Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a computer-based communication application that displays, along with an incoming call notification, content specific to the parties involved. The application identifies electronic records of events attended by the users, and retrieves content specific to those records. For example, the application may identify electronic mail or meeting notifications sent between the users and concerning a particular subject matter. Images related to that subject matter are then retrieved and displayed during calls between those users. Users are thus presented with customized and personalized content specific to the subject matter of each call, thus helping them better recognize callers and more readily engage with the call.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing distractions from nearby devices when content susceptible to interruption is being consumed. Content susceptible to interruption is determined, and when this content is consumed on one device, nearby devices are identified and their output characteristics are modified. For example, output volume of nearby devices may be reduced, or the volume of the first device may be increased. This process is repeated with different devices as they each output content determined to be susceptible to interruption. Consumers are thus presented with fewer distractions from surrounding devices while they are consuming content that is susceptible to interruption.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically carrying out instructions for modifying application programs, when those instructions are found from electronic searches. A user may wish to modify operation of an application program in some way. He or she can thus conduct an electronic search for the solution. Search results in the form of text—(e.g., web pages) or audio/video—(e.g., DIY videos) based files are automatically translated into computer executable code. This executable code is then transmitted to the user's device, where it is automatically executed by the device to modify the application program in the desired manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing collaborative comments on content to create and/or modify content are disclosed herein. Each of the plurality of comments include modifying the content. Each of the plurality of comments are is analyzed to identify an action associated with each of the plurality of comments, location of the action in the content, and an owner associated with the action. Furthermore, a marker associated with the action at the identified location in the content is added.

Abstract: The system generates a recommendation for collaborative content to be consumed, thus allowing a large field of content to be parsed. The content may include audio content, video content, image content, or other content. The system identifies a collaborative content and a base content upon which the collaborative content is generated. Based on analysis of the collaborative content and profile information, the system determines recommendation metric, or a score. Based on the metric, the system generates a recommendation of the collaborative content. Collaborative content that is better formed based on signal properties, favorably compared to the base content, created by more highly rated users, or formatted in a preferred way may be more strongly recommended. Signal properties include temporal, spectral, audio, or visual properties of the content. The system outputs the recommendation for storage, display, or both to provide guidance to users consuming or reviewing collaborative content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for activating a personalized user profile on a device based on the detection of an outlying user input. A media guidance application detects a user input that is inconsistent with an active user profile. In response, the media guidance application identifies a candidate user that both shares a location with the device and has a user profile consistent with the user input. The media guidance application activates the user profile of the candidate user as a temporary active user profile on the device.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein optimize the retrieval of missed content by playing back cached content to enable tuners with limited capacity to retrieve the missed content. A content presentation system may receive, with a tuner, a transmission of content comprising media content and advertisements. The content presentation system may cache the advertisements. The content presentation system may determine whether an interruption during the transmission resulted in a missed portion of content and, in response, determine whether an advertisement upcoming at a time period in the transmission of content is cached. If the upcoming advertisement is cached, the content presentation system may play back the cached advertisement at the time period and release the tuner previously receiving the transmission of content to retrieve the missed portion of the content during the time period.

Abstract: The system receives a message from a user, along with a recipient list and generated personalized messages for recipients of the recipient list. The system determines the format of the message, and whether to, and how to, modify the message based on information about the recipient. For example, a recipient category may be used to determine how to personalize a message for each recipient. A relationship between a sender and recipient may be determined using, for example, a database of relationship information. The system modifies, for example, text, images, or video of the message to generate the personalized message. The system may access historical communications records such as a chat group record, a contacts list, a text message record, an email message record, a social media post record, or a comments record corresponding to a media content item to determine how to personalize a message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing interference between content play and video recording among multiple devices located proximate to each other. Microphones of devices recording video are muted, or content play is interrupted, according to the actions of a majority of nearby devices. For example, if most devices are recording video, content play may be interrupted to prevent the video from unintentionally recording unwanted sounds from play of the content. Conversely, if most devices are not recording video, only those devices which are may have their microphones muted. Actions to reduce interference may be taken according to the current behavior of a majority of proximate devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a recommendation to modify deficient a deficient content item. A plurality of content items associated with a topic is retrieved. Each of the content items includes a plurality of portions each associated with a respective sub-topic. A rating for each sub-topic of the content items is calculated, and a minimum viable subset of the sub-topics is identified based on the calculated ratings. A new content item associated with the topic is accessed. A plurality of portions of the new content item is identified and a sub-topic for each identified portion is determined. An omitted sub-topic of the minimum viable subset of the sub-topics that is not included in the sub-topics of the new content item is identified, and the system interrupts upload of the new content and recommends modifying the new content item to include a portion with the omitted sub-topic.
