Systems and methods for determining playback points in media assets

A method for determining playback points in media assets, the method comprising:

• generating for display a first media asset;
• receiving, while generating for display the first media asset, a keyword from a user;
• in response to receiving the keyword from the user:
• determining a current playback point in the first media asset;
• retrieving metadata associated with the current playback point;
• and
• assigning a context based on the retrieved metadata associated with the current playback point;
• comparing both (1) the keyword and (2) the context with a plurality of keywords and contexts associated with playback points in each of a plurality of other media assets;
• determining, based on the comparing, that the keyword and the context correspond to at least one playback point in each of the plurality of other media assets;
• generating, for each of the plurality of other media assets, an indication that the keyword and the context correspond to at least one playback point;
• detecting a selection of a first indication of the indications, wherein the first indication is associated with a second media asset of the plurality of other media assets;
• and
• in response to the detection of the selection of the first indication, generating for display media guidance data for the second media asset.

A system for determining playback points in media assets, the system comprising:

• user input circuitry;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• generate for display a first media asset;
• receive, while generating for display the first media asset, a keyword from a user;
• in response to receiving the keyword from the user:
• determine a current playback point in the first media asset;
• retrieve metadata associated with the current playback point;
• and
• assign a context based on the retrieved metadata associated with the current playback point;
• compare both (1) the keyword and (2) the context with a plurality of keywords and contexts associated with playback points in each of a plurality of other media assets;
• determine, based on the comparison, that the keyword and the context correspond to at least one playback point in each of the plurality of other media assets;
• generate, for each of the other media assets, an indication that the keyword and the context correspond to at least one playback point;
• detect a selection of a first indication of the indications, wherein the first indication is associated with a second media asset of the plurality of other media assets;
• and
• in response to the detection of the selection of the first indication, generate for display media guidance data for the second media asset.
