    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems, implemented by a device such as a client device, for seamlessly inserting a supplemental content item into a content item to negate the user's need for rewinding to a point prior to the interruption of the content item by the supplemental content item. The client device accesses the supplemental content insertion logic to identify a default supplemental content insertion point between two consecutive segments of the content item. The client device analyzes the two consecutive segments of the content item to identify a natural supplemental content insertion point within one of the two consecutive segments. The client device then decodes a first set of frames of the content item up to the natural supplemental content insertion point, a second set of frames of the supplemental content item and a third set of frames of the content item from the natural supplemental content insertion point. The client device places these three sets of frames in a buffer and plays the frames from the buffer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling a user to download a blocked asset. These systems and methods allow a user to request that a parent, or another user, can approve download of the blocked asset. The request may be transmitted as a notification to a mobile phone or another suitable device, such that the parent, or the other user, can approve the request, even though they may be remote from the requesting user. Both the requesting user and the user whose approval is required to unblock the media asset (i.e., the approver), are identified by the system based on an identifier associated with each user. This informs the approver which user submitted the request. Additionally, this also adds a layer of security, since the approver must enter an identifier to authenticate their identity to the system before being able to unblock the asset for the requesting user.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for recommending media content to users with disabilities. In response to determining that a user has a disability, a type of the disability is determined. A media content item to recommend to the user is determined, among a plurality of media content items, based on the determined type of disability and a favorability factor of the media content item for the determined type of disability. The favorability factor of the media content item corresponds to an ability of a user with the determined type of disability to comprehend the media content item. An identifier of the determined media content item is generated for presentation.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to a natural language query are disclosed herein. A query for an entity associated with a plurality of content types is received via a user interface of a computing device. A determination is made as to whether the query specifies any one or more of the plurality of content types. In response to determining that the query specifies one or more of the plurality of content types, a response to the query is generated for visible or audible presentation via the computing device, with the response comprising results from the one or more specified content types. In response to determining that the query lacks specification of any one or more of the plurality of content types, a response to the query is generated for visible or audible presentation via the computing device, with the response comprising results from each of the plurality of content types.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying altered content are described herein. The system determines a content type for an unverified content item and determines verification criteria based on the content type. The system then locates a first verified content item corresponding to the unverified content item. Based on comparing the unverified content item to the first verified content item, the system determines whether the unverified content item violates the verification criteria. If the unverified content item violates the verification criteria, the system displays a verification flag indicating that the unverified content item violates the verification criteria. If the unverified content item does not violate the verification criteria, the system displays a verification flag indicating that the unverified content item does not violate the verification criteria.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improved techniques for consuming and interacting with media content. Specifically, the media guidance application may generate holographic animations that move from a holographic structure from which a user has selected a media asset and direct the user to a display device capable of presenting the media asset. For example, in response to a user selecting a baseball movie from a holographic bookcase, the media guidance application may generate for display a holographic baseball that is “thrown” from the bookcase to a television that will present the baseball movie.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for controlling media content based on user presence information. A user interaction with playing of a first media asset generated for presentation at a consumption device may be identified, and in response, historical wireless signal characteristics of a wireless network, over which wireless signals are used to generate for display the first media asset, may be determined. While a second media asset is generated for display, the second media asset at the consumption device may be modified based on user presence information determined by comparing current wireless signal characteristics of the wireless network to the historical wireless signal characteristics of the wireless network.
