Abstract: The systems and methods described herein optimize the retrieval of missed content by playing back cached content to enable tuners with limited capacity to retrieve the missed content. A content presentation system may receive, with a tuner, a transmission of content comprising media content and advertisements. The content presentation system may cache the advertisements. The content presentation system may determine whether an interruption during the transmission resulted in a missed portion of content and, in response, determine whether an advertisement upcoming at a time period in the transmission of content is cached. If the upcoming advertisement is cached, the content presentation system may play back the cached advertisement at the time period and release the tuner previously receiving the transmission of content to retrieve the missed portion of the content during the time period.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for identifying and marking content items that have or have not been shared to social media or content hosting services. The methods and systems use a marking engine to access a content item in a content library and identify the content hosts or social media sites to which the content item was previously transmitted. A marking engine may create a user interface, generate a thumbnail of each content item, and generate a graphical indicator for each identified content host. A marking engine may generate for display thumbnail representations of each content item with graphical indicators of each of the identified content hosts. A marking engine may sort thumbnails by metadata associated with the corresponding content items, such as creation time and date, location, share status, and other classifications and filters, to indicate which content items are ready to be shared to a content host.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically organizing application shortcuts into folders with user-defined In names. An illustrative method includes identifying a plurality of keywords associated with folders with user-defined names on a device, identifying a keyword associated with an application being installed on the device, determining whether the key word associated with the application matches a keyword in the plurality of keywords, and in response to determining that the keyword associated with the application matches a keyword in the plurality of keywords, adding a shortcut for the application to a folder with a user-defined name corresponding to the matching keyword.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for replacing a background portion of an image. An illustrative method includes receiving a first image, identifying a background portion of the first image and a subject portion of the first image, identifying a geographic location corresponding to the background portion of the first image, retrieving a plurality of other images depicting the geographic location, selecting a second image from the plurality of other images, wherein the second image is associated with metadata indicating that the second image was captured during a predetermined time period, and generating for display a third image comprising the subject portion of the first image placed over the second image.
