Abstract
Methods and systems are described herein for a media guidance application that automatically corrects overruns during fast-access playback operations. For example, the media guidance application may base overrun corrections on the attentiveness of the user.
Claims21
A method for automatically correcting overruns during fast-access playback operations, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input ending a fast-access playback operation at a first progression point in a media asset;
- determining an attentiveness level of a user;
- cross-referencing the attentiveness level of the user with a database associated with overrun corrections to determine an overrun correction based on the attentiveness level;
- automatically selecting a second progression point in the media asset for ending the fast-access playback operation based on the overrun correction;
- and
- ending the fast-access playback operation at the second progression point.

A system for automatically correcting overruns during fast-access playback operations, the system comprising control circuitry that:
- receives a user input ending a fast-access playback operation at a first progression point in a media asset;
- determines an attentiveness level of a user;
- cross-references the attentiveness level of the user with a database associated with overrun corrections to determine an overrun correction based on the attentiveness level;
- automatically selects a second progression point in the media asset for ending the fast-access playback operation based on the overrun correction;
- and
- ends the fast-access playback operation at the second progression point.
