Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering multiple media assets for a plurality of users are disclosed herein. A plurality of users proximate to a display device may detected and split into groups based on preference for a specific media asset. Media assets may be generated on a display device in a layout based on the number of users in each group. When a new user enters the proximity of the display device the group membership may be recalculated and based on the new group memberships the display layout may be updated.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to detect an inaudible signal associated with a first audible signal of an audio input. The inaudible signal may include a frequency signature. The frequency signature may be associated with an electronic device type. The systems and methods may activate a response monitor. The response monitor may be activated for a predetermined time. The response monitor may be activated responsive to the frequency signature. The systems and methods may determine a content characteristic of the first audible signal based on the inaudible signal. The systems and methods may include generating a message. The message may be based on the content characteristic. The systems and methods may include transmitting the message. The message may be transmitted on a condition that a second audible signal corresponds to the message and is received within the predetermined time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for emulating an environment created by the outputs of a plurality of devices. The system receives device control data for a device in a first venue. The control of the outputs of said devices according to the device control data creates an environment within the first venue. The system retrieves profile data for devices within a second venue. The system associates a device in the second venue with a device from the first venue, both devices having a similar output type. The system then generates control information adapted from the associated device of the first venue for the device in the second venue. The system controls the outputs of each device in the second plurality of devices according to the generated control information to emulate the environment within the first venue in the second venue.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to automatically detect a query in interactive content. A system may implement a method that includes receiving an audible signal. The method may include determining that a portion of the audible signal includes speech. The method may include translating at least the portion of the audible signal. The portion of the audible signal may be translated into a natural language output. The method may include generating an identifier (ID) associated with the speech. The ID may be generated on a condition that the natural language output includes a trigger. The method may include generating an inaudible signal that includes the ID. The method may include synchronizing the inaudible signal with the audible signal. The method may include transmitting the audible signal at a first frequency. The method may include transmitting the inaudible signal at a second frequency.
