Abstract

Provided are methods and systems for displaying content. A plurality of preferred content items can be displayed on one or more display devices according to user preference. In an aspect, an example method can comprise receiving preference information from a plurality of devices in a common location. A highest ranked preferred content item can be determined. At least one display parameter (e.g., size, shape, resolution, color, spatial coordinates, positions, etc.) for the highest ranked preferred content item can be determined. The plurality of preferred content items can be provided and displayed on the one or more display devices according to the determined at least one display parameter. As an example, the plurality of preferred content items can be provided and displayed on one display device, wherein the highest ranked preferred content item have the largest size.

         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein causing output of the second content item of the plurality of content items to the plurality of output devices comprises causing output of the second content item at a larger size than output of another content item of the plurality of content items. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising receiving, from the plurality of user devices, the user preference information, wherein the user preference information comprises at least one of: topic information, genre information, sports information, sports team information, news channel information, or content item preference information. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 determining, by a computing device, user preference information associated with at least one preferred type of content of a plurality of types of content items, wherein the user preference information is associated with a plurality of user devices;   determining, based on the user preference information, a preferred type of content item of the plurality of types of content items;   determining, based on the preferred type of content item, a content item of a plurality of content items and a quantity of output devices; and   causing output of the content item to the quantity of output devices.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the user preference information comprises at least one of: topic information, genre information, sports information, sports team information, news channel information, or content item preference information.
