Systems and methods are disclosed for providing non-intrusive advertising content to users. The method includes receiving user input reflecting user content preferences for receiving desired content related to specific topics in lieu of standard advertising slots while watching playable media content via a set-top box. The method may further include receiving a request for playable media content and then retrieving desired content based on user content preferences. Thereafter, the method may include choosing non-intrusive advertising content and generating datagrams that include the desired content and the non-intrusive advertising content. The datagrams may be concatenated with the playable media content to generate displayable content. The display content may then be provided for displaying.

Systems and methods for enabling quick access to media options are provided. A display of a plurality of icons is generated, wherein each of the plurality of icons represents a different one of a plurality of applications. A user input is detected that identifies a first of the plurality of icons associated with a first of the plurality of applications. In response to determining that the user input corresponds to a quick access operation, first and second media asset identifiers and corresponding media options are retrieved from each of second and third applications. A menu that includes the retrieved first and second media asset identifiers is generated for display with the plurality of icons.

Methods and apparatuses are provided, which may be implemented to combine and distribute user enhanced video and/or audio content.

Systems and methods are operable to notify a user of content availability. An exemplary embodiment receives a content availability notification request that specifies at least one content of interest, searches current electronic program guide (EPG) information to identify the content of interest, determines that the information identifying the specified content of interest is unavailable based upon the search of the current EPG information, generates a content availability reminder that is associated with the specified content of interest, monitors a content database to determine an availability of the specified content of interest identified in the content availability reminder, determines that the specified content of interest is available when the monitored content database indicates availability of the specified content of interest, and generates a content availability reminder notification that indicates at least a title of the specified content of interest.

Some embodiments include a ferroelectric transistor having an active region which includes a first source/drain region, a second source/drain region vertically offset from the first source/drain region, and a channel region between the first and second source/drain regions. A first conductive gate is operatively adjacent to the channel region of the active region. Insulative material is between the first conductive gate and the channel region. A second conductive gate is adjacent to the first conductive gate. Ferroelectric material is between the first and second conductive gates. Some embodiments include integrated memory. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

A video playback method is provided, including: displaying a video playback interface, and playing a current video on the video playback interface; and in accordance with a determination that the current video is a video clip corresponding to a portion of a the target video and a video playback switching condition is satisfied: playing the target video on the video playback interface starting from a playback start time of the target video.

A display system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a content DB server, and a display apparatus comprising: a control unit that acquires information associated with content which has been received from the content DB server, and a display for displaying the acquired information associated with the content, wherein the control unit may display, on the display, the information associated with the content, according to a request regardless of whether or not the content is broadcast.

An electronic device and a control method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes controller, multimedia playing apparatus and input apparatus both connected to the controller, the controller includes processor and memory, wherein program instructions stored in the memory are executed by the processor to perform operations including: in response to target operation of user, obtaining input information of user; determining session information on session in which user participates according to the input information, the session information including at least target content in which user participates; determining target playing progress and target playing speed factor for the target content; controlling the multimedia playing apparatus to play the target content according to the target playing progress and the target playing speed factor, the target playing speed factor being greater than 1.

Systems and methods for generating a content item based on a difference between a user confidence score and a confidence score are disclosed. For example, a system generates for output a first content item. While the first content item is being outputted, the system receives user data via sensors of a device. The system determines a user confidence score based on the user data and metadata of the first content item. The user confidence score indicates a user's perceived probability of an event occurring in the future. The system calculates a prediction score which estimates the likelihood of the event occurring in the future. In response to determining that the difference between the user confidence score and the prediction score exceeds a threshold, the system selects a second content item related to the event and generates for output a recommendation comprising an identifier of the second content item.
