Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that enhances the viewer experience by providing supplemental content related to a media asset during a fast-access playback operation. For example, in response to a user input during a fast-forward or rewind operation, the media guidance application may generate for display supplemental content related to the progression point of the media asset at which the user input was received while the fast-forward or rewind operation continues.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a user input while a media asset is subject to a trick-play operation;
- determining a progression point in the media asset when the user input was received;
- determining a cast information for the media asset associated with the progression point;
- and
- generating for display the cast information while the media asset continues to be subject to the trick-play operation.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- input circuitry configured to:
- receive a user input while a media asset is subject to a trick-play operation;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a progression point in the media asset when the user input was received;
- determine a cast information for the media asset associated with the progression point;
- and
- generate for display the cast information while the media asset continues to be subject to the trick-play operation.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
- instructions that when executed by input circuitry cause the input circuitry to:
- receive a user input while a media asset is subject to a trick-play operation;
- and
- instructions that when executed by processing circuitry cause the processing circuitry to:
- determine a progression point in the media asset when the user input was received;
- determine a cast information for the media asset associated with the progression point;
- and
- generate for display the cast information while the media asset continues to be subject to the trick-play operation.
