Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided herein for automatically overriding an auto-skip command embedded in a media asset annotation when a user profile indicates a preference for content that is to be auto-skipped. To this end, a media guidance application may play back a media asset to a user, and detect therein a skip annotation that corresponds to a portion of the media asset that is to be played back. The media guidance application may, in response to detecting the skip annotation, access metadata indicating content of the portion, compare the metadata to entries of a profile of the user, and determine whether the user prefers the content based on the comparing. if the user prefers the content, the media guidance application may refrain from executing a skip command indicated by the skip annotation.

Claim (Index 61):
A system for determining whether to execute a skip command embedded in a media asset annotation based on user preference for content that may be skipped, the system comprising:\n communications circuitry; and control circuitry configured to:\n play back a media asset to a user; \n detect, during playback of the media asset, a first skip annotation that corresponds to a first portion of the media asset; \n in response to detecting the first skip annotation, execute a first skip command indicated by the first skip annotation; \n detect that the user has reversed the first skip command; \n based on the user having reversed the first skip command, access metadata describing attributes of the first portion; \n detect, during further playback of the media asset, a second skip annotation that corresponds to a second portion of the media asset; \n in response to detecting the second skip annotation, access metadata describing attributes of the second portion; \n determine whether the metadata describing the attributes of the second portion matches the metadata describing the attributes of the first portion; and \n based on determining that the metadata describing the attributes of the second portion matches the metadata describing the attributes of the first portion, refrain from executing a second skip command indicated by the second skip annotation.
