Abstract: Systems and methods for distinguishing valid voice commands from false voice commands in an interactive media guidance application. In some aspects, the interactive media guidance application receives, at a user device, a signature sound sequence. The interactive media guidance application determines, using control circuitry, based on the signature sound sequence, a threshold gain for the current location of the user device. The interactive media guidance application receives, at the user device, a voice command. The interactive media guidance application determines, using the control circuitry, based on the voice command, a gain for the voice command. The interactive media guidance application determines, using the control circuitry, whether the gain for the voice command is different from the threshold gain. Based on determining that the gain for the voice command is different from the threshold gain, the interactive media guidance application executes, using the control circuitry, the voice command.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for tracking content consumed by a guest subscriber consuming content with a host subscriber. A host device accessing content transmits a discovery request to identify nearby devices. A guest device in the vicinity receives the discovery request and transmits a response to the host device. As content is played back on the host device, the guest device may receive a content identifier and a progress time from the host device. Using the content identifier and the progress time, a guest device may transmit a request to a server to update a viewing history or subscriber profile associated with the guest subscriber and/or device. A guest subscriber may later resume a program or series from where the content was left on his or her own home or mobile device(s).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing a storyline based media content. At least two storylines may be identified, each storyline specifying an order of providing a plurality of episodes from a plurality of interrelated series. Identifiers of the plurality of episodes are displayed. Then identifiers of a first set of the plurality of episodes that are relevant to the first storyline are graphically modified to indicate relevance to the first storyline. Identifiers of a second set of the plurality of episodes that are relevant to the second storyline are also graphically modified to indicate relevance to the second storyline. A first and second storyline identifier are generating for display to enable storyline selection. The interrelated series are then provided to a user device in the order specified by the selected storyline.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a media guidance application that enables a user to distinguish media assets that overlap with the user's appointments from media assets that do not. Specifically, a media guidance application may access the user's calendar application and receive the user's calendar data from that calendar application. The media guidance application may compare the user's calendar data with media asset scheduling data in order to determine whether any overlaps exist. For each overlapping media asset, the media guidance application may store a conflict indicator. The media guidance application may generate for display a set of media asset identifiers (e.g., program listings) where the media asset identifiers that overlap with at least one calendar appointment are visually distinguished from the media asset identifiers that do not overlap with any calendar appointments.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for selecting supplemental content for display near a user device during presentation of a media asset on die user device. Often, the playback of the media asset when displayed at the user's home is limited to a single display, such as on a television or tablet. By selecting supplemental content for display near a user device during presentation of the media asset, the playback of the media asset will encompass multiple displays and provide a more immersive viewing experience for the user.
