METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING CUSTOMIZED COLLAGES OF MEDIA ASSETS BASED ON USER CRITERIA

摘要

Methods and systems are described herein for the generation of customized collages of media assets that allow a user to quickly and efficiently review numerous media assets related to user selected criteria. For example, in response to a user requesting a search of “Johnny Appleseed,” a media guidance application may retrieve a plurality of media assets from various sources (e.g., television shows, newspaper articles, radio broadcasts, Internet websites, etc.) related to Johnny Appleseed and display the plurality of media assets simultaneously.

1. A method of generating for display customized collages of media content, the method comprising:
determining, using control circuitry, a plurality of media assets corresponding to a user criterion; categorizing, using the control circuitry, the plurality of media assets into groups with similar characteristics; selecting, using the control circuitry, a media asset from each of the groups; determining, using the control circuitry, an accentuation for each selected media asset based on a quality associated with a group from which the selected media asset was selected; and generating for simultaneous consumption by a user the selected media assets on a display device with the determined accentuation.
