Abstract

A system includes a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code providing a user interface (UI) having a plurality of default parameters. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive interaction data describing interactions by a user with media content, identify, using the interaction data, at least one of a video characteristic or an audio characteristic of the media content, and determine, using the at least one of the video characteristic or the audio characteristic, one or more aesthetic preferences of the user. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to modify, using the one or more aesthetic preferences of the user, one or more of the plurality of default parameters of the UI to generate a personalized UI for the user and provide the personalized UI to the user.

Background

BACKGROUND (1) Digital media content in a variety of different types is available to consumers from content sources including streaming services, social media platforms, multi-user gaming platforms, and sites hosting virtual worlds, for example. Moreover, each different type of digital media content is typically offered by a plurality of providers in competition with one another for market share and user loyalty. (2) One way in which a particular digital media content provider may seek to enhance the experience of a user interacting with that provider, and thereby engender user loyalty, is to identify the consumption preferences of different users and curate the digital media content offered to each user based on those individual preferences. Such a practice is advantageous for users because it reduces the necessity for the user to manually search through a typically large library of available content in order to find content likely to be new and yet appealing to that user. However, in so far as most digital media content providers presently engage in this practice, users increasingly take content curation for granted and fail to recognize it as a special benefit. Thus, in order to enhance the experience of users seeking digital media content, there is a need in the art for a new user interaction solution providing a user environment responsive to the aesthetic preferences of individual users so as to increase the immersiveness and enjoyment of users who utilize that environm

Claims

1. A system comprising: a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code providing a user interface (UI) having a plurality of default parameters; the hardware processor configured to execute the software code to: receiving interaction data describing interactions by a user with media content; identify, using the interaction action, a video characteristic of the media content; determine, using the video characteristic, one or more aesthetic preferences of the user, wherein the one or more aesthetic preferences of the user comprises at least one of a scrolling acceleration, a minimum scrolling speed, or a maximum scrolling speed; modify, using the one or more aesthetic preferences of the user, one or more of the plurality of default parameters of the UI to generate a personalized UI for the user; and provide the personalized UI to the user; wherein the video characteristic comprises at least one of an intra-shot velocity of the media content, or an inter-shot transition speed of the media content. || 7. A method for use by a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code providing a user interface (UI) having a plurality of default parameters, the method comprising: receiving, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, interaction data describing interactions by a user with media content; identifying, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the interaction data, a video characteristic of the media content; determining, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the video characteristic, one or more aesthetic preferences of the user, wherein the one or more aesthetic preferences of the user comprise at least one of a scrolling acceleration, a minimum scrolling speed, or a maximum scrolling speed; modifying, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the one or more aesthetic preferences of the user, one or more of the plurality of default parameters of the UI to generate a personalized UI for the user; and providing, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, the personalized UI to the user; wherein the video characteristic comprises at least one or an intra-shot velocity of the media content, or an inter-shot transition speed of the media content.
