Abstract: Systems and methods for shadow detection and reduction during document capture are disclosed herein. Temporary images of hardcopy documents are analyzed to determine the presence of a shadow or hotspot that obscures information of the hardcopy document. In response to detecting the shadow or hotspot, a controllable light source is used to illuminate the hardcopy document at predicted and/or predetermined intensities to minimize or eliminate the shadow on the hardcopy document. A permanent image of the hardcopy document illuminated by the controllable light source at the intensity that minimizes or eliminates the shadow is then stored. In this way, information of the hardcopy document (such as text, color, layout, spacing etc.) is increased in the permanent image and a need for post-processing the permanent image is reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling the combined voice and gesture control of a computing device. A voice command is received at a computing device from a user, and a gesture being performed by the user concurrently to the voice command being received is identified. A location of the user performing the gesture is identified in an area proximate to the user, and a direction vector extending from the user is identified based on the gesture. A target computing device in the area proximate to the user is identified from a plurality of computing devices based on the location of the user and direction vector, and the command is transmitted to the target computing device.

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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for identifying a playlist of highlights to use for refreshing a user on a plot related to a media asset the user has requested to access based on how long it has been since the user last saw related programming. The media guidance application may receive a request from a user to access a media asset and may determine whether the user previously consumed a related media asset to the media asset. The media guidance application may determine whether a period of time between receiving the request and a time when the user previously consumed the related media asset exceeds a threshold period of time. If the period of time does not exceed the threshold, the media guidance application may play back a predefined playlist of highlights, and if it exceeds the threshold, the media guidance application may play back a customized playlist of highlights.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting a data delivery network are disclosed. The methods comprise requesting multimedia content delivery, the request comprising an indication of available bandwidth, receiving an indication of an expected performance threshold of a multimedia content item associated with the request for multimedia content, determining a fetch time for the multimedia content item to be delivered from a first data delivery network, and, in response to the fetch time being above the expected performance threshold, selecting a second data delivery network to deliver the multimedia content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a primary multicast for media content and a supplemental multicast for dropped segments of the media content are provided. A primary multicast is used to transmit segments of media content to a plurality of devices. One or more of the devices can then act as a source of a supplemental multicast, to provide segments of the media content to other devices in the event those devices fail to properly receive a segment via the primary multicast.

Abstract: A voice query is received via an input to a virtual assistant from a user. The virtual assistant determines a media context from first media content, the media context being colocated and contemporaneous with the voice query. The voice query is processed to generate a textual query and to identify a keyword from the voice query, and a response content provider is selected based on the keyword and the media context. The textual query and the media context are communicated to the response content provider via a network interface. Query response data is received from the response content provider via the network interface, the query response data comprising voice data. The virtual assistant then generates, at an output, a query response based on the query response data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for providing media asset recommendations to a user based on user input in real time and using a reinforcement learning model or media asset recommendation model. The model includes a plurality of states, each having a set of media asset recommendations, a plurality of available user input options, and a state value. During a browsing session, a first set of media asset recommendations is provided to a user based on a current state corresponding to the browsing session. The user then selects a user input option, and a second set of media asset recommendations is determined based on the received user input option. The second set of media asset recommendations is then provided to the user during the browsing session.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically routing notifications based on device statuses are disclosed herein. For instance, a notification may be generated for a user account corresponding to an application that is installed on a plurality of devices. A system identifies a status of each of the plurality of devices and uses the status of each of the plurality of devices to select a particular device to receive the notification. The system then transmits the notification to the selected particular device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for initiating a media content item group watch session with an identified contact. A user profile is identified, and a media content item is generated for output at a first computing device. A contact is identified based on the user profile and the media content item, and an invitation to join a media content item group session is generated based on the media content item and the identified contact. The invitation is transmitted to a second computing device associated with the contact, and an indication that the invitation has been accepted is received. The media content item group session is initiated between the first and second computing devices, and the media content item is received at the first and second computing devices.
