Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating summaries of unconsumed portions of an ordered series of media assets, customized for multiple users. A media guidance application may determine that a given media asset of an ordered series is to be collectively consumed by a first user and a second user. A first portion of an ordered series, that both the first user and the second user have not yet consumed, is identified together with a second portion of the ordered series that the first user has consumed but the second user has not yet consumed. A custom summary including a detailed summary of the first portion (e.g., a two minute summary) and less detailed summary of the second portion (e.g., a one minute summary) is generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating search suggestions for a search query of multiple entities. The disclosed techniques herein discuss a determination made for whether the primary search term is associated with a plurality of entities. In a positive determination, for each respective entity of the plurality of entities, firstly, a metadata identifier is determined. The metadata identifier is unique among each of the plurality of entities other than the respective entity. Secondly, a suggested search string is generated including search string elements that include the primary search term, the entity, and the metadata identifier. Generation of audio or display of the suggested search string is output.

Abstract: Methods and systems for calculating, storing, and allowing electronic searches for metadata associated with media titles. The metadata includes scores specific to each actor and each genre of a media title, where the scores indicate the degree to which an actor's performance in that title corresponds to a particular genre. Electronic searches for particular actors' performance in a specific genre thus return more accurate results that more correctly reflect how well the actors' performances reflect that genre.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing presentation of content. A determination may be made, based on user information related to the current media asset, whether the presentation of the current media asset is not likely to be of interest to the user. In response to determining that the presentation of the current media asset is not likely to be of interest to the user, a selectable option may be presented to skip current content (e.g., advertisement content, or another currently presented media asset) and start presentation of a next media asset (e.g., a selected media asset, or a media asset similar to the current media asset).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating virtual reality scenes from a textual document. The textual document is parsed to identify a plurality of text portions corresponding to a plurality of scenes. Each of the plurality of text portions is analyzed to identify a plurality of nouns and a plurality of related verbs. A virtual reality (VR) scene including a plurality of VR objects depicted as performing a set of actions is generated for each of the plurality of text portions, based on the nouns and related verbs identified in the corresponding text portion. Each VR scene includes at least one portal which a user may interact with to view another VR scene and the set of actions in a VR scene may be repeated while the VR scene is being viewed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for providing a user with a notification, or access to content, based on the user's factual discourse during a conversation with other users. A first user may provide a first statement. A second user may provide a second statement. An application determines the first and the second statement are associated with first and second user profiles, respectively. The application analyzes the elements of each respective statement and determines there is a conflict between the user statements. In response to determining there is a conflict between the respective statements, the application generates a respective search query to verify each respective statement. When the application determines there is an answer that resolves the conflict between the respective statements, the application generates a notification for the users that comprises the answer that resolves the conflict and may include access to content affirming the answer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and an apparatus are provided for presenting an option to purchase an NFT based on a scene of a media asset to an advertiser. One example computer-implemented method includes obtaining, from a first source, a scene of a media asset, determining that the scene comprises a product, obtaining, from a second source, a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the scene, matching the NFT to an advertiser based on the product, and presenting an option to purchase the matched NFT to the advertiser.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing voice interactions based on user context. Data is received that causes a voice interaction to be generated for output at a user device. In response, current user contextual data of the user device is retrieved. A user availability level for consuming the voice interaction is determined based on the current user contextual data. The voice interaction is altered based on the user availability level. Content of the voice interaction may be altered to be suitable for consumption. The altered voice interaction is outputted at the user device.
