Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying primary content without any overlaid secondary content, and instead transmitting the secondary content to the viewer as a message through another communication channel. For example, a news banner is removed from display on a viewer's television, and the text of the news banner is encapsulated in a message sent to the viewer's primary social media account. In this manner, the viewer may watch the primary content uninterrupted by the secondary content, and is thus presented with fewer distractions and a potentially more enjoyable viewing experience.

Abstract: A method of detecting establishment of a voice communication between a first voice communication equipment and a second voice communication equipment and automating requests for content. The method includes analyzing the voice communication to identify a request for content, analyzing the voice communication to identify an affirmative response to the request for content, and correlating the request for content with a first user account and correlating the affirmative response with a second user account. In response to identifying the affirmative response and based upon at least one of the first user account or the second user account, identifying from a data storage, the requested content and causing the transmission of the requested content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for temporarily downloading an application program from a website are disclosed herein. The website provides a feature set corresponding to an anticipated user activity and a downloadable application program. The anticipated user activity is identified based on user data corresponding to future activities of a user. A correspondence between the anticipated user activity and the website is determined and the application program is retrieved from the website and installed on the user device. In response to detecting absence of a user interaction with the application program on the user device within a predefined time period, the application program is automatically uninstalled from the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for automatically identifying spam in social media comments based on a comparison of the content of a particular comment on a popular or trending post with content of other comments on the same or other popular or trending posts on the same or other social media platforms. Comments associated with each post are compared to determine whether content of a comment associated with one post is similar to, or matches, content associated with another post of a different trending topic. In response to determining that the content of a comment associated with one post is similar to the content of a comment associated with another post, the two comments are identified as spam, and a notification is generated for display to an administrator of the social media platform identifying the two comments as spam.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining parameters of devices that may have influenced generated content, and appending values of these parameters to the generated content for the benefit of other users. Devices near the location at which the content was generated may be selected, and parameters of these devices may be retrieved. These device parameters are often relevant to the generated content. Accordingly, the retrieved parameter values may be appended to the generated content for transmission along with the content. In this manner, other users may view both the content and the parameters of nearby devices that may have influenced the setting of the content, assisting users in, for example, recreating the content or its subject matter for themselves.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing interference between content play and video recording among multiple devices located proximate to each other. Microphones of devices recording video are muted, or content play is interrupted, according to the actions of a majority of nearby devices. For example, if most devices are recording video, content play may be interrupted to prevent the video from unintentionally recording unwanted sounds from play of the content. Conversely, if most devices are not recording video, only those devices which are may have their microphones muted. Actions to reduce interference may be taken according to the current behavior of a majority of proximate devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enhancing a social media post with a content item. An illustrative method includes receiving a social media post; extracting, from the social media post, a first content item; identifying, in a frame of the first content item, a portion of the frame that is a non-focus portion; identifying a plurality of content items that fit within the non-focus portion; identifying a content preference of an audience of the social media post; determining an estimated length of time that the audience will view the social media post; selecting a second content item, from the plurality of content items, that matches the content preference of the audience and has a duration that does not exceed the estimated length of time; generating an enhanced social media post by overlaying the second content item onto the non-focus portion; and generating for display the enhanced social media post.

Abstract: The system generates a validation tool in response to receiving an indication to initiate validation. The system identifies at least one media content item based on a user profile, and generates at least one question based on the at least one media content item. The at least one media content item may include an image, a video, text, or a combination thereof. The system determines at least one answer corresponding to the at least one question. The question and answer may be determined based on a question template. For example, the template may be selected based on attribute types or values of the at least one media content item. The system generates the at least one question for output on an output device. Upon receiving input indicative to an answer, the system compares the inputted answer to the determined answer to determine whether to validate the user.
