Publication number: 20240064390Abstract: Methods and systems for generating segmented media asset identifiers are described herein. The method includes retrieving a first media guidance data segment of a plurality of media guidance data segments. Each segment of the plurality of media guidance data segments includes a plurality of media asset identifiers and is navigationally linked to at least one other media guidance data segment. The method further involves generating for display the media asset identifiers of the first media guidance data segment. While generating for display the media asset identifiers of the first media guidance data segment, a first user input corresponding to navigating to the media asset identifiers of a linked media guidance data segment is received. In response to receiving the first user input, the linked media guidance data segment is retrieved, and the media asset identifiers of the linked media guidance data segment are generated for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Michael McCarty, Mikhail Aksenfeld, Vazrik Israelian, Glen E. Roe, Corey Tulis, David Wittke

Publication number: 20240015356Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for reducing network traffic when retrieving media guidance data. For example, a media guidance application receives a first user selection to display a group of media asset identifiers (e.g., video-on-demand listings) and retrieves detailed information from a remote server relating to the media asset identifiers to display to a user. The media guidance application then may receive a user selection to display a second group of media asset identifiers (e.g., purchased media assets). If any of the media asset identifiers are common to both groups, then the media guidance application already obtained the detailed information and the detailed information does not need to be retransmitted in order to be displayed. Thus, the media guidance application only retrieves detailed information for media asset identifiers unique to the second group of media asset identifiers (e.g., they are only on the purchased media asset list).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Corey Tulis, David Wittke, Mikhail Aksenfeld, Michael McCarty

Publication number: 20230121693Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing a search result based on an ambiguous voice query. The system comprises receiving an ambiguous voice query relating to an object from a user, retrieving a viewing history of the user for about a list of media assets viewed by the user, determining, from the list of media asset, a media asset that is likely to contain the object based at least in part on metadata of the media asset and the ambiguous voice query, searching content of the determined media asset to identify a segment within the media asset that contains the object, and generating a display of information about the object identified from the segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Stuart Bryant, Aaron James Biggs, Penelope Jane Warburg, Sallianne E.

Patent number: 11245945Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for substituting an updated segment of media guidance data that no longer includes a selected media asset identifier with another segment of media guidance data that includes the selected media asset identifier. A media guidance application may determine, following an update to a segment of media guidance data, that a selected media asset identifier, associated with a given media asset classifier, is no longer included in the updated segment of media guidance data. The media guidance application may retrieve another segment of media guidance data that is associated with the given media asset classifier and that includes the selected media asset identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Michael McCarty, Mikhail Aksenfeld, Corey Tulis, David Wittke
