Intelligent contextual video thumbnail display

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for customizing, based on a user's activity over time, the selection of a video thumbnail for inclusion as a selectable interface element or element of a graphical interface. A server computer identifies events associated with prior interactions of a user and computes a time-decayed metric based on the time of a predicted future action of the user in comparison to a respective time of each identified event. Based on the time-decayed metric, the server computer selects a video thumbnail that is more relevant to the first event than the second event for presentation to the user.
