End-of-show content display trigger

Abstract

Example embodiments provide a system and method for dynamically triggering display of recommendations during an end-of-show period. A digital receiver identifies an end-of-show period for a piece of digital content. The end-of-show period indicates a portion at an end of the piece of digital content during which display of recommendations can be triggered. The digital receiver monitors for a motion indication signal from a remote control device. In response to both playback of the piece of digital content being within the end-of-show period and a determination that the motion indication signal is received, the digital receiver causes immediate display of one or more recommendations of further digital content.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 identifying a time period during presentation of first content in which to provide recommendation of second content that is related to the first content;   during the time period, monitoring, by one or more hardware processors, for reception of a signal from a remote control device, the signal resulting from an action performed on the remote control device by a user, the signal including a command to record content;   based on the identified time period and reception of the signal, generating the recommendation of the second content; and   providing the recommendation of the second content based on the identified time period and reception of the signal.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the time period comprises a time prior to the end of the first content. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the identifying is based on a content length and content type. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the recommendation of the second content comprises a set of recommended second content. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the action performed on the remote control device comprises a selection of a button on the remote device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first content comprises a live broadcast. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring further comprises monitoring for an environmental signal indicating a change in ambient noise level. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 one or more hardware processors; and   memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:   
       identifying a time period during presentation of first content in which to provide recommendation of second content that is related to the first content;
 during the time period, monitoring for reception of a signal from a remote control device, the signal resulting from an action performed on the remote control device by a user, the signal including a command to record content; 
 based on the identified time period and reception of the signal, generating the recommendation of the second content; and 
 providing the recommendation of the second content based on the identified time period and reception of the signal. 
 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the time period comprises a time prior to the end of the first content. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the identifying is based on a content length and content type. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the recommendation of the second content comprises a set of recommended second content. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the action performed on the remote control device comprises a selection of a button on the remote device. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first content comprises a live broadcast. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the monitoring further comprises monitoring for an environmental signal indicating a change in ambient noise level. 
     
     
         15 . A machine storage medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: comprising:
 identifying a time period during presentation of first content in which to provide recommendation of second content that is related to the first content;   during the time period, monitoring for reception of a signal from a remote control device, the signal resulting from an action performed on the remote control device by a user, the signal including a command to record content;   based on the identified time period and reception of the signal, generating the recommendation of the second content; and   providing the recommendation of the second content based on the identified time period and reception of the signal.   
     
     
         16 . The machine storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the time period comprises a time prior to the end of the first content. 
     
     
         17 . The machine storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the identifying is based on a content length and content type. 
     
     
         18 . The machine storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the recommendation of the second content comprises a set of recommended second content. 
     
     
         19 . The machine storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the action performed on the remote control device comprises a selection of a button on the remote device. 
     
     
         20 . The machine storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the first content comprises a live broadcast.
