Abstract: The system receives a message having a sender and a recipient. The system identifies entities associated with the message and associated with any content that is associated with the message. The system determines whether to, and how to, modify the message based on relationship information among the sender, the recipient, and any entities identified in the message or components of the message. 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 personalized message include the original message along with context information to help indicate the relevance of the message to the recipient. The context information can include text, images, video, or other information. To illustrate, the context information can include keywords or identifiers that indicate entities associated with the 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: The system generates a recommendation of content for use in collaboration, allowing relevant content to be used as base content. The system identifies a content item, and retrieves reviews for the content item from one or more sources or forums. The system filters the reviews to generate a reduced set of reviews based on text of the respective reviews, profile information associated with the reviews, and reference information. A recommendation metric is determined for the content item based on the reduced set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria. The recommendation criteria specify which aspects of the content impact recommendation, and how those aspects impact recommendation. The recommendation metric indicates whether the content item is recommended as base content, to be used for generating collaborative content. The system generates a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric, and outputs the indicator for display, storage, or both.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for applying behavioral-based parental controls for media assets. The disclosed techniques herein discuss determining a media asset viewed by a user and character actions of a character within the media asset. Behavioral user data is received which includes a user action. A determination is made whether the user action matches one of the character actions. If a match is found, a parental control restriction setting for the media asset is applied and this parental control restriction is stored in memory.

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 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 debiasing a recommendation engine are disclosed herein. A search query associated with a user profile is received at a recommendation engine. Control circuitry generates a result set of items of content based on the search query and generates a bias score for a content attribute based on the result set. The control circuitry also generates a time-averaged bias score for the content attribute based on a plurality of search queries associated with the user profile. Based on the bias score and the time-averaged bias score, the control circuitry determines whether a bias is signaled for the content attribute. Finally, the control circuitry outputs, for display via a computing device, the result set or a debiased result set based on a result of the determination of whether the bias is signaled.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated contact deletion based on content communications are disclosed herein. Based on a content item electronically communicated from a source account to a destination account, a contact deletion trigger is generated to define a criterion for deleting a contact entry that identifies the source account and is stored for the destination account in a contact database. Based on the contact deletion trigger, a determination is made as to whether the criterion for deleting the contact entry has been met. In response to determining that the criterion for deleting the contact entry has been met, the contact entry is automatically deleted from the contact database.

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.
