    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein optimize the retrieval of missed content by playing back cached content to enable tuners with limited capacity to retrieve the missed content. A content presentation system may receive, with a tuner, a transmission of content comprising media content and advertisements. The content presentation system may cache the advertisements. The content presentation system may determine whether an interruption during the transmission resulted in a missed portion of content and, in response, determine whether an advertisement upcoming at a time period in the transmission of content is cached. If the upcoming advertisement is cached, the content presentation system may play back the cached advertisement at the time period and release the tuner previously receiving the transmission of content to retrieve the missed portion of the content during the time period.

    Abstract: The system receives a message having a sender and a recipient. The system identifies entities associated with the message and associated with any content that is associated with the message. The system determines whether to, and how to, modify the message based on relationship information among the sender, the recipient, and any entities identified in the message or components of the message. A relationship between a sender and recipient may be determined using, for example, a database of relationship information. The system modifies, for example, text, images, or video of the message to generate the personalized message. The personalized message include the original message along with context information to help indicate the relevance of the message to the recipient. The context information can include text, images, video, or other information. To illustrate, the context information can include keywords or identifiers that indicate entities associated with the message.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated contact generation based on content communications are disclosed herein. A rule is retrieved from a rules database, the rule defining criteria for identifying contact-related data within a content item electronically communicated from a source account to a destination account. Based on the rule, the contact-related data within the content item is identified. In response to identifying the contact-related data within the content item, the contact-related data is automatically extracted from the content item, a contact entry corresponding to the source account is automatically generated based on the extracted contact-related data, and the contact entry is automatically stored for the destination account in a contact database.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for identifying and marking content items that have or have not been shared to social media or content hosting services. The methods and systems use a marking engine to access a content item in a content library and identify the content hosts or social media sites to which the content item was previously transmitted. A marking engine may create a user interface, generate a thumbnail of each content item, and generate a graphical indicator for each identified content host. A marking engine may generate for display thumbnail representations of each content item with graphical indicators of each of the identified content hosts. A marking engine may sort thumbnails by metadata associated with the corresponding content items, such as creation time and date, location, share status, and other classifications and filters, to indicate which content items are ready to be shared to a content host.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining portions of media assets for cooperative reception by multiple devices. The disclosed techniques herein include identifying cooperating devices that are able to communicate with a selected device for relaying portions of a media asset. For example, a group of people each travelling together in a vehicle may wish to view a media asset by cooperatively using their network resources of their smartphones to relay portions of the media asset for viewing. Network service data for each of the plurality of cooperating devices is then received. Based on the network service data, a determination is made for each cooperating device regarding reception of a respective portion of the media asset to each cooperating device. Instructions to receive and relay the respective portions of the media asset are transmitted to each cooperating device.
