Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically recording media assets not explicitly scheduled for recording by a user when the user leaves his or her home. For example, when the user leaves home, a media guidance application, being executed on a user equipment device (such as a set-top box), schedules to record media assets that the user has expressed interest in, but has not explicitly scheduled for recording. If the user returns home before a recording has begun, the media guidance application does not record the media assets the user has not explicitly scheduled for recording.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for requesting media content playback. Media content item metadata relating to product endorsement in the media content item is accessed. An endorsement profile for the media content item is generated based on the media content item metadata. The endorsement profile comprises data relating to which segments of the media content item have product-related content. A manifest file comprising instructions re-questing playback of the media content item is generated based on the endorsement profile for the media content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing speech transcription in a speech processing system are disclosed. Transcriptions of utterances is received and identifications to the transcriptions are assigned. In response to receiving an indication of an erroneous transcribed utterance in at least one of the transcriptions, an audio receiver is automatically activated for receiving a second utterance. In response to receiving the second utterance, an audio file of the second utterance and a corresponding identification of the erroneous transcribed utterance are transmitted to a speech recognition system for a second transcription, and the erroneous transcribed utterance is replaced with the second transcription.

Abstract: A system and method of providing enhanced content, for example, when a viewer may not match with a program in order to make a viewer comfortable and encourage the viewer to continue to consume the program. The system accesses a viewer profile and accesses content to provide for consumption. The system calculates a match score for the content based on the viewer profile and determines if the match score is below a predetermined threshold. If the match score is lower than the threshold, the system generates an enhanced program from the content based on viewer profile and provides the enhanced program for consumption. Enhanced content may include omitting scenes with violence, modifying dialogue with vulgarities, focusing on scenes with preferred actors or setting, adding external content, and other modifications.

Abstract: Methods and systems that provide an interactive media guidance application having a locked mode for viewing media assets. In the locked mode, the interactive media guidance application may provide media assets suited to a certain audience. The interactive media guidance application may determine suitable media assets for the locked mode based on media assets viewed by other users having characteristics similar to the user of the interactive media guidance application. In the locked mode, the interactive media guidance application may allow access to only certain media assets and/or limit the time period for which the media assets are presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a second content item on identifying an event in a first content item. A first content item is received, and the first content item is monitored to identify a change in a factor associated with the first content item. It is determined whether the change in factor is greater than a threshold value. Based on the change in the factor, an event is identified in the first content item. A second content item is generated, wherein the second content item is based on the identified event in the first content item. The first content item and a user interface element are generated for display at a computing device, wherein the user interface element is configured to receive an input and is associated with the second content item. In response to receiving an input, the second content item is generated for output.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for streaming during unavailability of a content server. Upon determining that there are conditions indicating buffering issues during delivery of a media asset, a server determines a first group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset from the server and sharing the media asset on a peer-to-peer network. Then, the server determines a second group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset on a peer-to-peer network from a first group device. The server then determines groupings within which to share and receive the media asset. Next, the server transmits instructions to the devices in the first group to maintain in buffer and share certain portions of the media asset with the second group devices within their grouping. Finally, the server updates information detailing the media asset portions the devices are maintaining in buffer and sharing.

Abstract: A computer implemented method that includes receiving first user usage data and second user usage data indicative of user usage during consumption of a first content and of a second content, respectively. The method includes determining a first user usage pattern for the first content and a second user usage pattern for the second content based on the first user usage data and on the second user usage data, respectively. The method determines potential content overlap between the first content and the second content based on a comparison of the first usage pattern and the second usage pattern and performs an optimization operation based on the potential content overlap.
