Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application that detects, and responds to, a user's review of video content on a media device. The media guidance application detects a rewind operation during playback of a video comprising a media asset. In response, the media guidance application determines if the playback position reached during the rewind operation occurs during a first break in the media asset and, if so, identifies objects depicted in the video at the playback position, and presents auxiliary video relating to an object at a second break in the media asset.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- detecting, during presentation of a media asset, a first operation affecting the presentation of the media asset;
- determining a position reached during the first operation;
- in response to determining the position reached during the first operation:
- determining a first subset of objects of a plurality of objects depicted in the media asset at the position, wherein each object of the first subset of objects is associated with an auxiliary video;
- and
- retrieving metadata associated with the first subset of objects depicted in the media asset at the position;
- comparing the metadata associated with the first subset of objects to a list of searched items to identify a second subset of objects from the first subset of objects in the list of searched items;
- and
- selecting an object of the second subset of objects based at least in part on the object of the second subset of objects exceeding a threshold number of appearances within the list of searched items;
- detecting, during the presentation of the media asset, a second operation affecting the media asset, wherein the second operation is subsequent to the first operation;
- and
- based at least in part on detecting the second operation, generating for output, during or after the second operation affecting the media asset, the auxiliary video associated with the selected object from the first operation.

A system comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- detect, during presentation of a media asset, a first operation affecting the presentation of the media asset;
- determine a position reached during the first operation;
- in response to determining the position reached during the first operation:
- determine a first subset of objects of a plurality of objects depicted in the media asset at the position, wherein each object of the first subset of objects is associated with an auxiliary video;
- and
- retrieve metadata associated with the first subset of objects depicted in the media asset at the position;
- compare the metadata associated with the first subset of objects to a list of searched items to identify a second subset of objects from the first subset of objects in the list of searched items;
- and
- select an object of the second subset of objects based at least in part on the object of the second subset of objects exceeding a threshold number of appearances within the list of searched items;
- detect, during the presentation of the media asset, a second operation affecting the media asset, wherein the second operation is subsequent to the first operation;
- and
- based at least in part on detecting the second operation, generate for output, during or after the second operation affecting the media asset, the auxiliary video associated with the selected object from the first operation.
