Claim 9:
10. A system for recommending media content, the system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
determine performance of an activity unrelated to media consumption, wherein the determination is based on a mobile electronic device being located within a threshold distance of an electronic device that is used to perform the activity;
retrieve activity data for a user related to the performed activity;
determine an activity likely to be performed by the user based on the retrieved activity data;
determine a media asset by cross-referencing the activity likely to be performed with a database associated with activity relationships;
determine an availability of the media asset by pinging a content source associated with the media asset;
determine a type of user equipment available to the user based on the activity likely to be performed;
identify a user device, within a threshold proximity to the given user following the activity, wherein the user device is of the type of user equipment; and
generate, at the user device, a recommendation of the media asset for the user.
