Patent number: 11936946Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein to dynamically update content restrictions for multiple users by detecting a first user in the proximity of a media device playing a first content item and detecting a second user entering the proximity of the media device. In response to detecting a second user entering the proximity of the media device and receiving a command from the first user that controls playing the first content, the system modifies a stored relationship between the first user and the second user to track the relationship between the first user and the second user. Thereafter, when the system detects the first user and the second user in the proximity of a media device playing a second content, in response, the system automatically performs an action that controls the playing of the second content (e.g., without user having to issue those commands).Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Dhiman, Vaibhav Gupta, Ashish Gupta, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy, Anil Kumar

Publication number: 20230328320Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating a playlist for a simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets. The system retrieves a user preference associated with a user profile and receives a selection of a first media asset and a second media asset from the plurality of media assets for presentation on a user device. The system parses the respective audio streams of the first media asset and the second media asset to identify one or more preferred audio segments based on the user preference and generates the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments. Based on a generated audio playlist, the system generates, for presentation on the user device, the video stream for each of the first media asset and the second media asset and the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Santhiya Krishnamoorthi, Ramesh Arsam, Padmassri Chandrashekar, Daina Emmanuel, Jayshil Parekh, Harshavardhan Reddy Kalathuru, Vaibhav Gupta, Ashish Gupta, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy, Anil Kumar, Reda Harb

Publication number: 20230224546Abstract: Systems and methods are described for recommending a content item. A search query for a content item is received. The availability of the content item from more than one source is determined. In response to determining that the content item is available from more than one source, the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources is determined. A recommendation factor is determined. The recommendation factor is based on at least one of the bandwidth available to a user device, the resolution capability of the user device, and the quality of experience of each of the sources from which the content item is available. A list of search results for the available content items is generated. The list is ordered based on the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources and the recommendation factor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Ashish Gupta, Vaibhav Gupta, Rohit Dhiman, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy

Publication number: 20230186941Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing a voice input stream with interruptions and/or supplemental comments. Generally, a virtual voice assistant may receive an input stream with a first input comprising a voice query from a first voice and a second input comprising a secondary query from a second voice (e.g., an interruption or a supplement). The virtual assistant may determine that the second voice does not match the first voice, and then process the voice query to produce first results. Some embodiments may determine whether the secondary query is a supplement or an interruption and, e.g., choose to ignore an interruption or set aside a supplement if it may be used to help the search query. In some embodiments, results for the first query may be compared with results for the first query with a portion of the supplement.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Ajay Juneja, Vaibhav Gupta, Ashish Gupta, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy, Reda Harb

Publication number: 20230126176Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines content display preferences of nearby detected devices, and transmits content tracks to those devices according to their individual preferences. For example, language preferences are determined from nearby devices, and content is played with corresponding language tracks sent to each device. In this manner, different tracks of content may be sent to different devices according to each device's preferences, so that individualized or personalized versions of content may be played for each different device. Thus, for instance, content may be played with different language tracks, where each track is selected to conform to the preferences of each different device. Accordingly, content may be played with different users or viewers experiencing the content in their preferred language. Embodiments of the disclosure also contemplate any other settings and preferences besides language.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Ashish Gupta, Vaibhav Gupta, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy, Anil Kumar

Patent number: 11617017Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for relocating an overlay overlapping information in content. The systems and methods may comprise receiving a content item, the content item comprising a video image, and determining a first screen position of an information box (e.g., a score box) in the video image. Determining may be performed with image analysis and/or a machine learning model. The system receives an overlay image (e.g., a channel logo) with a second screen position and determines if the second screen position (e.g., for the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., for the score). In response to determining the second screen position (e.g., of the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., the score), the system modifies the second screen position (e.g., for the logo). Then the system generates for display the overlay image on the video in the modified screen position. The system may not relocate the overlay if the overlay is a high priority.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Vaibhav Gupta, Praveen Maurya, Ashish Gupta, Senthil Kumar Karuppasamy, Rohit Dhiman, Harshavardhan Kalathuru, Padmassri Chandrashekar, Daina Emmanuel, Reda Harb
