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 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 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 presented for providing personalized content based on gestures, in order to provide a seamless and user-driven feedback capture platform that captures user gestures and provides improved personalized content. The system captures biometric data from the user during the presentation of a first content item from a first content source. The system identifies the feedback indicator from the biometric data captured during the output of the first content item and stores an identifier of the second content item associated with the first content item in the master list. The system generates the master list for display and, in response to receiving a selection of the identifier of the second content item, retrieves for output the second content item from the second content source on the user device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically navigating content are provided. Media content is generated for display on a user device. A selectable indicator for incrementally skipping through the media content is also generated. An input indicating selection of the selectable indicator is received and, in response to receiving the input indicating the selection of the selectable indicator, at least two selectable navigation settings are generated for display. Each navigation setting is associated with a navigation interval within the content. An input of the selection of the navigation setting and the navigation interval is received. The current play position of the media content item is shifted based on the selected navigation setting and the navigation interval.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for modifying messages transmitted between a first computing device and a second computing device based on the determination of a context of messages transmitted between the first and second computing devices. A first message, prepared to be transmitted to a second computing device, is prepared at a first computing device. The message contains a reference and a context of the message is determined. Based on the reference and the context, a modification of the message is determined. In response to determining the modification, the message is modified and transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device. The modification is performed relative to the reference and the context.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to providing closed caption data to a media player. More particularly, the present invention relates to implementing a referencing mechanism leveraging repetition of content to transmit less closed caption data to a client device. Improved closed captioning and subtitling methods, mechanisms, techniques and systems described herein are introduced to provide a better viewing experience for a viewer of a media asset such as video, audio, or the like. As such, methods and systems are provided herein that reduces the signaling of unnecessary bytes to a media device and provides a more efficient way of providing timed text to the media 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.

Abstract: Systems and methods for doing presenting an avatar that speaks sign language based on sentiment of a speaker is disclosed herein. A translation application running on a device receives a content item comprising a video and an audio, wherein the audio comprises a first plurality of spoken words in a first language. The video comprises a character speaking the first plurality of spoken words in the first language. The translation application translates the first plurality of spoken words of the first language into a first sign of a first sign language. The translation application determines an emotional state expressed by the character based on sentiment analysis. The translation application generates an avatar that speaks the first sign of the first sign language where the avatar exhibits the determined emotional state. The content item and the avatar are presented for display on the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating meme content. A content item is tagged with one or more first tags based on metadata for the content item. The content item having the one or more first tags is received at user equipment. The content item is tagged with one or more second tags based on a user profile. A segment of the content item is identified based on the first and second tags. The identified segment is stored for use in generating meme content.
