  • Publication number: 20230362424
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing subscriptions. A media guidance application obtaining viewing patterns of a subscriber and determining a first and second media package of interest to the subscriber. A first and second release schedule are obtained related to media content in the first and second media packages. The media guidance application predicts a first viewing impact of the first subscription and a second viewing impact of the second subscription, for the upcoming time period, wherein the viewing impact indicates a total predicted amount of time spent viewing the media packages in the upcoming time period. An available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period is also determined. The media guidance application generates a subscription recommendation for the upcoming time period based on the first viewing impact, second viewing impact, and available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period.

  • Patent number: 11704129
    Abstract: A computerized method includes analyzing program code, including a control flow graph, of one or more applications that are executable by an operating system of a computing device to determine event-logging functions of the program code that generate event logs; extracting, by the processing device based on the event-logging functions, log message strings from the program code that describes event-logging statements; identifying, by the processing device, via control flow analysis, possible control flow paths of the log message strings through the control flow graph; storing, in a database accessible by the processing device, the possible control flow paths; and inputting, by the processing device into a log parser, the possible control flow paths of the log message strings to facilitate interpretation of application events during runtime execution of the one or more applications.

  • Patent number: 11456019
    Abstract: Systems and methods for alerting users to differences between first and second media versions of a story are provided. Given a first version of the media asset, a first sequence of plot segments in the first version that collectively represent a story arc may be identified. A second version of the media asset may be processed to identify a second sequence of plot segments that collectively represent the story arc. The first sequence and second sequence of plot segments may be compared to identify a set of plot segments representing a difference between the sequences. In response to detecting that a user consuming the first version of the media asset has reached a given plot segment that represents a resolution to the story, a summary of the set of plot segments representing the difference between the first and second sequences may be generated for display.
