Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for modifying messages transmitted between a first computing device and a second computing device based on the determination of a context of messages transmitted between the first and second computing devices. A first message, prepared to be transmitted to a second computing device, is prepared at a first computing device. The message has a context (e.g., the message was generated using a voice-to-text application). Based on the context, a modification of a responsive message is determined (e.g., the responsive message will be transmitted with an indication to be perceived at the first computing device through a text-to-voice application). In response to determining the modification, the responsive message is modified and transmitted from the second computing device to the first computing device. The modification is based on the responsive message context being distinct from the received message context.

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 are described for generating a super-interface that aggregates content identifiers from different content sources. A super-interface is generated for display. The super-interface comprises a first interface that comprises a first plurality of content items available from a first content source and a second interface that comprises a second plurality of content items available from a second content source. The second content source is different from the first content source. The first interface and the second interface are simultaneously accessible to a first device. A user preference is detected based on a user interaction with the first interface. The second interface is automatically updated to comprise identifiers of a third plurality of content items that are available from the second content source. The third plurality of content items is selected based on the detected user preference from the user interaction with the first interface.

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: Methods and systems for a media guidance application that may enhance viewer experience. The media guidance application may receive video assets from content capture devices at different locations, determine characteristics of the media assets and assign content tags, corresponding to the characteristics, to the media assets. The media guidance application may receive a video-feed request from another location and determine video feed criterion associated with the request. The media guidance application may use a database to determine media assets with characteristics matching the video feed criterion, and may generate for display the media assets in a video feed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for customizing a musical score of a media asset. In some aspects, control circuitry receives a media asset including metadata and a video component, a foreground audio component, and/or a background audio component. The control circuitry generates for display the media asset. The control circuitry receives an instruction to replace a portion of the background audio component of the media asset being displayed. The control circuitry identifies an attribute for the portion of the background audio component from the metadata. The control circuitry retrieves a user preference relating to background audio. The control circuitry determines an audio asset based on the attribute and the user preference. The control circuitry retrieves the audio asset. The control circuitry modifies the media asset by replacing the portion of the background audio component with the audio asset. The control circuitry generates for display the modified media asset.
