualisation. Ce système de recommandation de visualisation de contenu comprend une unité de suggestion de recommandation de programmes qui possède une unité de gestion d'informations d'utilisateur 2, une unité de recherche de programmes d'utilisateur 3, une unité de gestion de règles de priorité 4 et une unité de génération de table de programmes recommandés 5. L'unité de suggestion de recommandation de programmes choisit des programmes recommandés à la visualisation parmi des médias programmés, avec lesquels une diffusion ou une distribution est effectuée à un horaire prédéterminé, ou des médias non programmés, avec lesquels une diffusion ou une distribution est effectuée à un moment arbitraire, et génère une table de programmes recommandés à la visualisation qui recommande la visualisation à un utilisateur.
