Identifying User Relationships from Situational Analysis of User Comments Made on Media Content

摘要

In one embodiment, a method comprises detecting a first comment that is input by a first user at an instance coincident with the first user having been supplied a first identified position of a content asset; detecting a second comment that is input by a second user at an instance coincident with the second user having been supplied a second identified position of the content asset; and selectively establishing a similarity relationship between the first and second users, based on a determined positional similarity between the first and second comments based on the respective first and second identified positions relative to the content asset, and a determined content similarity between the first and second comments.
