Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for customizing a profile page. A first user profile and a second user profile are accessed by a computing device. First and second pluralities of content items associated with the first and second user are identified. Based on the first and second user profiles, first and second subsets of content items of the first and second plurality of content items are selected. For each content item of the first subset of content items, an image associated with the content item is identified. For each content item of the second subset of content items, an image associated with the content item is identified. Based on the identified images, first and second image collages are generated for the first and second user profiles. The first and second image collages and first and second indicators corresponding to the first and second user profiles are generated for display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a viewport for display. A user preference for a character and/or a genre of a scene in a spherical media content item is determined, wherein the spherical media content item comprises a plurality of tiles. A tile of the plurality of tiles is identified based on the determined user preference. A viewport to be generated for display at a computing device is predicted, based on the identified tile. A first tile to be transmitted to a computing device at a first resolution is identified, based on the predicted viewport to be generated for display. The tile is transmitted, to the computing device, at the first resolution.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for retrieving an information file from a user profile about a scheduled trip, where access to content may be restricted and identifying, based on the consumption pattern, a first progression point before the scheduled start time and a second progression point after the scheduled end time of the scheduled trip. Based on the difference between the first and second progression points, the media guidance application causes to be stored the respective media assets on a consumption device. Then before departing for the scheduled trip, the media guidance application confirms the first progression points against the current progression point and causes to adjust the stored media assets based on a difference between the current progression point and the first progression point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for generating an augmented reality (“AR”) display with user interface (“UI”) elements that respond to changes in pupil characteristics in response to detecting device streaming content. A media stream playing on a device that is within a threshold distance of the AR device is detected. The source of the media stream is identified. The AR device queries the source of the media stream for a consumption option. An AR overlay is generated and comprises selectable UI elements corresponding to the consumption options. In response to receiving an input at a UI element, the AR overlay is generated based on the consumption option.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing an interruption of content presentation on a computing device are provided. In one example, an interruption of presentation of a segment of content on a computing device is detected. An estimated recovery time is determined for the interruption. Based at least in part on the estimated recovery time, a determination is made as to whether to skip the segment or wait to resume presentation of the video segment after the interruption subsides. Based on a result of the determining whether to skip or wait, an instruction to wait or an instruction to skip the segment is generated for presentation via the computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for rearranging the order of a plurality of segments of a trailer for media content, based on a retrieved viewing history of at least one user watching the trailer. Based on the retrieved viewing history, it is determined whether any of the plurality of segments arranged in a predetermined order contain spoiler information for the at least one user. Responsive to the determination that at least one of the plurality of segments contains spoiler information, a position of the at least one segment within the trailer is rearranged to generate a rearranged order of the plurality of segments, and the trailer in the rearranged order is generated for display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining transition scenes in content and playing back transition scenes as overlays over one or more adjacent scenes. Transition scenes (also referred to as “pause scenes”) are slow-moving scenes, with minimal activity or characters, usually surrounded by two faster paced scenes, that may bore certain viewers such as children or mobile device users. The system may help the content move faster, while ensuring the transition scenes are not skipped. The system may receive content with three sequential scenes A, B, and C, and determine scene B is a transition scene between scene A and scene C. Scene B may be generated as an overlay to one of (or parts of both) scene A and scene C so that all three scenes are viewed but the runtime is shorter, and the content's pace is maintained. The system may also determine which scene to overlay, and determine a screen position for the overlay so as not to, e.g., obscure any characters or activity in the content.
