11659231 · 2023-05-23 · ·

Systems and methods for managing media mosaics are described. One embodiment provides a media mosaic management method in a media device. The method generates a mosaic filter based on a program selected from a first media mosaic. The mosaic filter is used to identify related programs for presentation in a second, customized media mosaic.

Systems and methods for enabling a user to start a scheduled program over by retrieving the same program from a non-linear source

Systems and methods are provided herein for receiving a request from a user to access a video that is scheduled for transmission, simultaneously to a plurality of users, beginning from a scheduled start time. The request is received after the scheduled start time the transmission is performed by a linear service to which the user subscribes. In response to receiving the request, the systems and methods may generate for display the video to the user, and may receive, during display of the video, a command from the user to start playback of the video over from the beginning. In response to receiving the command, the systems and methods may identify a non-linear service to which the user subscribes that offers a non-linear copy of the video, and may play back the non-linear copy of the video from the beginning.

An information push method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. A type identification corresponding to a media work is displayed when a first page of playing the media work is displayed, and the page is switched when a user triggers the type identification on the first page to display the second page corresponding to the type identification to the user. Since information of other media works corresponding to the type identification of the media work can be displayed on the second page, the user's demand for obtaining push information can be effectively met; at the same time, since the user can directly obtain the second page in a manner of direct triggering the type identification, and the obtaining operation process is very concise, then the solution provided by the present disclosure can optimize an user experience while improving information push efficiency.
