Publication number: 20250267335Abstract: Systems and methods address shortcomings in conventional systems by resuming a media asset from a logical point. In some aspects, the systems and methods receive a first input at a first time from a user to pause a media asset at a first position and a second input at a second time from the user to resume the media asset. The systems and methods further determine whether a time period between the first and the second time exceeds a threshold time period. In response to determining that the time period does not exceed the threshold time period, the systems and methods generate the media asset for display beginning at the first position. However, in response to determining that the time period exceeds the threshold, the systems and methods generate the media asset for display beginning at a second position preceding the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2025Publication date: August 21, 2025Inventor: Samuel Filmeyer

Patent number: 10893319Abstract: Systems and methods address shortcomings in conventional systems by resuming a media asset from a logical point. In some aspects, the systems and methods receive a first input from a user to pause a media asset at a first position and determine that the first position in the media asset corresponds to a middle of a sentence. The systems and methods further determine a second position in the media asset corresponding to a start of the sentence. Thereafter, the systems and methods receive a second input from the user to resume the media asset, and resume the media asset from the second position corresponding to the start of the sentence.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: ROVI GUIDES, INC.Inventor: Samuel Filmeyer
