Methods, systems, and media for rewinding media content based on detected audio events

1. A method for providing media guidance, the method comprising:

causing, using a hardware processor, media content to be presented;

receiving, using an audio input device, audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented; receiving a user command to rewind the media content; detecting that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content;

determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event; and

causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position,

wherein receiving the user command to rewind the media content further comprises identifying a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content,

wherein the method further comprising:

detecting a type of audio event from the audio data; and

determining the playback position based on the type of audio event.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the playback position corresponds to a time position in the media content prior to the occurrence of the audio event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the user command to rewind the media content further comprises detecting that the user command has been received from a remote control.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a plurality of absolute ambient noise levels in the audio data;

comparing each of the plurality of absolute ambient noise levels with a predetermined threshold value; and

detecting the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the comparison.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content includes an audio portion and wherein the method further comprises:

calculating a plurality of relative ambient noise levels in the audio data based on the audio portion; and

detecting the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the plurality of relative ambient noise levels.

6. A system for providing media guidance is provided, the system comprising:

an audio input device;

a storage device; and

at least one hardware processor that is configured to:

cause media content to be presented;

store audio data received using the audio input device in the storage device,

wherein the audio data includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented;

receive a user command to rewind the media content; detect that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content;

determine a playback position in the media content based on the audio event; and

cause the media content to be presented from the determined playback position,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

identify a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content;

detect a type of audio event from the audio data; and

determine the playback position based on the type of audio event.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the playback position corresponds to a time position in the media content prior to the occurrence of the audio event.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to detect that the user command has been received from a remote control.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

determine a plurality of absolute ambient noise levels in the audio data;

compare each of the plurality of absolute ambient noise levels with a predetermined threshold value; and

detect the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the comparison.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the media content includes an audio portion and wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

calculate a plurality of relative ambient noise levels in the audio data based on the audio portion; and

detect the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the plurality of relative ambient noise levels.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting a media file, the method comprising:

causing media content to be presented;

receiving audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented;

receiving a user command to rewind the media content; detecting that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content;

determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event; and

causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position,

wherein the method further comprises identifying a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content;

detecting a type of audio event from the audio data; and

determining the playback position based on the type of audio event.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the playback position corresponds to a time position in the media content prior to the occurrence of the audio event.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises detecting that the user command has been received from a remote control.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining a plurality of absolute ambient noise levels in the audio data;

comparing each of the plurality of absolute ambient noise levels with a predetermined threshold value; and detecting the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the comparison.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the media content includes an audio portion and wherein the method further comprises:

calculating a plurality of relative ambient noise levels in the audio data based on the audio portion; and

detecting the audio event during the presentation of the media content based on the plurality of relative ambient noise levels.
