Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing an anti-spoiler block based on analyzing content of spoiler information and determining whether the spoiler information is to be blocked. For example, the media guidance application may monitor user actions and content of scrolling news within each video frame that is to be displayed to determine whether a visual element, e.g., a “grey blocker” is to be overlaid upon the scrolling news such that spoiler information in the scrolling news will not be visible. In this way, the user is protected from spoiler information and thus the user viewing experience has improved.

Claim (Index 12):
A system for detecting spoiler information displayed simultaneously with a media asset and providing a visual element to block display of the spoiler information, the system comprising:\n memory; processing circuitry configured to:\n receive, a first media asset including a plurality of consecutive video frames for display at user equipment; \n prior to displaying each of the plurality of consecutive video frames from the media asset:\n determine whether extra information additional to content of a respective video frame will be simultaneously displayed at the user equipment with the respective video frame; \n in response to determining that the extra information will be simultaneously displayed with the respective video frame:\n identify a key term from the extra information; \n query a spoiler relevance table based on the key term to determine a spoiler metric indicative of a degree of spoiler information that the extra information contains; \n compare the determined spoiler metric with a pre-defined spoiler threshold; \n in response to determining that the spoiler metric is greater than the pre-defined spoiler threshold:\n determine an event relating to the spoiler information based on the spoiler information; \n query a user activity history based on information relating to the event for a plurality of information artifacts indicative of social media interactions with the event; \n determine, based on the social media interactions, a user preference for the event; \n determine a blocking metric based on a comparison of the spoiler information relating to the event and the user preference for the event; \n compare the blocking metric with a pre-defined blocking threshold; and \n in response to determining that the blocking metric is greater than the pre-defined blocking threshold, generate for display the respective video frame and the extra information with an overlay of a visual element on top of an area where the extra information is displayed to cover the extra information.
