Abstract: Improved content recommendations are generated based on a knowledge graph of a content item, which is based on an attribute of the content item, metadata regarding the content item, a viewing history, and user preferences determined by analysis and selected by a user. An option for selecting attributes of interest from a plurality of attributes is generated for display. A content recommendation based on the selected attributes is generated and displayed in a user interface, which changes as user preference selections change. As a result, a user quickly identifies and consumes a customized list of content items related to the user's favorite actor, character, title, depicted object, depicted setting, actual setting, type of action, type of interaction, genre, release date, release decade, director, MPAA rating, critical rating, plot origin point, plot end point, and the like. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying related media content items. First media content item is outputted on a device. A user interface input requesting media content related to the first media content item is received. Metadata is accessed for a portion of the first media content item within a predetermined time period away from a pause position of the first media content item to identify topic keyword. An offer to interrupt the first media content item to output content related to the topic keyword is displayed. In response to offer's acceptance, a portion of an identified related media content item that is associated with the identified topic keyword is identified. The portion of the identified related media content item is transmitted for display while the media content is paused. The device then resumes displaying the media content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for summarizing captions, configuring playback speed, and rewriting the caption file for a media asset are disclosed. The system determines whether to display the original captions or a summarized version of the captions, which are based on user's language proficiency level, reading pace, and historical data, and can be generated either on-demand or automatically when rewinds and pauses are detected. The caption file which includes the original captions can be rewritten. The system determines whether to stream a caption or a rewritten file to a media device based on user or system selections. In the absence of a caption file, or when the caption file cannot be summarized, the playback speed of the media asset is slowed down to provide additional reading time to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating a summary for a piece of content using a thumbnail container. This may be accomplished by a system receiving a thumbnail container related to a piece of content. The system may also receive user information, a device characteristic, and/or content information related to the piece of content and use the received data to select a machine learning model. The selected machine learning model can identify one or more thumbnails of the thumbnail container as a thumbnail of interest to a user. The system can then generate a summary of the piece of content based on the thumbnail identified by the machine learning model and display the generated summary for the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to mitigate stalling of streaming content due to rebuffering so that, e.g., the content consumer does not experience gaps in playback. In some embodiments, by buffering streaming content simultaneously at two bitrate levels—e.g., one of the lowest bitrates and a better-quality bitrate, within the bandwidth limitations—rebuffering-caused gaps in playback of a higher quality (HQ) stream may be filled with a lower quality (LQ) stream. For instance, client-side dual buffers may store n segments from the HQ stream during a given time and a multiple of n number of segments from the LQ stream, thus allowing for many of the LQ segments to be output if the HQ stream is rebuffering. If a segment of content is beginning to be played back as an LQ segment, there is no reason to buffer the same segment from the HQ stream. Moreover, after a segment of content is played back (or decoded) as either HQ or LQ, the corresponding HQ segment and/or LQ segment may be discarded from the dual buffer, e.g., to create buffer space for upcoming segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining, based on recommendations provided by users that have consumed a media asset, which consumption options may be configured on a media device such that when configured enhance the user viewing experience for a specific media asset. The method includes accessing comments posted by other users that have consumed the media asset. The comments are analyzed to determine a consumption option recommendation. If the number of comments meet a threshold value, then the system either automatically configures the media device or configures the media device upon user approval with the recommended consumption option. The recommendation to configure a consumption option on the media device is made only if the recommendation is supported by the media device. The system also detects through audio and image analysis which users are consuming the media asset and accordingly configures the consumption options to their preferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for caching content items. At least first and second content items are stored in a cache. A determination is made as to whether there is common content between the first content item and the second content item. In response to determining that there is common content between the first content item and the second content item, at least a portion of one of the first content item and the second content item is deleted. A request for the common content is received. In response to receiving the request for the common content, the common content is retrieved from the other of the first content item and the second content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for identifying a playlist of highlights to use for refreshing a user on a plot related to a media asset the user has requested to access based on how long it has been since the user last saw related programming. The media guidance application may receive a request from a user to access a media asset and may determine whether the user previously consumed a related media asset to the media asset. The media guidance application may determine whether a period of time between receiving the request and a time when the user previously consumed the related media asset exceeds a threshold period of time. If the period of time does not exceed the threshold, the media guidance application may play back a predefined playlist of highlights, and if it exceeds the threshold, the media guidance application may play back a customized playlist of highlights.

Abstract: A payment transaction is initiated for a user, based on a voice command, on a public voice-activated device. A user device associated with the user is identified. A transaction identifier is generated and transmitted to the identified user device. Once the user has entered their banking or credit card information to use for payment, a payment token is received from the user device. The transaction is then completed using the payment token. The payment token may be generated from a local digital wallet on the user device, or from a server-based digital wallet.
