METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING FOR DISPLAY PORTIONS OF MEDIA ASSETS

摘要

Methods and apparatus are described herein to provide for transitioning between a first scene of a first media asset and a second scene of a second media asset. The second scene of the second media asset may be pre-defined in received media guidance data, or may be defined by a user. The first media asset and second media asset may each either be a scheduled media asset or an unscheduled media asset. Determination of a transition between the first media asset and the second media asset may be based on identifiers corresponding to the first media asset and/or identifiers corresponding to the second media asset.

1. A method for generating for display portions of media assets, comprising:
generating for display, on a display screen, a first scene of a first media asset; receiving a request to access a second scene of a second media asset, based on a user selection of the second scene; and without receiving further user inputs:
determining that a first point in time corresponds to a start time of the second scene while the first media asset is generated for display;replacing the first scene with the second scene on the display screen based on determining that the first point in time corresponding to the start time;determining that a second point in time corresponds to an end time of the second scene while the second scene is generated for display; andreplacing the second scene with the first media asset on the display screen based on determining that the second point in time corresponding to the end time.
