METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATICALLY CORRECTING OVERRUNS DURING FAST-ACCESS PLAYBACK OPERATIONS BASED ON THE ATTENTIVENESS OF A USER
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.
1 . 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.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the overrun correction indicates a number of frames of the media asset from the first progression point to be skipped.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fast-access playback operation includes a fast-forward or rewind operation.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
continually monitoring attentiveness levels of the user during the fast-access playback operation; and
cross-referencing attentiveness levels of the user with the database in real-time.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the attentiveness level is based on the average attentiveness of the user during the fast-access playback operation.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the attentiveness level of the user prior to receiving the user input.
7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining a user associated with the fast-access playback option based on content of a media asset subject to the fast-access playback operation; and
selecting the overrun correction based on a level of skill associated with the user.
8 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining content of the media asset; and
cross-referencing the content with the database associated with overrun corrections to determine the overrun correction based on the content.
9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining a portion of the media asset associated with the first progression point; and
selecting the overrun correction based on a correction associated with the portion.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a portion of the media asset associated with the first progression point; and
selecting the second progression point in response to determining that the second progression point corresponds to a beginning point of the portion.
11 . 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.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the overrun correction indicates a number of frames of the media asset from the first progression point to be skipped.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the fast-access playback operation includes a fast-forward or rewind operation.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry:
continually monitors attentiveness levels of the user during the fast-access playback operation; and
cross-references attentiveness levels of the user with the database in real-time.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the attentiveness level is based on the average attentiveness of the user during the fast-access playback operation.
16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry determines the attentiveness level of the user prior to receiving the user input.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry:
determines a user associated with the fast-access playback option based on content of a media asset subject to the fast-access playback operation; and
selects the overrun correction based on a level of skill associated with the user.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry:
determines content of the media asset; and
cross-references the content with the database associated with overrun corrections to determine the overrun correction based on the content.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry:
determines a portion of the media asset associated with the first progression point; and
selects the overrun correction based on a correction associated with the portion.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry:
determines a portion of the media asset associated with the first progression point; and
selects the second progression point in response to determining that the second progression point corresponds to a beginning point of the portion.
