Abstract: Systems and methods are described for aggressive advertisement of media content. The system, using a prominent attribute of a first media asset, selects, from a plurality of candidate media assets for partial exposure to the user, a second media asset that features the prominent attribute. In response to determining the end to the first scene, the system determines a second attribute of the first scene and plays back a first segment of the second media asset featuring the prominent attribute and the second attribute, and resumes playback of the first media asset. During the resumed playback of the first media asset, the system detects a third attribute of a second scene. In response to determining an end of the second scene, the system plays back a second segment of the second media asset featuring the prominent attribute and the third attribute before resuming playback of the first media asset.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein increasing a likelihood above a target threshold of a user watching a target media asset. The method includes selecting a target media asset, identifying a media attribute present in the target media asset that does not match a user profile, computing a percentage of the media attribute present in the target media asset relative to other media attributes present in the target media asset, searching for a first media asset that comprises a first amount of the media attribute less than the percentage by a first threshold. Upon determining that the user consumes the first media asset, repeating the process with a second media asset that comprises a second amount of the media attribute greater than the first threshold and less than the percentage by a second threshold. After the user consumes the second media asset, recommending the target media asset to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application on a first device that detects a user's engagement with a second media asset on second device, and alerts the user to an important event in a first media asset presented on the first device, thereby reminding the user to view the first media asset. The media guidance application may determine when the next important event will occur in the media asset and determine an estimated amount of time required to play back the second media asset. The media guidance application may adjust the estimated amount of time based on advertisements and network conditions at the second device. If the media guidance application determines that the estimated amount of time is longer than the amount of time before the next important event in the first media asset, the media guidance application may generate an alert on the second device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically recording media assets not explicitly scheduled for recording by a user when the user leaves his or her home. For example, when the user leaves home, a media guidance application, being executed on a user equipment device (such as a set-top box), schedules to record media assets that the user has expressed interest in, but has not explicitly scheduled for recording. If the user returns home before a recording has begun, the media guidance application does not record the media assets the user has not explicitly scheduled for recording.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for recommending a pause position. Media content is provided to the user device. In response to receiving a pause command, a measure of memorability of a current scene of the media content is determined. In response to receiving a pause command, a measure of memorability of a subsequent scene of the media content is determined. in response to determining that the subsequent scene is more memorable than the current scene, a recommendation is provided to a user to pause the media content after the subsequent scene. In response to determining that the subsequent scene is not more memorable than the current scene, providing of the media content is paused at the current scene.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for indicating an amount of available storage space. To this end, the systems and methods monitor storage space associated with a media storage device to determine whether an amount of storage space available is less than a threshold. In response to determining the amount of storage space available is less than the threshold, the systems and methods enter a deletion mode. Systems and methods monitor user interactions between a user and a user device after entering the deletion mode. Systems and methods further generate for display a notification at an appropriate time, based on the monitored user interactions, to indicate the amount of storage space available to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing supplemental Augmented Reality (AR) content. Media content is provided to a user device located within a viewing area. A determination is made that a supplemental three dimensional (3D) AR content related to the media content is available. 3D characteristics of the supplemental AR content are determined. Such characteristics include a viewing angle and body position of an actor from the supplemental AR content. 3D characteristics of the viewing area are determined. Such characteristics include shape and position of the furniture within the viewing area and a position of a user within the viewing area. A position is determined within the viewing area by comparing the 3D characteristics of the supplemental AR content and the 3D characteristics of the viewing area. The supplemental AR content is then provided for display at the determined position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for updating, using a specific process that reduces the resource requirements and ensures recommendation relevancy, a particular database that is used for recommending actors. A media guidance application may infrequently search a set of irrelevant actors for an actor who can be classified as a promising actor. The media guidance application may add any promising actor to a set of promising actors. The media guidance application may more frequently search the set of promising actors for an actor who can be classified as a relevant actor. Upon identifying a relevant actor, the media guidance application may include the relevant actor in a set of relevant actors. The media guidance application may then recommend actors to a user based on actors included in the set of relevant actors.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a media guidance application that may enhance viewer experience. The media guidance application may tune to a first program with a first tuner and generate for display the first program on a display area of a display device, determine other programs of interest being broadcast, and simultaneously with the generating for display of the first program, use the second tuner to tune to and generate for display the other programs of interest being broadcast. The second tuner cycles between the additional programs of interest to periodically update the segments of the additional programs of interest generated for display.
