Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for recommending content restrictions to a user based on chatter in a social network of the user. The system analyzes chatter in the social network to identify a correlation between what is posted by users and the content that the users are posting about. The system stores a mapping between chatter and expected attributes of the content referenced by the chatter. The system will determine whether to block the content when an expected attribute is associated with a content restriction.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming a sequence of media. In particular, the media guidance application may enhance the viewing experiences of users consuming a sequence of media by removing portions of redundant media that were previously consumed by the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing media guidance. Control circuitry may receive a first voice input and access a database of topics to identify a first topic associated with the first voice input. A user interface may generate a first response to the first voice input, and subsequent to generating the first response, the control circuitry may receive a second voice input. The control circuitry may determine a match between the second voice input and an interruption input such as a period of silence or a keyword or a phrase, such as “Ahh,”, “Umm,”, or “Hmm.” The user interface may generate a second response that is associated with a second topic related to the first topic. By interrupting the conversation and changing the subject from time to time, media guidance systems can appear to be more intelligent and human.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing, to a group of users, a virtual assistant with customized avatar sentimental and behavioral characteristics to accommodate different sentiments among the group of users. When the media guidance application is configured to serve a group of users, who may exhibit different moods or sentiments, the media guidance application may configure the virtual assistant to accommodate the different sentiments of the group of users. For example, the media guidance application may determine sentimental and behavioral characteristics to configure the virtual assistant based on a context of the split sentiments of the group of users, a particular sentiment that has a higher priority, and/or the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for determining an advertisement based on the relative motion of an audience to the advertisement. The system determines the relative motion of the audience to the advertisement and the audience demographics to determine advertisement content and format. The system causes to be displayed the advertisement having both the determined content and format. For example, the systems and methods present a static advertisement image to an audience with a large relative motion to the advertisement, allowing the advertiser to present information to moving audiences who will not be potentially distracted by a video advertisement.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for enhancing the viewing experiences of users consuming a content item. The system identifies identifying portions for playback and allows a user to select a playback rate to display the selected portions at. This creates a highlight reel for the user to watch at their selected playback rate.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating for display a notification to a plurality of users at a position within a display screen to which each user of the plurality of users is paying attention. Specifically, the media guidance application captures lines of sight of users who are paying attention to a display screen, based on which the media guidance application determines line-of-sight regions on the display screen that the users are paying attention to. The media guidance application then determines a display area that is noticeable to the users based on the respective line-of-sight regions on the display screen to display an electronic message.
