Patent number: 11714973Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for replaying content dialogue in an alternate language in response to a user command. While the content is playing on a media device, a first language in which the content dialogue is spoken is identified. Upon receiving a voice command to repeat a portion of the dialogue, the language in which the command was spoken is identified. The portion of the content dialogue to repeat is identified and translated from the first language to the second language. The translated portion of the content dialogue is then output. In this way, the user can simply ask in their native language for the dialogue to be repeated and the repeated portion of the dialogue is presented in the user's native language.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Carla Mack, Phillip Teich, Mario Sanchez, John Blake

Publication number: 20230185851Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for resolving a meaning of an ambiguous calendar entry and recommending broadcast media based on the meaning. To this end, a media guidance application may detect a calendar entry specific to a user, and determine that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to an associated period of time. In response to determining that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to the associated period of time, the media guidance application may determine characteristics of the calendar entry and the user, and compute an estimated range of time corresponding to the calendar entry based on the characteristic of the calendar entry and the characteristic of the user. The media guidance application may then generate for display a recommendation of broadcast media based on the estimated range of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Ashleigh Miller, Mario Sanchez, Phillip Teich, Carla Mack

Patent number: 10182271Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for playing a summary of a scene related to a current scene from a media asset being played in a display. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application receiving a command to play a summary of a scene related to the current playback. The media guidance application then determines a scene or scenes related to the current scene and compiles a summary of the related scenes. The media guidance application may also compile summarized content of the current scene to catch a viewer watching summary up to the current scene when the summary is complete. The media guidance application generates for display, on a second display, the summary content.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Mario Sanchez, Prabhat Gupta, Manik Malhotra, Phillip Teich, Carla Mack

Patent number: 10063911Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for automatically recording and generating for display a catch-up video in a PIP window. If a user viewing a media program on a user equipment is detected to be distracted, the user equipment automatically begins recording the program. When the user is detected to no longer be distracted, the user equipment begins to display the recorded catch-up video in a PIP window. The playback rate of the catch-up video may be faster than the rate of the live video to allow the user to catch up quickly. The playback rate and size of the PIP window may be varied depending on the duration, remaining duration, and content of the catch-up video.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Takeaki Obara, Mario Sanchez, Phillip Teich, Carla Mack
