User preferences are determined for various content types within these segments based on user profiles and content consumption data. Multiple media content streams are tailored to these preferences, offering user-selectable options to switch between streams. Automatic switching may be provided between streams using real-time analytics, user interest, content availability, and metadata analysis. Priority media content streams may be determined based on user profiles, real-time interactions, and feedback. The pre-event segment may include live interviews, crowd gatherings, and expert panel discussions; the interval segment may include highlights, expert analysis, and statistics; and the post-event segment may include interviews, celebrations, and expert discussions. The content may be cast between devices. A cloud-based infrastructure may deliver the content. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: identifying pre-event, interval, and post-event segments of a live event; determining a user preference for one or more types of content for each of the pre-event, interval, and post-event segments of the live event based at least in part on a user profile and content consumption data associated with the user profile; and generating for display a plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the determined user preference, wherein the generated display comprises one or more user selectable options to switch between the plurality of media content streams. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: automatically switching between the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the user profile and the content consumption data associated with the user profile. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the automatic switching between the plurality of media content streams is based at least in part on a combination of user interest, content availability, and metadata analysis. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: determining a priority media content stream of the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the user profile and the content consumption data associated with the user profile; and generating for display the priority media content stream. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: determining a priority media content stream of the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on real-time user interactions and feedback; and generating for display the priority media content stream. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-event segment comprises live interviews, crowd gatherings, and expert panel discussions. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the interval segment comprises highlights, expert analysis, and statistics. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the post-event segment comprises interviews, celebrations, and expert discussions. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising casting the generated display from one device to another. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: based at least in part on determining that at least one additional display is available: generating for display one of the at least two of the plurality of media content streams on a main display; and generating for display another of the at least two of the plurality of media streams including the concurrent live content on the at least one additional display determined to be available. ### Claim 11 A system comprising circuitry configured to: identify pre-event, interval, and post-event segments of a live event; determine a user preference for one or more types of content for each of the pre-event, interval, and post-event segments of the live event based at least in part on a user profile and content consumption data associated with the user profile; and generate for display a plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the determined user preference, wherein the generated display comprises one or more user selectable options to switch between the plurality of media content streams. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the circuitry is configured to: automatically switch between the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the user profile and the content consumption data associated with the user profile. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the automatic switching between the plurality of media content streams is based at least in part on a combination of user interest, content availability, and metadata analysis. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the circuitry is configured to: determine a priority media content stream of the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on the user profile and the content consumption data associated with the user profile; and generate for display the priority media content stream. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the circuitry is configured to: determine a priority media content stream of the plurality of media content streams based at least in part on real-time user interactions and feedback; and generate for display the priority media content stream. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the pre-event segment comprises live interviews, crowd gatherings, and expert panel discussions. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the interval segment comprises highlights, expert analysis, and statistics. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the post-event segment comprises interviews, celebrations, and expert discussions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the circuitry is configured to cast the generated display from one device to another. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the circuitry is configured to: based at least in part on determining that at least two of the plurality of media content streams comprise concurrent live content, and based at least in part on determining that at least one additional display is available: generating for display one of the at least two of the plurality of media content streams including the concurrent live content on the main display; and generating for display another of the at least two of the plurality of media streams including the concurrent live content on the at least one additional display determined to be available.
