Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling a user to access a blocked media asset. These systems and methods allow a user to request that a parent, or another user, who can approve access to the blocked media asset approve access to the blocked media asset for viewing. The request may be transmitted as a notification to a mobile phone or another suitable device, such that the parent the other user can approve the request, even though they may be remote from the requesting user. Both the requesting user and the user whose approval is required to unblock the media asset (i.e., the approver), are identified by the system based on an identifier associated with each user. This informs the approver which user submitted the request. Additionally, this also adds a layer of security, since the approver must enter an identifier to authenticate their identity to the system before being able to unblock the program for the requesting user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and an apparatus are provided for presenting an option to purchase an NFT based on a scene of a media asset to an advertiser. One example computer-implemented method includes obtaining, from a first source, a scene of a media asset, determining that the scene comprises a product, obtaining, from a second source, a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the scene, matching the NFT to an advertiser based on the product, and presenting an option to purchase the matched NFT to the advertiser.

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. In response, current user contextual data of the user device is retrieved. A user availability level for consuming the voice interaction is determined based on the current user contextual data. The voice interaction is altered based on the user availability level. Content of the voice interaction may be altered to be suitable for consumption. The altered voice interaction is outputted at the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating cybersickness that is caused due to display of content, such as a 360° video or a virtual reality experience, are disclosed. The methods measure biometrics of a user to determine a cybersickness score. The score is associated with a cybersickness severity level. A determination is made whether the user's cybersickness severity level exceeds a threshold, and, if so, mitigation or remedial actions are automatically performed. The mitigation options range from altering content, changing device configuration, and automating home automation devices to automating body electronics worn by the user. The type of mitigation option selected is based on the user's cybersickness severity level. The methods also determine demographics of a plurality of users who encountered cybersickness due to engagement with the content. A match between the user's demographics and the plurality of users is determined and accordingly mitigation options are selected on the basis of the match.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying a media guidance application. Such systems and methods may aid a user in selecting media content for viewing which may be of particular interest to them. Such systems and methods may receive programming information from one or more program guide sources, generate a media guidance application for display based upon the received programming information, receive behavior information from at least one further source, and generate parameters for modifying the media guidance application in response to the behavior information. The systems and methods may then modify the media guidance application based upon the generated parameters and display the modified media guidance application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for streaming immersive content to a device. This may be accomplished by a system displaying a piece of media on a display in a first format and determining that the piece of media is approaching a segment of the piece of media that is available in a second format (e.g., light field content). In response to determining that the upcoming segment is available in the second format, the system can use one or more sensors to determine a position of a user in relation to the display. The system can then send a request for the piece of media in the second format, wherein the request comprises the position of the user. The system can then receive and display the segment of the piece of media in the second format, wherein the segment is customized according to the position of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling virtual assistant interaction during a conference. A conference is initiated between a first computing device and at least a second computing device, and audio input is received at an audio input device, wherein the audio input is received during the conference and the audio input device is in communication with the first computing device. The audio input is transmitted to the second computing device, and a command for activating a virtual assistant is identified in the audio input. In response to identifying a command, the virtual assistant is activated, and the transmission of the audio input to at least the second computing device is automatically stopped. A query is received at the audio input device, and an action, based on the query, is performed via the virtual assistant.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selectively providing data to service providers. Wireless signal characteristics may be transmitted over a wireless network by network equipment in a household, and a map of the household may be generated based on the determined wireless signal characteristics. An API request may be received from a service provider, and an authorization level of the service provider may be determined. Based on the authorization level of the service provider, at least one portion of the map and at least one of the wireless signal characteristics to transmit to the service provider may be identified, and the identified at least one portion of the map and at least one of the wireless signal characteristics may be transmitted to the service provider via the API.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a personal boundary of an avatar in an XR environment. The system identifies a first avatar in an extended reality (XR) environment based on rule data stored in a storage. In response to the system detecting that the first avatar has entered a portion of the XR environment at a communicable distance from a second avatar, the system does the following steps. The system determines an offensiveness rating of the first avatar. The system retrieves, from the storage, an offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. The system compares the offensiveness rating of the first avatar and offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. In response to determining, based on the comparing, that the offensiveness rating of the first avatar exceeds the offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar, the system automatically censors one or more messages from the first avatar to the second avatar.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a content item recommendation based on an identified posture. An input associated with a content item delivery service is received at a computing device. A capture of a user is received, and a digital representation of the user is generated based on the capture of the user. A posture of the user is determined based on the digital representation of the user, and a content item genre is identified based on the determined posture. A content item recommendation that is based on the identified genre is generated and output.
