Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to media systems configured to receive and play media assets. In particular, methods and systems are provided for improved media asset session continuity across such media systems. Systems and methods are provided herein for continuing media asset sessions across media systems or media devices in a way designed to minimize manual intervention, for example, by determining a likelihood (e.g., a probability) of a user requesting media session continuation of an ongoing media asset or a segment thereof across two or more devices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first device, a media asset having an established connection with a source of the media asset, wherein the first device is logged into a user profile associated with the source of the media asset;
- causing to generate, for output at the first device, the received media asset;
- receiving, via a voice recognition interface, a command to transfer the output of the media asset to a second device;
- identifying, based at least in part on the command, the second device for outputting the media asset;
- transferring the output of the media asset to the second device;
- establishing a connection between the source of the media asset and the second device, wherein the second device is logged into the user profile associated with the source of the media asset;
- accessing a first media asset setting associated with the user profile;
- causing to generate, for output at the second device and in accordance with the media asset setting, the media asset;
- accessing a second media asset setting associated with the user profile;
- determining, based at least in part on the transferring and the second media asset setting, that a condition to stop generating the received media asset for output at the first device has been satisfied;
- and
- stopping generating the received media asset for output at the first device.
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a first device, a media asset having an established connection with a source of the media asset, wherein the first device is logged into a user profile associated with the source of the media asset;
- cause to generate, for output at the first device, the received media asset;
- and
- receive, via a voice recognition interface, a command to transfer the output of the media asset to a second device;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- identify, based at least in part on the command, the second device for outputting the media asset;
- transfer the output of the media asset to the second device;
- establish a connection between the source of the media asset and the second device, wherein the second device is logged into the user profile associated with the source of the media asset;
- access a first media asset setting associated with the user profile;
- cause to generate, for output at the second device and in accordance with the media asset setting, the media asset;
- access a second media asset setting associated with the user profile;
- determine, based at least in part on the transferring and the second media asset setting, that a condition to stop generating the received media asset for output at the first device has been satisfied;
- and
- stop generating the received media asset for output at the first device.
