Content on a client device is updated. Analytics data describing how a user uses the client device to consume digital content are received. The analytics data are generated by the client device responsive to observations of how the user uses the client device to consume digital content. A prediction model is generated based on the analytics data and used to predict when the user will consume digital content on the client device. Prediction data describing the prediction are provided to the client device. The client device uses the prediction data to request updated digital content prior to when the user is predicted to consume digital content on the client device.

Analytics-based update of digital content

Described embodiments enable the presentation to a user of news articles or other content that is of likely interest to a user and that is temporally and/or geographically relevant to the user's location or region of interest. A news delivery system includes an ingest module that assigns topics, locations and dates to available content, a profile engine that determines profile topics and geographic locations that a particular user finds relevant, and a news delivery module that selects content for the user based on the operation of the ingest module and the profile engine and the desired timeframe. In one embodiment, the profile engine performs decay processing to remove stale topics and locations from a user's profile. In related aspects, the profile engine maintains multiple profiles for the user.

Generating a news timeline

An personalized electronic magazine system includes an indexing module that stores topics related to various items available via a database. A user profile manager determines topics of interest to a particular user, and a recommendation generator uses the topic information from the indexing module and the topic information from the profile manager to generate recommended content to present to the user.

A system and method for fingerprinting content via a playlist are provided. The system includes a content requestor to receive an indication that a request for content is to be served, the content being served with a duplication restriction; a code generator to generate a code with a plurality of bits associated with the content being served, a number of the plurality of bits of the code being defined based on the length of the content divided by a predetermined length of equally sized segments; a playlist generator to generate a playlist to serve a plurality of segments, each of the plurality of segment's length being determined by a corresponding bit of the code; and a playlist transmitter to transmit the playlist along with the content to a visitor or device associated with the request.
