Patent number: 11956487Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for activating a personalized user profile on a device based on the detection of an outlying user input. A media guidance application detects a user input that is inconsistent with an active user profile. In response, the media guidance application identifies a candidate user that both shares a location with the device and has a user profile consistent with the user input. The media guidance application activates the user profile of the candidate user as a temporary active user profile on the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Madhusudhan Srinivasan, Gaurav Gandhi, Siddhartha Pande

Publication number: 20240114186Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for optimizing bandwidth for broadcast transmission. The disclosed techniques herein provide for receiving first and second content for transmission to subscriber devices on a first and second channels. The system then determines whether the first and second content contain a common segment. If so, the system updates metadata schema (e.g., homogeneous channel descriptor, homogeneous switch descriptor) to indicate there is a common segment. The system may generate a transport stream during multiplexing of the first and second channels based on the updated metadata schema. The transport stream, for a time duration based on the at least one common segment, includes a first audio feed of the first content and a first video feed of the first content to be provided on the second channel. The system then transmits the transport stream to the one or more subscriber devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Siddhartha Pande, Madhusudhan Srinivasan, Deviprasad Punja

Patent number: 11874888Abstract: The system generates a recommendation of content for use in collaboration, allowing relevant content to be used as base content. The system identifies a content item, and retrieves reviews for the content item from one or more sources or forums. The system filters the reviews to generate a reduced set of reviews based on text of the respective reviews, profile information associated with the reviews, and reference information. A recommendation metric is determined for the content item based on the reduced set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria. The recommendation criteria specify which aspects of the content impact recommendation, and how those aspects impact recommendation. The recommendation metric indicates whether the content item is recommended as base content, to be used for generating collaborative content. The system generates a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric, and outputs the indicator for display, storage, or both.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: ROVI GUIDES, INC.Inventors: Siddhartha Pande, Deviprasad Punja, Madhusudhan Srinivasan

Publication number: 20230298496Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring light emissions in electronic devices. The disclosed techniques herein provide for determining a display duration of display devices for a user. Light emission profiles for each of the display devices are determined. A cumulative emissions exposure is determined that is based on the light emission profiles for the display devices and the display duration of the display devices for the user. A determination is made whether the cumulative emissions exposure exceeds a light emission exposure limit set for the user. In a positive determination, an instruction is transmitted to the display devices for execution of a remedial action based on predefined rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Siddhartha Pande, Madhusudhan Srinivasan

Publication number: 20230247173Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing interference between content play and video recording among multiple devices located proximate to each other. Microphones of devices recording video are muted, or content play is interrupted, according to the actions of a majority of nearby devices. For example, if most devices are recording video, content play may be interrupted to prevent the video from unintentionally recording unwanted sounds from play of the content. Conversely, if most devices are not recording video, only those devices which are may have their microphones muted. Actions to reduce interference may be taken according to the current behavior of a majority of proximate devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Gaurav Gandhi, Kuppappa Dandappa Harijan, Siddhartha Pande, Deviprasad Punja, Madhusudhan Srinivasan

Publication number: 20220318329Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing collaborative comments on content to create and/or modify content are disclosed herein. Each of the plurality of comments include modifying the content. Each of the plurality of comments are is analyzed to identify an action associated with each of the plurality of comments, location of the action in the content, and an owner associated with the action. Furthermore, a marker associated with the action at the identified location in the content is added.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Siddhartha Pande, Deviprasad Punja, Madhusudhan Srinivasan
