an input/output circuitry configured to:
detect an interruption during playing of a segment of a media asset on a user device; and

a control circuitry configured to:
identify a device that is causing the interruption;
compare metadata of the segment with a user profile associated with the user device;
generate, based on the comparing, an importance score of the segment;
select, in response to the generating of a high value as the importance score, a selected action to perform upon conclusion of the interruption, wherein the selected action is playing the segment from a position where the interruption occurred;
select, in response to the generating of a non-high value as the importance score, a selected action to perform, wherein the selected action is skipping the segment and resuming playing the media asset from a position after the segment;
in response to determining that the interruption has concluded, cause performance of the selected action.
