Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a number of viewers of a media device are disclosed. The methods comprise generating for display on the media device a media asset, initiating a first scan while displaying the media asset for nearby user devices within a detectable range, determining a number of nearby user devices, determining a direction and distance from the media device to each of the user devices, and determining the number of viewers of the media device currently consuming the media asset, based on the distance and direction of the user devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for streaming during unavailability of a content server. Upon determining that there are conditions indicating buffering issues during delivery of a media asset, a server determines a first group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset from the server and sharing the media asset on a peer-to-peer network. Then, the server determines a second group of devices suitable for receiving the media asset on a peer-to-peer network from a first group device. The server then determines groupings within which to share and receive the media asset. Next, the server transmits instructions to the devices in the first group to maintain in buffer and share certain portions of the media asset with the second group devices within their grouping. Finally, the server updates information detailing the media asset portions the devices are maintaining in buffer and sharing.

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: Systems and method are provided for enabling advertisement display during a group session. A media content item group session is initiated between a first computing device and a second computing device, and a first portion of the media content item is received at the first and second computing devices. A period of time is identified for outputting one or more advertisements. A first selection of advertisements and a second selection of advertisements are identified for the respective first and second computing devices, where the run-times of the first and second selections are based on the period of time. The first and selection of advertisements are received and are output at the respective first and second computing devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating a timeline of media assets on a media guidance application that dynamically adjusts the timeline of related media assets associated with the media asset selected by a user, by comparing keywords. In another embodiment, the systems and methods are described for masking portions of headline of the media asset for increasing interests in selecting the media asset.

Abstract: A plurality of video clips comprising audio of a song are identified from a pool of videos. A portion of the song corresponding to the audio in each video clip is then determined. Using the determined portion, each video clip is mapped to a timeline of the song. A subset of video clips comprising different sections of the song are then selected. Video clips comprising audio from different sections of the song are selected to be included in the personalized video, which is then generated from the selected subset of video clips. The personalized video is then generated for display to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically routing notifications based on device statuses are disclosed herein. For instance, a notification may be generated for a user account corresponding to an application that is installed on a plurality of devices. A system identifies a status of each of the plurality of devices and uses the status of each of the plurality of devices to select a particular device to receive the notification. The system then transmits the notification to the selected particular device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive content streaming based on bandwidth are disclosed. According to one example method, content is requested for delivery. An indication of complexity of a plurality of media content items associated with the content is received. Based on the indication of complexity and an available bandwidth at the user device, at least one of the plurality media content items is selected and retrieved from the media server.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for selectively preventing display of brand and business identifiers in content that is considered offensive, objectionable, disturbing, and/or unsettling, to prevent an unintended association by viewers of the content between the content and the brand or business. A request to display media content, comprising at least one frame with objectionable subject matter, is received. In response to determining the at least one frame comprises objectionable subject matter, a determination is made as to whether an entity identifier is visible in the at least one frame. In response to determining at least one entity identifier is visible in the at least one frame, a first context of the objectionable subject matter and a second context of the entity identifier are determined. The first context is compared to the second context and, based on the comparing, a masking action is determined to be required for the entity identifier.

Abstract: Depth sensing measurements are performed for an area in all directions surrounding a user. Based on the depth sensing measurements, a horizontal plane the area, as well as a plurality of obstructions in the area are identified. A three-dimensional shape representing the maximum volume of contiguous open space is generated based on the horizonal plane and the plurality of obstructions. The three-dimensional shape is then truncated to create a maximally sized convex shape. The largest possible play area is then constructed using the convex shape.
