    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for tracking content consumed by a guest subscriber consuming content with a host subscriber. A host device accessing content transmits a discovery request to identify nearby devices. A guest device in the vicinity receives the discovery request and transmits a response to the host device. As content is played back on the host device, the guest device may receive a content identifier and a progress time from the host device. Using the content identifier and the progress time, a guest device may transmit a request to a server to update a viewing history or subscriber profile associated with the guest subscriber and/or device. A guest subscriber may later resume a program or series from where the content was left on his or her own home or mobile device(s). Communications between a host device and guest device may be direct or via network server and may be secured as private.

    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: receiving a communication from one or more devices capable of recording content, determining, using a wireless communication transceiver, a geographical location of the one or more devices, determining an orientation of the one or more devices, receiving content capturing an event and recorded on the one or more devices, storing the content capturing an event and recorded on the one or more devices, and creating, from a collection of recordings comprising at least the stored content capturing an event and recorded on the one or more devices, a single representation of the event by combining segments of the collection of recordings.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in a virtual or metaverse environment by connecting an NFT marketplace to the virtual or metaverse environment and providing tools to display, sell, broker, and trade NFTs based on matching of user interests is disclosed. The methods generate a weighted taxonomy based on NFTs displayed in the virtual environment. A new user's interest in the NFTs is determined in multiple ways, including if the new user owns NFTs that share characteristics with the taxonomy associated NFTs. A match is determined based on new user's interests in relation to the weighed taxonomy. Upon a match, guidance is provided for avatars of the new user and other NFT owners to virtually meet. Separate servers, locations, and ingress points may be determined to facilitate meetings and buy/sell discussions. If an NFT sale/trade is executed, the sale/trade is recorded in the blockchain.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for detecting key words provided by ancillary devices and acquiring virtual objects based on the detected key words. This may be accomplished by a system displaying an augmented reality view to a user and detecting a received message. The system can determine whether a portion of the message corresponds to an augmented reality object. In response to detecting that the portion of the message corresponds to the augmented reality object, the system can display the augmented reality object in the augmented reality view in a first format. The first format can be based on the environment around the user.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for retrieving an information file from a user profile about a scheduled trip, where access to content may be restricted and identifying, based on the consumption pattern, a first progression point before the scheduled start time and a second progression point after the scheduled end time of the scheduled trip. Based on the difference between the first and second progression points, the media guidance application causes to be stored the respective media assets on a consumption device. Then before departing for the scheduled trip, the media guidance application confirms the first progression points against the current progression point and causes to adjust the stored media assets based on a difference between the current progression point and the first progression point.
