Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided herein for receiving a request from a user to access a video that is scheduled for transmission, simultaneously to a plurality of users, beginning from a scheduled start time. The request is received after the scheduled start time the transmission is performed by a linear service to which the user subscribes. In response to receiving the request, the systems and methods may generate for display the video to the user, and may receive, during display of the video, a command from the user to start playback of the video over from the beginning. In response to receiving the command, the systems and methods may identify a non-linear service to which the user subscribes that offers a non-linear copy of the video, and may play back the non-linear copy of the video from the beginning.

International Classification:

H04N 21/482
H04N 21/237

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for navigating between groups of media assets based on multiple user inputs of directional navigation commands received within a threshold period of time of each other. Specifically, the system may navigate through a number of ordered groups of media assets without presenting information to the user related to the specific groups (e.g., present to the user media assets associated with the group) in response to receiving the multiple directional navigation commands, thus allowing a user to navigate to a desired group of media assets with fewer distractions.
