Abstract
A digital magazine server logs user interactions with content provided by the server, including the topic of the content and time of the interaction by the user. For each user of the server, the server segments the time interval (e.g., a day) of the user's interactions with content into time periods, e.g., fixed time periods or automatically determined time periods, and ranks topics of interest for each time period. The server also obtains a list of topics that each user interacted with each day. The digital magazine server uses a time segmentation module based on content interaction data and associated timing information from the users of the server. Upon receiving a request for content from a user, the digital magazine server ranks the content for display to the user based on the match between the content and the ranked topics for the user during the current time associated with the request.
