Methods and systems for establishing a mode of communication between particular users based on perceived lulls in media assets

摘要

Methods and systems are also provided herein for establishing a mode of communication between a first user and a second user when a media asset is in a lull. Control circuitry may determine that a first user perceives a segment of the media asset as a lull based on a first user profile. The control circuitry may retrieve a second user profile associated with a second user, and may determine that the second user also perceives the segment of the media asset to be a lull based on the second user profile. The control circuitry may responsively establish a mode of communication (e.g., a chat window) between the first user and the second user.

1. A method for establishing a mode of communication, the method comprising:
retrieving, using a video consumption application, a first user profile associated with a first user who is consuming a media asset; determining, using the video consumption application, that the first user perceives a segment of the media asset as a lull based on the first user profile; retrieving, using the video consumption application, a second user profile associated with the second user; determining, using the video consumption application, that the second user also perceives the segment of the media asset to be a lull based on the second user profile; and in response to determining that the first user and the second user both perceive the media asset to be a lull, establishing a mode of communication between the first user and the second user by generating for display, using the video consumption application, a user interface through which the first user may communicate with the second user by way of the mode of communication.
