Methods and systems for providing objects that describe media assets

摘要

Methods and systems are described herein for providing objects describing media content. For example, in response to detecting that a particular media listing is not associated with an graphic and/or text content (e.g., box art) describing the particular media listing, a media guidance application may generate a custom graphic and/or text content (e.g., custom box art) for the media listing based on graphic and/or text content of a media listing for a media asset associated with the particular media asset.

主权项

1. A method for providing objects describing media content, the method comprising:
receiving, using control circuitry, a request for a first media identifier, wherein the first media identifier is associated with a first box art describing a first media asset; determining, using the control circuitry, that the first box art is not available in a database storing box art for media identifiers; in response to determining that the first box art is not available in the database, determining, using the control circuitry, whether the first media asset is part of a series of media assets; in response to determining that the first media asset is part of the series of media assets, determining, using the control circuitry, whether the database includes a second box art, wherein the second box art is associated with the series of media assets; in response to determining that the database includes the second box art, associating, using the control circuitry, the second box art with the first media identifier; and generating for display, on a display device, the first media identifier with the second box art.
