Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively providing audio alerts via a speaker device are disclosed herein. A system plays first audio content through a speaker. A microphone captures second audio content comprising an alert. Output of the second audio content through the speaker is suppressed by using noise cancellation. The system identifies the alert within the second audio content and determines a priority level of the alert. The system determines, based on the priority level, that the alert should be reproduced, and audibly reproduces the alert via the speaker, with the first audio content or instead of the first audio content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing interactive content contextually related to an occurrence. An illustrative method generates for display, at a media consumption device, a display of the live event, wherein the display of the live event comprises the occurrence, determines a beginning of the occurrence in the display of the live event, in response to determining the beginning of the occurrence in the display of the live event, generates for simultaneous display, with the display of the live event, interactive content related to the occurrence, determines whether the occurrence in the live event has ended in real time, and in response to determining that the occurrence in the live event has ended in real time, ceases the generating for display of the interactive content related to the occurrence.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating content based on matching mappings by implementing deconstruction and reconstruction techniques. The system may retrieve a first content structure that includes a first object with a first mapping that includes a first list of attribute values. The system may then search content structures for a matching content structure having a second object with a second list of attributes and a second mapping including second attribute values corresponding to the second list of attributes. Upon finding a match, the system may generate a new content structure having the first object from the first content structure with the second mapping from the matching content structure. The system may then generate for output a new content segment based on the newly generated content structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating new content segments based on object name identification. A content segment may be received from a device and a content structure is generated based on the content segment. The content structure includes objects each having attributes. The system may search a contact database associated with the device to identify a matching entry of the contact database with a particular object. The comparison matches metadata of the matching entry with an attribute of the particular object. Upon matching, the first object is modified to include a name attribute based on the matching metadata of the matching entry. In response to receiving a request using the name of the particular object to create a new content segment, the system inserts the particular object into a new content structure and a new content segment is generated for display from the new content structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for receiving, at a first device of a first user, a message from a second device of a second user, and determining that the first user device is programmed to refrain from alerting the first user to the message. In response to determining that the first user device is programmed to refrain from alerting the first user to the message, the systems and methods determine whether the message is related to a media asset that the first user is presently viewing. In response to determining that the message is related to a media asset that the first user is presently viewing, the systems and methods alert the first user to the message, notwithstanding that the first user device is programmed to refrain from alerting the first user to the message.

Abstract: During a conversation the participants of the conversation may use catchphrases that are associated with particular characters, media assets, or media personalities. The catchphrases may be associated with information such as the media asset where the catchphrase was originally spoken, the speaker, and keywords relating to the media asset. Based on this associated information and the participant's use of the catchphrase, the system may provide a media asset recommendation to the participant for a media asset that does not include the catchphrase.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for receiving, at a first device of a first user, a message from a second device of a second user, and determining that the first user device is programmed to refrain from alerting the first user to the message. In response to determining that the first user device is programmed to refrain from alerting the first user to the message, the systems and methods determine whether the message is related to media previously discussed in a conversation between the first user and the second user. In response to determining that the message is related to media previously discussed in the conversation, the systems and methods determine a recommendation related to content of the message, and transmit the recommendation to the second device.
