Abstract

Video character-based content targeting is described. In one or more embodiments, users make selections of characters in video content in conjunction with playback of the video content. For example, a user is prompted during playback of video content to select a character in the video content that the user likes. An indication is received of selections made by the user of one or more characters, each of which is associated with information that describes a degree to which the character exhibits a plurality of personality attributes. Once received, the user's selections of the one or more characters from the video content are analyzed. In particular, the selections are analyzed to ascertain a degree to which the user identifies with the plurality of personality attributes. The degree to which the user is determined to identify with the plurality of personality attributes is then used to control communication of content to the user.
