Apparatus, systems and methods for provision of contextual content

An exemplary embodiment provides clarifying supplemental information to a user who has become confused about a currently presenting media content event.

Content filtering based on user state

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for filtering content based on user state is disclosed. Exemplary embodiments include associating a user with one or more cohorts and extracting one or more features from a content retrieved by the user. Moreover, exemplary embodiments may further include determining whether at least one of the one or more features conflict with at least one of the one or more cohorts.

Dynamic video background responsive to environmental cues

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating a video scene adapted to establish an ambiance setting and providing the video scene to equipment of a user for presentation at a display device. A visual focus is detected of the user towards presentation of the video scene displayed proximate to the user and the video scene is modified responsive to the visual focus. The modifying of the video scene is adapted to discourage visual focus of the user towards the presentation of the video scene. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and device for latency reduction of an image processing pipeline

In some implementations, a method of reducing latency associated with an image read-out operation is performed at a device including one or more processors, non-transitory memory, an image processing architecture, and an image capture device. The method includes: obtaining first image data corresponding to a physical environment; reading a first slice of the first image data into an input buffer; performing processing operations on the first slice of the first image data to obtain a first portion of second image data; reading a second slice of the first image data into the input buffer; performing the image processing operations on the second slice of the first image data to obtain a second portion of the second image data; and generating an image frame of the physical environment based at least in part on the first and second portions of the second image data.

Methods and systems for supplementing media assets during fast-access playback operations
11516546 · 2022-11-29 · ·

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that enhances the viewer experience by providing supplemental content related to a media asset during a fast-access playback operation. For example, in response to a user input during a fast-forward or rewind operation, the media guidance application may generate for display supplemental content related to the progression point of the media asset at which the user input was received while the fast-forward or rewind operation continues.

Systems and methods for detecting a reaction by a user to a media asset to which the user previously reacted at an earlier time, and recommending a second media asset to the user consumed during a range of times adjacent to the earlier time
11509964 · 2022-11-22 · ·

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting a first reaction by a user when consuming a media asset at a first time, where a first magnitude of the first reaction exceeds a first threshold. The systems and methods may determine whether a second reaction by the user occurred when the user consumed the media asset at a second time that is prior to the first time, where a second magnitude of the second reaction exceeds a second threshold, and may recommend the second media asset to the user.

Automated generation of control signals for sexual stimulation devices
11590052 · 2023-02-28 ·

A system and method for automated generation of control signals for sexual stimulation devices from usage history and other data. The system and method involve analyzing historical usage and other data for a user for a device or devices, processing the data through machine learning algorithms, and generating new or recombined patterns of stimulation based on the outputs from the machine learning algorithms. The resulting automated control signals represent partially or fully customized stimulation for a given user which evolve over time as the user continues to use the device or devices.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO DYNAMICALLY ADJUST A PLAYLIST BASED ON CUMULATIVE MOOD SCORE

Systems and methods are described herein for recommending content based on a mood score associated with a user profile. The system accesses the viewing history of the user profile to determine media assets consumed and the mood score associated with each of the consumed media assets of the plurality of media assets. A cumulative mood score is calculated based at least in part to determine if the total score is below a mood threshold. Based on the cumulative mood score being lower than the mood threshold, the system generates for presentation, on the consumer device, one or more media assets with a positive mood score.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ITS EXECUTION METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
20220368982 · 2022-11-17 ·

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and its execution method and a computer-readable medium. An electronic device, comprising: a memory, in which instructions are stored; and a processor, configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to cause the electronic device to execute the following operations: receiving a request for entering a sleep mode; obtaining expected time to fall asleep; obtaining current volume value and/or current brightness value of a playback device; selecting a decay type; and determining a required amount of change per unit time of the brightness value and/or volume value of the playback device according to the decay type, expected time to fall asleep, and the current volume value and/or current brightness value.
