A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886522B2) discloses a system that involves at least one processor and a storage device storing instructions for receiving information from a client device about a user's preferred video clip. The system then retrieves video graphs referencing the chosen video clip, determines association values with other video clips, and generates a ranked candidate video list based on these associations. The system further adjusts association values, filters the list for similarity to other users' watched videos, and updates the video graphs accordingly. The user's preferences and consumption patterns are taken into account for personalized recommendations.

The system ranks video clips based on factors like the number of linked video clips, popularity, and metadata. It also considers the number of users who have consumed or accessed each video clip, as well as the similarity between video content. The patent also covers a computer-implemented method and a computer-readable medium storing executable instructions for performing similar operations. By utilizing association values and user preferences, the system aims to provide tailored video recommendations to users, enhancing their viewing experience and engagement with the platform.
