Abstract: A media asset may include date-related information. When viewed out of context it may be unclear what date is referenced by the date-related information. The media asset may be parsed to identify the date-related information within the media asset. The media asset may be analyzed to determine the context for the date related information. An absolute date may be determined based on this context and the date-related information and provided to the user with the media asset.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enhancing a social media post with a content item. An illustrative method includes receiving a social media post; extracting, from the social media post, a first content item; identifying, in a frame of the first content item, a portion of the frame that is a non-focus portion; identifying a plurality of content items that fit within the non-focus portion; identifying a content preference of an audience of the social media post; determining an estimated length of time that the audience will view the social media post; selecting a second content item, from the plurality of content items, that matches the content preference of the audience and has a duration that does not exceed the estimated length of time; generating an enhanced social media post by overlaying the second content item onto the non-focus portion; and generating for display the enhanced social media post.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring light emissions in electronic devices. The disclosed techniques herein provide for determining a display duration of display devices for a user. Light emission profiles for each of the display devices are determined. A cumulative emissions exposure is determined that is based on the light emission profiles for the display devices and the display duration of the display devices for the user. A determination is made whether the cumulative emissions exposure exceeds a light emission exposure limit set for the user. In a positive determination, an instruction is transmitted to the display devices for execution of a remedial action based on predefined rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for automatically identifying spam in social media comments based on comparison of the context or topic of the popular or trending post with the context or topic of each comment associated with the post. Content of a social media post is processed to identify a topic of the social media post. A plurality of comments associated with the social media post are accessed and the topic of each comment is compared to the topic of the social media post and, if the topics do not match, the comment is identified as spam. A notification is generated for display to an administrator of the social media platform on which the social media post resides identifying the comment as spam.

Abstract: The system recommends a media content item, from among a plurality of media content items, for performance by a user. The performance can include a series of actions, which can optionally be recorded or otherwise captured to be considered as collaborative content. The system analyzes at least one physical performance property relative to a corresponding physical performance property of each of the plurality of media content items. The at least one physical performance property is determined from profile information that is associated with the user, and may include a temporal, spectral, video, audio, or other property. Based on the analysis, the system identifies the media content item as being compatible or incompatible for performance or collaboration by the user. The system generates for output, which can include storage in memory or display on a device, a recommendation of the media content item on a device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining portions of media assets for cooperative reception by multiple devices. The disclosed techniques herein include identifying cooperating devices that are able to communicate with a selected device for relaying portions of a media asset. For example, a group of people each travelling together in a vehicle may wish to view a media asset by cooperatively using their network resources of their smartphones to relay portions of the media asset for viewing. Network service data for each of the plurality of cooperating devices is then received. Based on the network service data, a determination is made for each cooperating device regarding reception of a respective portion of the media asset to each cooperating device. Instructions to receive and relay the respective portions of the media asset are transmitted to each cooperating device.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein optimize the retrieval of missed content by playing back cached content to enable tuners with limited capacity to retrieve the missed content. A content presentation system may receive, with a tuner, a transmission of content comprising media content and advertisements. The content presentation system may cache the advertisements. The content presentation system may determine whether an interruption during the transmission resulted in a missed portion of content and, in response, determine whether an advertisement upcoming at a time period in the transmission of content is cached. If the upcoming advertisement is cached, the content presentation system may play back the cached advertisement at the time period and release the tuner previously receiving the transmission of content to retrieve the missed portion of the content during the time period.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated contact updating based on content communications are disclosed herein. A rule is retrieved from a rules database, the rule defining criteria for identifying contact-related data within a content item electronically communicated from a source account to a destination account. Based on the rule, the contact-related data is identified within the content item. In response to identifying the contact-related data within the content item, a contact database is automatically searched, based on the contact-related data, for a contact entry that corresponds to the source account. Based on the contact related data, a determination is made as to whether the contact entry should be updated. In response to determining that the contact entry should be updated, the contact entry is updated in the contact database based on the contact-related data.

Abstract: A method for generating a content depiction of particular content that includes a machine learning system programmed to receive profile data representing preferences for content. The machine learning system identifies preferences for content features based upon the profile data, accesses content data representing the particular content and other content, and classifies features of the content data and content structure data within a content structure database system according to content categories. The machine learning system generates a content structure depiction of the particular content by combining content structure data from the content structure database system, wherein the combining is based upon correlating the identified preferences of the profile with the classified content categories. The machine learning system receives feedback data responsive to the content depiction and reprograms a configuration of the machine learning system for generating a content depiction based upon the feedback data.

Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein describe dynamically displaying a guide interface element for a customized period of time that is determined based on characteristics of the actual guide interface element to be displayed. In this way, when the timeout of the guide interface element is customized based on characteristics of the guide data, the duration engine allows sufficient time for the viewer to view and react to the guide interface element. Incidents of viewer re-launching of the guide interface element can thus be reduced to improve system processing efficiency and viewing experience.
