TL;DR: In this paper, a method of setting controls on a digital communication device operated by an end user participant in a digital content event provided from a digital communications network is presented, which includes operating a tracking control in the digital communication network to track the activity of the device in a context of the digital contents event, operating a timer in conjunction with the activity to form a time-stamped set of ranking controls, attenuating the time-set of ranking control according to an elapsed time.

TL;DR: In this article, a tracking control is operated in the digital communication network to track activity of a digital communication device in a context of digital content event to modify the initial control set for the ranking control into modified ranking controls.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of setting controls on a digital communication device operated by an end user participant in a digital content event provided from a digital communications network is presented, which includes operating a tracking control in the digital communication network to track activity of the device, applying the activity to a content series detector, applying an output of the content series detectors to a series gap detector, and applying the time-stamped set of ranking controls and content inputs from the digital content manager to generate a control interface for the device.

TL;DR: In this article, a machine system for operating a content recommendation system includes a monitor to detect and identify user actions on network connected digital devices, a first associator to relate the user actions to digital content, a timer operable to control a minimum time period filter on user actions, a sequencer operable in conjunction with the timer, the minimum-time period filter, and a combiner to transform user actions into aggregate user actions.
