Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines when a viewer is likely to skip over supplemental content and adjusts supplemental content presentation to compensate. Systems of embodiments of the disclosure may utilize various inputs to determine the likelihood of skipping supplemental content, including cursor position at or near specified icons or other UI elements, as well as user actions such as gaze direction, various motions or actions, controller manipulations, and the like. Once a likelihood of skipping supplemental content is determined, various actions may be taken in response, including without limitation selection of supplemental content that conveys its intended message prior to skipping, supplemental content that can be played at increased speed, and designation of supplemental content slots as skippable or non-skippable.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for increasing user engagement with an interface by suggesting commands or queries for the user. A plurality of content items available for consumption are identified and metadata for each of the plurality of content items is retrieved. One or more candidate voice commands are generated based on a plurality of voice command templates based on a target verb and a subset of the metadata corresponding to the plurality of the content items available for consumption. A recall score is generated for each candidate voice command based at least in part on a detection of phonetic features that match between clauses of each candidate voice command. At least the candidate voice command with the highest recall score is selected and output using a suggestion system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for resolving an unresolved plot or storyline of a series and resolving it. A user may not view all episodes in a series of episodes, particularly if the series runs over a long period of time, such as several years. The user may however be interested and curious to know how the series ends, with reference to a storyline that runs throughout the series. Therefore the disclosure provides methods and systems for determining if a user is interested in the resolution of an unresolved storyline and generating a resolution video for display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for resolving audio conflicts in extended reality systems. When multiple users speak at the same time, one user is selected to speak to the others. The audio output of each remaining speaker is not broadcast, but is instead converted to text which is displayed next to each speaker's avatar or other representation. Users are thus no longer subjected to confusion when multiple speakers each attempt to speak at the same time. Text may be displayed as an extended reality object that can be displayed in the proper perspective and orientation for each user. Displayed text may also be an interactive element of the extended reality environment, moving to avoid collisions with other elements or objects of the extended reality environment, capable of being manipulated by users, or the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating media program keywords based on a video-hosting website are disclosed herein. Control circuitry identifies, on the video-hosting website, video content items that include at least a portion of a media program. The media program has a media program identifier and the video content items have respective titles, each including one or more terms. The control circuitry identifies a term included in more than one of the titles and identifies a group of the video content items that have the term included in their title. Based on the video-hosting website, the control circuitry determines a cumulative number of rankings of the video content items within the group and generates a relevance score for the term based on the cumulative number of rankings. The control circuitry stores the term and the relevance score in a keyword database in association with the media program identifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining, based on recommendations provided by users that have consumed a media asset, which consumption options may be configured on a media device such that when configured enhance the user viewing experience for a specific media asset. The method includes accessing comments posted by other users that have consumed the media asset. The comments are analyzed to determine a consumption option recommendation. If the number of comments meet a threshold value, then the system either automatically configures the media device or configures the media device upon user approval with the recommended consumption option. The recommendation to configure a consumption option on the media device is made only if the recommendation is supported by the media device. The system also detects through audio and image analysis which users are consuming the media asset and accordingly configures the consumption options to their preferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating supplemental audio for an audio-only mode are disclosed. For example, a system generates for output a content item that includes video and audio. In response to determining that an audio-only mode is activated, the system determines that a portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode. In response to determining that the portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode, the system generates for output supplemental audio associated with the content item during the portion of the content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating personalized messages. One example method includes identifying a media item at a first computing device and identifying a group of one or more recipients to send the media item and a personalized message to. An association between a user of the computing device and a recipient from the group is identified. A personalized message is generated based at least in part on the association between the user and the recipient. The media item and personalized message are sent to the recipient from the first computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing voice interactions based on user context. Data is received that causes a voice interaction to be generated for output at a user device. Current user contextual data of the user device is retrieved. An audio characteristic for an utterance at a location of the user device is determined from the current user contextual data. One or more audio characteristics of the voice interaction are altered to overcome the utterance based on the determined audio characteristic. The voice interaction comprising the altered audio characteristics is outputted at the user device.
