Publication number: 20240064382Abstract: Method and systems are disclosed for presenting media asset identifiers retrieved based on a user search criteria. User's input of a first information, a second information, and a third information is received. The system identifies an information type associated with each received information. If the first information and the third information are associated with the same information type, a first query is created that combines the first information and the third information to retrieve media asset identifiers according to information type instructions associated with the first information type. The second information is integrated into the first query. If the second information and the third information are associated with the same information type, a second query is created that combines that second information and the third information to retrieve media asset identifiers according to instructions associated with the second information type. The first information is integrated into the second query.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Ofer Vaisler, Olivier Chalouhi, Rob Marquardt

Patent number: 11871056Abstract: Methods and systems are described for downloading media assets efficiently and quickly before loss of network connectivity. The method may allow a user to download portions of a media asset in different versions to download a maximum portion of the media asset before loss of network connectivity. Certain versions of media assets may be downloaded more quickly than other versions of media assets. The method may also allow a user to view partially downloaded media assets without network connectivity. The method may also replace portions of media assets downloaded in a first version with portions of the media assets in a second version once network connectivity is restored.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Peter Blohowiak, Ryan Werth, Olivier Chalouhi, Ofer Vaisler, Milan Patel

Patent number: 11842040Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for personalizing images that correspond to a media asset identifier by using user profile information. As an example, the television series “Community” has several actors, such as Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Ken Jeong. Poster art developed by an editor o50533238_1f “Community” may include an image that portrays each of Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Ken Jeong. In order to personalize the image, control circuitry may determine which actor(s) the user prefers, and crop out only those actors in the poster art to create a personalized image. As an example, if the user prefers Joel McHale, control circuitry may crop out the portrayal of Joel McHale and use only that portion of the image to display next to other text describing “Community.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Peter Blohowiak, Walter R.
