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: Systems and methods are described herein for streaming during unavailability of a content server. Upon determining that there are conditions indicating buffering issues during delivery of a media asset, a server determines a first group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset from the server and sharing the media asset on a peer-to-peer network. Then, the server determines a second group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset on a peer-to-peer network from a first group device. The server then determines groupings within which to share and receive the media asset. Next, the server transmits instructions to the devices in the first group to maintain in buffer and share certain portions of the media asset with the second group devices within their grouping. Finally, the server updates information detailing the media asset portions the devices are maintaining in buffer and sharing.

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 for storing an identification of a first pause point of a media asset associated with a first user interaction profile; storing an identification of a second pause point of the media asset associated with a second user interaction profile; receiving a request to access the media asset during a current consumption session; identifying user interface inputs received during the current consumption session; selecting one of the first pause point and the second pause point as a selected pause point based on determining whether the identified user interface inputs match user interface inputs associated with the first user interaction profile or the second user interaction profile; and generating for presentation the media asset starting from the selected pause point.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented herein for streaming of media content. The methods and systems include receiving a request to stream a media content item; accessing a profile of a user authorized to access the streaming service; determining whether a bonus stream in addition to a default number of streams should be granted based on an analysis of at least one of: a status of the streaming service, a status of the requesting media device, metadata of the media content item, a status of the communication system, the profile, and a status of the currently streaming media device. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.
