Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications without breaking media immersion. A notification delivery application receives notification data while a media device provides a media asset. In response to receiving the notification data while the media device provides the media asset, the notification delivery application generates a voice model based on a voice detected in the media asset. The notification delivery application converts the notification data to synthesized speech using the voice model and generates, by the media device, the synthesized speech for output at an appropriate point in the media asset based on contextual features of the media asset.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing digital assistant interaction. A query is received from a user, and a reply to the query is generated for output. An interruption for the user is detected, and subsequently an end of the interruption is detected. In response to detecting the end of the interruption, a predicted query related to the initial query is identified, and a prompt to provide a reply to the predicted query may be generated for output.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing media asset recommendations are described. An input to a user interface requesting content associated with a media asset is detected without corresponding display of the media asset on a display device associated with the user interface. In response, a user interaction history comprising interaction data associated with the media asset is retrieved. The interaction data is analyzed to identify an indecision pattern. In response to detecting the indecision pattern, a plurality of people are identified based on a match between the media asset and media profile information of the people. An electronic query is transmitted to each of the people requesting a recommendation for the media asset. The received responses are generated for display for the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving audio playback at a playback device are described herein. In some embodiments, a system transitions between causing playback of a radio broadcast stream to causing playback of device music, such as in response to determining that a quality of the radio broadcast stream is below a threshold value. In some embodiments, a system selects songs to play based on device preferences of a plurality of different media devices. In some embodiments, a system selects a device from which to retrieve songs for playback based on one or more rules.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing subjective queries are described. A query is received from a user. The method involves determining whether the query is subjective. In response to determining that the query is subjective, a plurality of people qualified to answer the query are identified. Moreover, a subset of the plurality of people who are available to answer the query are identified, and the query is transmitted to the subset of people available to answer the query. The received responses to the transmitted query from each of the people in the subset are then generated for display.
