摘要

"METHOD FOR PROVIDING A USER CONTENT RECOMMENDATION, COMPUTER PROGRAM, RECOMMENDATION DEVICE FOR A USER CONTENT RECOMMENDATION, AND PRIVATE VIDEO RECORDER". The invention relates to a recommendation device for recommending content to a user. The recommendation device includes a recommendation device processor (111) that performs the steps of determining (201) a user preference profile and determining (205) whether a content item interest does not match the user preference profile. If the content item interest does not match the user preference profile, a temporary user preference profile is generated (207) in response to the content item. The recommendation device processor (111) then tests (209), through a user interface (107), the temporary user preference profile by recommending a plurality of other content items, and determining user preference values for them. If the preference value for the temporary user preference profile is high (211), the user preference profile is updated (213) accordingly. Otherwise, the temporary user preference profile is deleted (215). Upgrading to the user preference profile may be temporary and have a higher refresh rate, thereby enabling the recommendation device to track temporary variations in user preferences. The recommendation device is particularly applicable to a Private Video Recorder (101).
