Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing presentation settings of a content presentation device are generally described. Presentation settings may include settings specifying the presentation of content, such as contrast or brightness for video content presented through a video display device. Provider presentation settings may be specified by a content provider, third party, or the like for a content asset, such as a movie or video game. The provider presentation settings may be transmitted or otherwise made available to the content presentation device and/or content consumer. For example, the provider presentation settings may be encoded within a content stream and sent to a content presentation device along with the content. The provider presentation settings may be configured to adjust the device presentation settings of a content presentation device.

Claims (47)

1. A system comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a message indicating selection of a content asset of a plurality of content assets for display on a content presentation device;

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a server, based on the indicated selection, a request for presentation settings associated with the content asset including a content presentation device type identifying model information of the content presentation device;

wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, from the server, at least one presentation setting comprising instructions for display and audio settings for playback of the content asset using the content presentation device type; and

a processor in the content presentation device configured to:

adjust at least one presentation setting of the content presentation device based on the at least one presentation setting,

determine at least one presentation characteristic of the content asset during playback of the content asset on the content presentation device, and

adjust, during playback of the content asset on the content presentation device, the at least one presentation setting to correspond with the at least one presentation characteristic.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one presentation setting is associated with a presentation mode for a type of content associated with the content asset.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein recommended presentation settings are displayed via a program guide.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information identifying the content presentation device type comprises model information associated with at least one of a television, a set-top-box, a tablet computing device, or a smartphone.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content asset comprises at least one of broadcast video, video-on-demand (VOD), and satellite radio.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting at least one presentation setting of the content presentation device is further based on content recognition information determined using automatic content recognition.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one presentation setting comprises at least one of treble, bass, contrast, sharpness, brightness, display mode, resolution, aspect ratio, or scaling.

8. A method comprising:

receiving a message indicating selection of a content asset of a plurality of content assets for display on a content presentation device;

transmitting, to a server, based on the indicated selection, a request for presentation settings associated with the content asset including a content presentation device type identifying model information of the content presentation device;

receiving, from the server, at least one presentation setting comprising instructions for display and audio settings for playback of the content asset using the content presentation device type;

adjusting at least one presentation setting of the content presentation device based on the at least one presentation setting;

determining by the content presentation device at least one presentation characteristic of the content asset during playback of the content asset on the content presentation device; and

adjusting, during playback of the content asset on the content presentation device, the at least one presentation setting to correspond with the at least one presentation characteristic.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one presentation setting is associated with a mode for a type of content associated with the content asset.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein recommended presentation settings are displayed via a program guide.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the information identifying the content presentation device type comprises model information associated with at least one of a television, a set-top-box, a tablet computing device, or a smartphone.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the content asset comprises at least one of broadcast video, video-on-demand (VOD), and satellite radio.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting at least one presentation setting of the content presentation device is further based on content recognition information determined using automatic content recognition.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one presentation setting comprises at least one of treble, bass, contrast, sharpness, brightness, display mode, resolution, aspect ratio, or scaling.

15. A device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:

receive a message indicating selection of a content asset of a plurality of content assets for display on the computing device;

transmit, to a server, based on the indicated selection, a request for presentation settings associated with the content asset including a computing device type identifying model information of the computing device;

receive, from the server, at least one presentation setting comprising instructions for display and audio settings for playback of the content asset using the computing device type; and

adjust at least one presentation setting of the computing device based on the at least one presentation setting,

determine from the content presentation device at least one presentation characteristic of the content asset during playback of the content asset on the computing device, and

adjust, during playback of the content asset on the computing device, the at least one presentation setting to correspond with the at least one presentation characteristic.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the information identifying the computing device type comprises model information associated with is at least one of a television, a tablet computing device, or a smartphone.

17. The device of claim 15 , further comprising a decoder in operable communication with the processor, the decoder being configured to decode the presentation setting.

18. The device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one presentation setting comprises at least one of treble, bass, contrast, sharpness, brightness, display mode, resolution, aspect ratio, or scaling.

19. The system of claim 4 , wherein the model information indicates a brand, a resolution, scaling, an aspect ratio, a high definition characteristic, or a size.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information identifying the content presentation device type comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting is triggered based on detection of a watermark encoded in the content asset.

22. The method of claim 11 , wherein the model information indicates a brand, a resolution, scaling, an aspect ratio, a high definition characteristic, or a size.

23. The method of claim 8 , wherein the information identifying the content presentation device type comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

24. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transmitting is triggered based on detection of a watermark encoded in the content asset.

25. The device of claim 15 , wherein the information identifying the content presentation device type comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

26. The device of claim 15 , wherein the transmitting is triggered based on detection of a watermark encoded in the content asset.
