Systems and methods for rearranging a trailer for media content based on spoiler information

1. A method for presenting a trailer for media content, the method comprising:

retrieving a viewing history of at least one user;

determining, based on the retrieved viewing history, whether any of a plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information for the at least one user, wherein the plurality of segments is arranged in a predetermined order;

responsive to the determination that at least one of the plurality of segments contains spoiler information, rearranging a position of the at least one segment within the trailer to generate a rearranged order of the plurality of segments, wherein within the rearranged order of the plurality of segments, the at least one segment containing spoiler information is positioned after segments determined not to contain spoiler information; and

generating for display the trailer in the rearranged order.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the at least one user, wherein the at least one user is proximate to a display device for displaying the trailer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the media content is part of a series comprising a plurality of episodes; and

the viewing history of the at least one user indicates episodes that the user has watched among the plurality of episodes.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the media content is part of a series comprising a plurality of episodes; and

the viewing history of the at least one user indicates a latest episode that the user has watched among the plurality of episodes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one user comprises a plurality of users;

the retrieving the viewing history comprises retrieving a viewing history of each of the plurality of users; and

the determining whether any of the plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information comprises determining, based on the retrieved viewing history of each of the plurality of users, whether any of the plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information for any of the plurality of users.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the rearranging the position of the at least one segment comprises:

determining, for each of the at least one segment containing spoiler information, a number of users, among the plurality of users, that the segment contains spoiler information for; and

rearranging the position of each of the at least one segment containing spoiler information for any of the plurality of users to the end of the plurality of segments in increasing order of the determined number of users that each of the at least one segment contains spoiler information for.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the generating for display the trailer in the rearranged order comprises:

determining users among the plurality of users who will be shown at least one segment containing spoiler information; and

generating for display a personalized spoiler notification for each of the determined users, wherein each of the personalized spoiler notifications is configured to be shown at least a predetermined time before the corresponding at least one segment containing spoiler information for the user is to be shown.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined time is five seconds or less.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the personalized spoiler notification for each of the plurality of users is overlaid on a portion of the trailer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether any of the plurality of segments contain spoiler information for the at least one user comprises:

accessing a spoiler information database;

comparing the viewing history of the at least one user and the plurality of segments with the accessed spoiler information database; and

determining, based on a result of the comparing, whether any of the plurality of segments contain spoiler information for the at least one user.

11. A system for presenting a trailer for media content, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:

retrieve a viewing history of at least one user;

determine, based on the retrieved viewing history, whether any of a plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information for the at least one user, wherein the plurality of segments is arranged in a predetermined order;

responsive to the determination that at least one of the plurality of segments contains spoiler information, rearrange a position of the at least one segment within the trailer to generate a rearranged order of the plurality of segments, wherein within the rearranged order of the plurality of segments, the at least one segment containing spoiler information is positioned after segments determined not to contain spoiler information; and

generate for display the trailer in the rearranged order.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

identify the at least one user, wherein the at least one user is proximate to a display device for displaying the trailer.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the media content is part of a series comprising a plurality of episodes; and

the viewing history of the at least one user indicates episodes that the user has watched among the plurality of episodes.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

media content is part of a series comprising a plurality of episodes; and

wherein the viewing history of the at least one user indicates a latest episode that the user has watched among the plurality of episodes.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the at least one user comprises a plurality of users;

the control circuitry is further configured, when retrieving the viewing history, to retrieve a viewing history of each of the plurality of users; and

the control circuitry is further configured, when determining whether any of the plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information, to determine based on the retrieved viewing history of each of the plurality of users, whether any of the plurality of segments of the trailer contain spoiler information for any of the plurality of users.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured, when rearranging the position of the at least one segment, to:

determine, for each of the at least one segment containing spoiler information, a number of users, among the plurality of users, that the segment contains spoiler information for; and

rearrange the position of each of the at least one segment containing spoiler information for any of the plurality of users to the end of the plurality of segments in increasing order of the determined number of users that each of the at least one segment contains spoiler information for.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured, when generating for display the trailer in the rearranged order, to:

determine users among the plurality of users who will be shown at least one segment containing spoiler information; and

generate for display a personalized spoiler notification for each of the determined users, wherein each of the personalized spoiler notifications is configured to be shown at least a predetermined time before the corresponding at least one segment containing spoiler information for the user is to be shown.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined time is five seconds or less.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the personalized spoiler notification for each of the plurality of users is overlaid on a portion of the trailer.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured, when determining whether any of the plurality of segments contain spoiler information for the at least one user, to:

access a spoiler information database;

compare the viewing history of the at least one user and the plurality of segments with the accessed spoiler information database; and

determine, based on a result of the comparing, whether any of the plurality of segments contain spoiler information for the at least one user.
