Systems and methods for customizing delivery of advertisements
When a viewer is determined to be interested in an advertisement, a media guidance application may identify a second related advertisement to display to the viewer. The second advertisement may be displayed following the first interesting advertisement. To avoid timing issues, media content following the advertisements may be buffered so that the viewer can catch up on the media content without missing anything.
1. A method comprising:
parsing metadata for a media item to obtain product information about the media item;
searching a database for a product associated with the media item based on the product information;
determining an average rating of the product;
obtaining a first review for the product corresponding to the average rating from the database; and
overlaying a portion of the first review in a display of the media item without receiving a user input.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata comprises information for at least one of a product category, a product name, product features, target audience of the media item, or a geographic reach.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein searching the database for the product comprises searching a social network of a viewer of the media item for a post associated with the media item.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the average rating is within a predetermined range of ratings, and wherein the first review for the product has the average rating.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
parsing a social network of a viewer of the media item to identify a connection of the viewer;
determining that a number of interactions between the connection and the viewer is above a threshold; and
selecting a review from the connection as the first review based on the determination that the number of interactions between the connection and the viewer is above the threshold.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the first review is based on a geographic location of the viewer.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a text length available for an overlay over the media item; and
determining whether the portion of the first review exceeds the text length available for the overlay.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
upon determining that the portion of the first review exceeds the text length available for the overlay, obtaining a second review for the product based on the average rating that is different from the first review.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein overlaying the portion of the first review in the display of the media item is based on determining that the portion of the first review does not exceed the text length available for the overlay.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the text length is determined based on at least one of a screen size of a device displaying the media item or user preference data for a text size.
11. A system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
parse metadata for a media item to obtain product information about the media item;
search a database for a product associated with the media item based on the product information;
determine an average rating of the product;
obtain a first review for the product corresponding to the average rating from the database; and
overlay a portion of the first review in a display of the media item without receiving a user input.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the metadata comprises information for at least one of a product category, a product name, product features, target audience of the media item, or a geographic reach.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when searching the database for the product, is configured to search a social network of a viewer of the media item for a post associated with the media item.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the average rating is within a predetermined range of ratings, and wherein the first review for the product has the average rating.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
parse a social network of a viewer of the media item to identify a connection of the viewer;
determine that a number of interactions between the connection and the viewer is above a threshold; and
select a review from the connection as the first review based on the determination that the number of interactions between the connection and the viewer is above the threshold.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein obtaining the first review is based on a geographic location of the viewer.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine a text length available for an overlay over the media item; and
determine whether the portion of the first review exceeds the text length available for the overlay.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
upon determining that the portion of the first review exceeds the text length available for the overlay, obtain a second review for the product based on the average rating that is different from the first review.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein overlaying the portion of the first review in the display of the media item is based on determining that the portion of the first review does not exceed the text length available for the overlay.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the text length is determined based on at least one of a screen size of a device displaying the media item or user preference data for a text size.
