Abstract

Systems and methods are presented for providing of dynamic content based on user preferences, for example, identifying a consumer's preferences for a media asset and tailoring the media asset to the consumer's preferences to encourage the consumer to continue to consume the media asset. The system generates the media asset for consumption. The system identifies a media asset consumption profile based on the media asset and a viewer profile and identifies a second media asset that may be used to enhance to the first media asset. The system generates an enhanced media asset from the second media asset based on the viewer profile and provides the enhanced program for consumption. An enhanced media asset may include the video content of the first media asset and the audio and text content from the second media asset.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a user interface request for a first media asset, wherein the first media asset comprises first video, first metadata, first subtitles and first audio;

determining a content category of the first media asset based on the first metadata associated with the first media asset, wherein the content category comprises a sport type or a genre;

identifying consumption habits associated with a user device for the content category determined;

identifying for the first media asset, based on the consumption habits associated with the user device for the content category determined, a content category profile associated with the user device, wherein the content category profile comprises a genre or sport type identified based on the consumption habits associated with the user device;

identifying one or more second media assets corresponding to the content category profile and the first media asset;

replacing one or more of the first subtitles and the first audio from the first media asset with one or more second subtitles and second audio from the second media asset; and

generating for output the first video from the first media asset with the replaced one or more second subtitles and second audio and the inserted interactive content from the second media asset,

wherein the content category profile comprises a user proficiency in a type of sport.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the replacing one or more of the first subtitles and the first audio from the first media asset with one or more second subtitles and second audio from the second media asset comprises replacing the first audio of the first media asset with the second audio of the second media asset.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the content category profile comprises:

monitoring viewing habits of the user device associated with the content category profile;

determining, based on the monitored viewing habits, a viewing pattern associated with the content category profile; and

updating the content category profile with the determined viewing pattern.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media asset and the second media asset are the same video content with different audio and subtitle content.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second media asset comprises secondary content different than the first media asset, wherein the secondary content comprises one or more of games rules, game statistics, team statistics, player statistics, and fantasy statistics.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content category profile is selected from one of fun, beginner, intermediate, advance, comical and satirical profiles.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first media asset is live content.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a user action associated with the user device while generating the first media asset, and wherein the replacing further comprises modifying the first media asset by one or more of modulation of the audio, repeating a portion of the first media asset identified as critical, adjusting a volume control, replacing the first subtitles from the first media asset with dynamic subtitles from the second media asset, replacing the first audio from the first media asset with dynamic audio content from the second media asset.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user action associated with the user device is one or more of walking, driving, focused watching, on the move, watching from a distance, watching on a mobile display while the generating for output the first video from the first media asset.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user action associated with the user device is identified automatically based on monitoring a movement of the user associated with the user device.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content category profile comprises a user preference for a sports team,

wherein the one or more second subtitles and second audio from the second media asset comprises information according to the user preference for the sports team.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user proficiency in the type of sport comprises a level of familiarity with the type of sport.

13. A system comprising:

a storage configured to store a content category profile;

input circuitry configured to receive a user interface request for a first media asset comprising first video, first metadata, first subtitles and first audio; and

control circuitry configured to:

determine a content category of the first media asset based on the first metadata associated with the first media asset, wherein the content category comprises a sport type or a genre;

identify consumption habits associated with a user device for the content category determined;

identify for the first media asset, based on the consumption habits associated with the user device for the content category determined, a content category profile associated with the user device, wherein the content category profile comprises a genre or sport type identified based on the consumption habits associated with the user device;

identify one or more second media assets corresponding to the content category profile and the first media asset;

replace one or more of the first subtitles and the first audio from the first media asset with one or more second subtitles and second audio from the second media asset; and

generate for output the first video from the first media asset with the replaced one or more second subtitles and second audio and the inserted interactive content from the second media asset,

wherein the content category profile comprises a user proficiency in a type of sport.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein, to replace the one or more of the first subtitles and the first audio from the first media asset with one or more second subtitles and second audio from the second media asset, the control circuitry is further configured to replace the first audio of the first media asset with the second audio of the second media asset.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein to identify the category profile the control circuitry is further configured to:

monitor viewing habits of the user device associated with the content category profile;

determine, based on the monitored viewing habits a viewing pattern associated with the content category profile; and

update the content category profile with the determined viewing pattern.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first media asset and the second media asset are the same video content with different audio and subtitle content.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the second media asset comprises secondary content different than the first media asset, wherein the secondary content comprises one or more of games rules, game statistics, team statistics, player statistics, and fantasy statistics.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the content category profile is selected from one of fun, beginner, intermediate, advance, comical and satirical profiles.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the first media asset is live content.

20. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to identify a user action associated with the user device while generating the first media asset, and

wherein the replacing further comprises modifying the first media asset by one or more of modulation of the audio, repeating a portion of the first media asset identified as critical, adjusting a volume control, replacing the first subtitles from the first media asset with dynamic subtitles from the second media asset, replacing the first audio from the first media asset with dynamic audio content from the second media asset.
