Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application on a first device that detects a user's engagement with a second media asset on second device, and alerts the user to an important event in a first media asset presented on the first device, thereby reminding the user to view the first media asset. The media guidance application may determine when the next important event will occur in the media asset and determine an estimated amount of time required to play back the second media asset. The media guidance application may adjust the estimated amount of time based on advertisements and network conditions at the second device. If the media guidance application determines that the estimated amount of time is longer than the amount of time before the next important event in the first media asset, the media guidance application may generate an alert on the second device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enables a user to patch corrupted media. In particular, the media guidance application place-shifts a frame of a second version of the media corresponding to a corrupted portion of the media from a remote location and displays the place-shifted data at the local device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for presenting targeted metadata associated with media asset identifiers. For example, based on stored user preferences (e.g., the user likes a particular actor) and context (e.g., whether an actor is trending on social media near the user's location), the systems and methods may rank attributes associated with the media asset (e.g., title, actors, director, genre, etc.). The systems and methods may then determine a number of attributes that can be displayed based on a size of the media asset identifier (e.g., a cell in a grid-guide) and select the number of attributes that can be displayed (e.g., based on the number of characters, the top two ranked attributes are selected). The systems and methods then display the media asset identifier (e.g., the cell in the grid-guide) with the selected attributes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for performing user device power conservation. To this end, the systems and methods operate a user device in a normal operation mode to provide media content to the user device. While operating in the normal operation mode, Systems and methods monitor the provided media content to determine that the provided media content includes an event that is of interest to the user. In response to determining that the provided media content includes an event of interest to the user, systems and methods enter an enhanced mode. In the enhanced mode, systems and methods determine that an enriched media content is relevant to the provided media content. In response to determining that the enriched media content is relevant to the provided media, systems and methods provide the enriched media content to the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for determining personalized timing for generating for display advertisements to users. Rather than an expert determining time segments of a media asset most suitable for presenting advertisements to users, the most suitable time segments in a media asset for presenting advertisements to users may be customized based on a user's profile information and/or the user's level of engagement in a media asset. The media guidance application may parse a media asset into multiple time segments and determine one or more time segments associated with metadata that matches content characteristics preferred by the user. One or more advertisements may be presented to the user in these time segments determined by the media guidance application instead of the time segments determined by the expert.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting a media stream for display based on reducing a time duration required to consume a media asset are presented herein. A first media stream, where the presentation of the media asset began at a first time, is generated for display. A second media stream, that started presenting the media asset at a second time, is stored in memory. The first media stream is generated for display for a time period and the stored second media stream is generated for display after this time period.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming media having important content. If a user is prevented from viewing media having important content that will be displayed eminently, the media having the important content may be displayed on a second device. For example, in this manner, a user will not inadvertently miss content from a movie or sports game right before an important scene in the movie or an important play in the sports game is displayed.
