Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for performing user device power conservation. To this end, the systems and methods operate a user device in a normal operation mode to provide media content to the user device. While operating in the normal operation mode, Systems and methods monitor the provided media content to determine that the provided media content includes an event that is of interest to the user. In response to determining that the provided media content includes an event of interest to the user, systems and methods enter an enhanced mode. In the enhanced mode, systems and methods determine that an enriched media content is relevant to the provided media content. In response to determining that the enriched media content is relevant to the provided media, systems and methods provide the enriched media content to the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending a media asset relating to a character unknown to a user are provided herein. The systems and methods may receive a first media asset viewed by a user, determine a first character in the first media asset, and include the first character in the character viewing profile for the user. Further, the systems and methods may receive a second media asset, including the first character, determine that a second character appears in the second media asset, and determine that the second character is not in the character viewing profile. The systems and methods may recommend a third media asset to the user for the second character.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for determining personalized timing for generating for display advertisements to users. Rather than an expert determining time segments of a media asset most suitable for presenting advertisements to users, the most suitable time segments in a media asset for presenting advertisements to users may be customized based on a user's profile information and/or the user's level of engagement in a media asset. The media guidance application may parse a media asset into multiple time segments and determine one or more time segments associated with metadata that matches content characteristics preferred by the user. One or more advertisements may be presented to the user in these time segments determined by the media guidance application instead of the time segments determined by the expert.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for presenting targeted metadata associated with media asset identifiers. For example, based on stored user preferences (e.g., the user likes a particular actor) and context (e.g., whether an actor is trending on social media near the user's location), the systems and methods may rank attributes associated with the media asset (e.g., title, actors, director, genre, etc.). The systems and methods may then determine a number of attributes that can be displayed based on a size of the media asset identifier (e.g., a cell in a grid-guide) and select the number of attributes that can be displayed (e.g., based on the number of characters, the top two ranked attributes are selected). The systems and methods then display the media asset identifier (e.g., the cell in the grid-guide) with the selected attributes.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting a media stream for display based on reducing a time duration required to consume a media asset are presented herein. A first media stream, where the presentation of the media asset began at a first time, is generated for display. A second media stream, that started presenting the media asset at a second time, is stored in memory. The first media stream is generated for display for a time period and the stored second media stream is generated for display after this time period.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming media having important content. If a user is prevented from viewing media having important content that will be displayed eminently, the media having the important content may be displayed on a second device. For example, in this manner, a user will not inadvertently miss content from a movie or sports game right before an important scene in the movie or an important play in the sports game is displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing a media guidance application that resizes content based on a relative importance of the content. For example, a display may have first and second content generated for display. If the first content is more important to a user than the second content, a size of the first content will be increased with respect to a size of the second content on the display. If the second content is more important to the user than the first content, then a size of the second content will be increased with respect to a size of the first content on the display.

Abstract: A media guidance application may detect that results provided in response to a natural language query entered by the user are not relevant to the user. The media guidance application may then identify a media asset type and a media asset name that corresponds to the natural language query. Based on the media asset type and the media asset name, the media guidance application may select an information resource, transmit the natural language query to the information resource, and retrieve and generate for display an answer to the natural language query from the information resource.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming media having important content. If a user tries to change a display away from first media to second media, where the first media has important content that will be displayed eminently, the first media having the important content may be displayed in full-screen and the second media may be displayed in a picture-in-picture window overlaid on the first media that continues to be displayed in full-screen. For example, in this manner, a user will not inadvertently change television channels away from a movie or sports game right before an important scene in the movie or an important play in the sports game is displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing content during reduced streaming quality. Data streaming is susceptible to degradation in quality that adversely affects the delivery of content. For example, sufficient reduction in streaming quality can cause video and audio portions of a data stream to become unsynchronized. The system compares currently streamed video frames to previously received video frames to identify suitable replacement video frames for the currently streamed video frames in the event that the currently streamed video frames are affected by the sufficiently reduced streaming quality.
