SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING MEDIA ASSETS FOR DISPLAY IN A SCREEN OF AN INTERACTIVE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION

1 - 36 . (canceled)

37 . A method of selecting assets for display in an interactive media guidance application, the method comprising:

generating a list of non-linear media assets;

retrieving, from storage, for each of the non-linear media assets in the list, an indication of at least one of whether the media asset has been viewed by a user and a respective time associated with the media asset;

prioritizing the list of the non-linear media assets based on the retrieved indication; and

generating for display identifiers for each of the non-linear media assets in the list arranged according to the prioritized list.

38 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the list of non-linear media assets is generated based on receiving a user input indicating an interest in a media item.

39 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the list of non-linear media assets is generated based on available area in the interactive media guidance application screen.

40 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the non-linear media assets includes at least one of recordings, recent associated content, on demand content, episode catch-up, next new episode, viewed content, photographs, music content, games, next game, missed games, extra scenes, interactive portals, shopping, music videos, music files, news, biographical information, and sports statistics.

41 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the indication indicates whether the media asset has been viewed by the user and the respective time associated with the media asset.

42 . The method of claim 41 further comprising:

determining, based on the prioritizing, a subset of the media assets in the list to display in the interactive media guidance application; and

generating for display the identifiers for each of the subset of media assets in the interactive media guidance application screen.

43 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the respective time associated with the media asset includes at least one of a broadcast time, available time, and viewing time.

44 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the prioritizing comprises assigning, without user input, a first priority to a first non-linear media asset and a second priority to a second non-linear media asset.

45 . The method of claim 37 , wherein the identifiers include at least one of a program title, genre, category, type of non-linear media asset, program series, available related content, an occurrence of a next new content, new recordings, and episode catch-up.

46 . The method of claim 37 further comprising:

determining a subset of the media assets, based on the prioritizing, that are not included in a subscription service; and

packaging the subset of the media assets for upselling.

47 . A system of selecting assets for display in an interactive media guidance application, the system comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

generate a list of non-linear media assets;

retrieve, from storage, for each of the non-linear media assets in the list, an indication of at least one of whether the media asset has been viewed by a user and a respective time associated with the media asset;

prioritize the list of the non-linear media assets based on the retrieved indication; and

generate for display identifiers for each of the non-linear media assets in the list arranged according to the prioritized list.

48 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the list of non-linear media assets is generated based on receiving a user input indicating an interest in a media item.

49 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the list of non-linear media assets is generated based on available area in the interactive media guidance application screen.

50 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the non-linear media assets includes at least one of recordings, recent associated content, on demand content, episode catch-up, next new episode, viewed content, photographs, music content, games, next game, missed games, extra scenes, interactive portals, shopping, music videos, music files, news, biographical information, and sports statistics.

51 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the indication indicates whether the media asset has been viewed by the user and the respective time associated with the media asset.

52 . The system of claim 51 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

determine, based on the prioritize, a subset of the media assets in the list to display in the interactive media guidance application; and

generate for display the identifiers for each of the subset of media assets in the interactive media guidance application screen.

53 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the respective time associated with the media asset includes at least one of a broadcast time, available time, and viewing time.

54 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the control circuitry further configured to prioritize assigns, without user input, a first priority to a first non-linear media asset and a second priority to a second non-linear media asset.

55 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the identifiers include at least one of a program title, genre, category, type of non-linear media asset, program series, available related content, an occurrence of a next new content, new recordings, and episode catch-up.

56 . The system of claim 47 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

determine a subset of the media assets, based on the prioritize, that are not included in a subscription service; and

package the subset of the media assets for upselling.
