Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating a playlist for a simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets. The system retrieves a user preference associated with a user profile and receives a selection of a first media asset and a second media asset from the plurality of media assets for presentation on a user device. The system parses the respective audio streams of the first media asset and the second media asset to identify one or more preferred audio segments based on the user preference and generates the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments. Based on a generated audio playlist, the system generates, for presentation on the user device, the video stream for each of the first media asset and the second media asset and the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for responding to a sleep-state event. One example method includes receiving and generating, at a computing device, media content for output and receiving a sleep-state event. A type of the content being generated for output is identified and, based on the type of content, an action to perform in response to receiving the sleep-state event is identified. The action to perform is generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating for presentation to a user at least one modified segment corresponding to a physical exercise depicted during presentation of a media asset to a user. The media asset may comprise multiple segments and one or more exercises, where each respective exercise corresponds to one or more segments, and input may be received from one or more sensors during presentation of the media asset, where the input is related to the user. Based on the received input, a determination may be made that an alternate version of an exercise corresponding to at least one particular segment of the multiple segments should be provided instead of a version of the exercise scheduled to be provided. The at least one particular segment may be modified to correspond to the alternate version of the exercise, and the at least one modified particular segment may be generated for presentation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for providing to filter unwanted sounds from a media asset. Voice profiles of a first character and a second character are generated based on a first voice signal and a second voice signal received from the media device during a presentation. The user provides a selection to avoid a certain sound or voice in association with the second character. During a presentation of the media asset, a second audio segment is analyzed to determine, based on the voice profile of the second character, whether the second voice signal includes the voice of a second character. If so, the second voice signal output characteristics are adjusted to reduce the sound.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to dynamically generate metadata for a live media stream. The system determines that a first user on a social media network has started a live media stream. In response, the system identifies a topic of the live media stream based on a frame of the live media stream and identifies another person featured in the frame of the live media stream based on social connections of the first user in the social media network. The system then generates a title for the live media stream based on the identified topic and the identified person, and transmits a notification to a second user that the first user is streaming live, where the notification includes the generated title.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling user-preferred trick-play modes. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a method for enabling user-preferred trick-play modes based on content classifications of a content item. In embodiments described herein, methods and systems are provided for varying the user experience with respect to trick-play operation. For example, experience may be varied based on the content being consumed or based on a combination of content being consumed and computing device being used.

Abstract: In systems and methods for enhancing group watch experiences, a first user's reaction is detected using multiple sensors, e.g., at least one camera and a microphone, and may be combined with context information to determine an action to perform at user equipment devices of other users participating in the group watch to convey the first user's reaction. Images from the at least one camera can be used to determine a portion of the screen to which the user's reaction is directed and/or another user to whom the reaction is directed. The reaction may be conveyed using one or more of an audio effect, a visual effect, haptic effect or text, e.g., to highlight the determined portion or user, display an icon and/or output an audio or video clip. A signal for providing haptic feedback may be transmitted to the user equipment device of the determined user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for highlighting objects with a primary content that are likely to be of interest to a user viewing the primary content. More particularly, when the system receives a segment of primary content to be displayed on a user equipment device for consumption, the system analyzes the received segment to identify an object within the received segment. The system then checks a database storing supplemental content to determine whether supplemental content associated with the identified object is available. When supplemental content associated with the identified object is available within the database, the system modifies the received segment of the primary content to highlight the identified object and displays the modified segment of the primary content on the user equipment device for consumption.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing content by generating a bookmark data structure for a topic based on determining retrieval of a first content item related to the topic, of a first content type. In response to determining retrieval of the first content item, the system may add the first content item to the bookmark data structure for the topic. The system may then determine retrieval of a second content item related to the topic, of a second content type and, in response to determining retrieval of the second content item, the system may add the second content item to the bookmark data structure for the topic. The system may generate, for display in a user interface (UI), a menu based on the data structure, with interactive UI elements that provide preview and/or access to the content item when interaction with the UI element is detected.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for receiving media content for display in a shared activity session; receiving additional content corresponding to respective users of one or more other user equipment devices participating in the shared activity session; generating for display, using control circuitry, a display screen including the media content and at least some of the additional content; and, during the shared activity session, automatically adapting the display of the additional content using the control circuitry based on the media content and/or the additional content. For example, images, avatars or video of the users displayed alongside the media content may be adapted using backgrounds or filters reflecting the media content; additional content, such as audio or chat messages, provided by those users; and/or information in their user profiles. The shared activity may be, for example, a group watch session, a videoconference, videocall, audio call, chat session or multi-player game session.
