Publication number: 20240089516Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in conventional systems by correcting an erroneous term in on-screen caption text for a media asset. In some aspects, the systems and methods identify the erroneous term in a text segment of the on-screen caption text, and identify one or more video frames of the media asset corresponding to the text segment. The systems and methods further identify a contextual term related to the erroneous term from the one or more video frames. By accessing a knowledge graph, the systems and methods identify a candidate correction based on the contextual term and a portion of the text segment. Lastly, the systems and methods replaces the erroneous term with the candidate correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ajay Kumar Gupta, Abhijit Satchidanand Savarkar

Patent number: 11910058Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in conventional media systems via a novel technique to prevent corruption of a user's viewing profile. In some aspects, a user of an interactive media guidance application may select a media asset for viewing on a user device. The interactive media guidance application may receive a user viewing profile for the user from a remote server. If the media asset is determined to not be consistent with the user viewing profile, the interactive media guidance application may retrieve another user viewing profile for another user of the user device. If the media asset is determined to be consistent with the other user viewing profile, the interactive media guidance application may update the other user viewing profile based on the media asset.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Sashikumar Venkataraman, Abhijit Satchidanand Savarkar, Linda Beach

Patent number: 10650065Abstract: Methods and systems that improve the ability of a media guidance application to aggregate information from one or more sources and one or more mediums. For example, the media guidance application may automatically collect information based on attributes associated with information of a particular type. Specifically, the media guidance application may determine based on comparison with verified training data that one source or medium typically associates information of a particular type, for example, “Actor,” with one or more path attributes, for example, a location in a directory structure. The media guidance application may then search the source or medium for the one or more path attributes. Upon detecting the one or more path attributes, the media guidance application may designate any sub-set of information associated with the one or more path attributes as a particular type of information.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Abhijit Satchidanand Savarkar, Sai Rahul Reddy Pulikunta, Sankar Ardhanari, Ganesh Ramamoorthy
