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: Systems and methods for generating supplemental audio for an audio-only mode are disclosed. For example, a system generates for output a content item that includes video and audio. In response to determining that an audio-only mode is activated, the system determines that a portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode. In response to determining that the portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode, the system generates for output supplemental audio associated with the content item during the portion of the content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selecting a 3D object for display in an extended reality environment. A space in an extended reality environment is determined for placement of a 3D object. A set of space parameters are determined comprising: an amount of memory available for generating the display of the extended reality environment and an amount of computing power available for generating the display of the extended reality environment. The 3D object is selected for display in the space based on the amount of memory and the amount of computing power available.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a personal boundary of an avatar in an XR environment. The system identifies a first avatar in an extended reality (XR) environment based on rule data stored in a storage. In response to the system detecting that the first avatar has entered a portion of the XR environment at a communicable distance from a second avatar, the system does the following steps. The system determines an offensiveness rating of the first avatar. The system retrieves, from the storage, an offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. The system compares the offensiveness rating of the first avatar and offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. In response to determining, based on the comparing, that the offensiveness rating of the first avatar exceeds the offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar, the system automatically censors one or more messages from the first avatar to the second avatar.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating the virality of a content item are disclosed herein. First data is collected relating to a first content item and second data is collected relating to a second content item. The first and second data are used to plot a continuous probability distribution and using the continuous probability distribution, a virality score is calculated for a third content item. In response to the virality score being greater than a first threshold, the third content item is classified as likely to be viral and the third content item is queued for auto-publishing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving audio playback at a playback device are described herein. In some embodiments, a system transitions between causing playback of a radio broadcast stream to causing playback of device music, such as in response to determining that a quality of the radio broadcast stream is below a threshold value. In some embodiments, a system selects songs to play based on device preferences of a plurality of different media devices. In some embodiments, a system selects a device from which to retrieve songs for playback based on one or more rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods for searching, identifying, scoring, and providing access to companion media assets for a primary media asset are disclosed. In response to a request for companion content, metadata within a predefined time period of a play position when the request was made, is downloaded. A dynamic search template that contains search parameters based on the downloaded metadata is generated. In response to the search conducted using the search template, a plurality of companion media assets are identified and then verified. A trust score for the companion media asset is accessed. The trust score may be analyzed and modified based on its contextual relationship to the play position of the primary media asset. If the trust score is within a rating range, then a link to access the companion media asset, or a specific segment or play position within the companion media asset, is provided.
