METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRESENTING SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT IN RESPONSE TO DETECTING A SECOND DEVICE

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that alleviates the burden on a user of describing the events of a media asset to another user that begins watching the media asset after the media asset has begun. For example, a media guidance application may determine that a first device (e.g., a smartphone carried by a first user) has entered a location at which an already in progress media asset is being presented on a second device (e.g., a television viewed by a second user). In response, the media guidance application determines the events that have thus transpired in the media asset, and generates for display a summary of the events on the first device.

1. A method for providing customized content, the method comprising:
determining a first device has entered a predetermined proximity to a second device while the second device was presenting a media asset; in response to determining the first device has entered the predetermined proximity to the second device while the second device was presenting the media asset, determining a current progress point of the media asset on the second device; cross-referencing the progress point with a database listing supplemental media assets that are appropriate for presentation on the first device, wherein each of the supplemental media assets corresponds to different progress points of the media asset, to identify a supplemental media asset for presentation on the first device; and instructing the first device to generate for presentation the identified supplemental media asset.
