Abstract: Systems and methods are described to selectively stream content based on parental control ratings. A particular frame of a live broadcast of a media asset that is to be transmitted to a first device is identified, and it is determined whether the particular frame of the media asset depicts content associated with a parental control rating. In response to such determination, the particular frame and metadata associated with the particular frame that indicates that the particular frame depicts content associated with the parental control rating may be transmitted to the first device, where the transmittal of the metadata causes the first device to perform an action related to display of the particular frame based on comparing the parental control rating with a local parental control setting.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for recommending a content item. A search query for a content item is received. The availability of the content item from more than one source is determined. In response to determining that the content item is available from more than one source, the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources is determined. A recommendation factor is determined. The recommendation factor is based on at least one of the bandwidth available to a user device, the resolution capability of the user device, and the quality of experience of each of the sources from which the content item is available. A list of search results for the available content items is generated. The list is ordered based on the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources and the recommendation factor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing a voice input stream with interruptions and/or supplemental comments. Generally, a virtual voice assistant may receive an input stream with a first input comprising a voice query from a first voice and a second input comprising a secondary query from a second voice (e.g., an interruption or a supplement). The virtual assistant may determine that the second voice does not match the first voice, and then process the voice query to produce first results. Some embodiments may determine whether the secondary query is a supplement or an interruption and, e.g., choose to ignore an interruption or set aside a supplement if it may be used to help the search query. In some embodiments, results for the first query may be compared with results for the first query with a portion of the supplement.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines content display preferences of nearby detected devices, and transmits content tracks to those devices according to their individual preferences. For example, language preferences are determined from nearby devices, and content is played with corresponding language tracks sent to each device. In this manner, different tracks of content may be sent to different devices according to each device's preferences, so that individualized or personalized versions of content may be played for each different device. Thus, for instance, content may be played with different language tracks, where each track is selected to conform to the preferences of each different device. Accordingly, content may be played with different users or viewers experiencing the content in their preferred language. Embodiments of the disclosure also contemplate any other settings and preferences besides language.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for relocating an overlay overlapping information in content. The systems and methods may comprise receiving a content item, the content item comprising a video image, and determining a first screen position of an information box (e.g., a score box) in the video image. Determining may be performed with image analysis and/or a machine learning model. The system receives an overlay image (e.g., a channel logo) with a second screen position and determines if the second screen position (e.g., for the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., for the score). In response to determining the second screen position (e.g., of the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., the score), the system modifies the second screen position (e.g., for the logo). Then the system generates for display the overlay image on the video in the modified screen position. The system may not relocate the overlay if the overlay is a high priority.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to limiting viewing of media content. More particularly, the present invention relates to classifying segments of content for limited viewing based on user preferences and classifications.
According to a first aspect, there is provided a method for parental control of media content for a media guidance application, the method comprising, determining user preferences comprising settings for restricting viewing of segments of media content, determining media content for user consumption on a user device, determining a classification of each of a plurality of segments of the media content using a content analyzer and classifier, and comparing the determined classifications against the user preferences. In response to the comparing, the method further comprises the steps of, determining an action associated with the determined classification for restricting viewing of one or more of the plurality of segments of the media asset and modifying the one or more of the plurality of segments based on the determined action.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for adaptively controlling the output volume level of audio content being played in a media presentation environment based on a change in the number of users in the media presentation environment. In response to detecting a change in the number of users, a stored output volume adjustment value corresponding to the detected change is retrieved and used to automatically adjust the output volume level of the audio content. In response to receiving a volume change request from a user within a predetermined time after the automatic adjustment of the output volume, the output volume level is adjusted to the user requested value and the stored output volume adjustment value is adjusted based on a difference between the automatically adjusted output volume level and the user-adjusted output volume level.
