Abstract: Systems and methods for curation of content, such as e-learning content or online instructional materials, according to particular criteria such as the amount of pictorial representations contained therein, the amount of verbal expression contained therein, and whether the content contains a summary. Other criteria may also be employed. Users may select any one or more of these and other criteria. Content is then sorted according to the selected criteria and presented as an ordered list of content that users can select for viewing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining parameters of devices that may have influenced generated content, and appending values of these parameters to the generated content for the benefit of other users. Devices near the location at which the content was generated may be selected, and parameters of these devices may be retrieved. These device parameters are often relevant to the generated content. Accordingly, the retrieved parameter values may be appended to the generated content for transmission along with the content. In this manner, other users may view both the content and the parameters of nearby devices that may have influenced the setting of the content, assisting users in, for example, recreating the content or its subject matter for themselves.

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 displaying primary content without any overlaid secondary content, and instead transmitting the secondary content to the viewer as a message through another communication channel. For example, a news banner is removed from display on a viewer’s television, and the text of the news banner is encapsulated in a message sent to the viewer’s primary social media account. In this manner, the viewer may watch the primary content uninterrupted by the secondary content, and is thus presented with fewer distractions and a potentially more enjoyable viewing experience.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for identifying and marking content items that have or have not been shared to social media or content hosting services. The methods and systems use a marking engine to access a content item in a content library and identify the content hosts or social media sites to which the content item was previously transmitted. A marking engine may create a user interface, generate a thumbnail of each content item, and generate a graphical indicator for each identified content host. A marking engine may generate for display thumbnail representations of each content item with graphical indicators of each of the identified content hosts. A marking engine may sort thumbnails by metadata associated with the corresponding content items, such as creation time and date, location, share status, and other classifications and filters, to indicate which content items are ready to be shared to a content host.

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 for temporarily downloading an application program from a website are disclosed herein. The website provides a feature set corresponding to an anticipated user activity and a downloadable application program. The anticipated user activity is identified based on user data corresponding to future activities of a user. A correspondence between the anticipated user activity and the website is determined and the application program is retrieved from the website and installed on the user device. In response to detecting absence of a user interaction with the application program on the user device within a predefined time period, the application program is automatically uninstalled from the user 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 manages a keyboard displayed on a touchscreen to address non-responsive regions of the touchscreen. The system monitors usage behavior of the displayed keyboard on the touchscreen. The system determines the non-responsive region of the touchscreen based on the usage behavior. For example, the non-responsive region may result from damage caused by dropping. The system modifies the displayed keyboard to avoid the non-responsive region of the touchscreen. For example, the system may change the location, size, orientation, and/or layout of the keyboard, or keyboard characters thereof, to avoid the non-responsive region.
