Methods and apparatus for generating personalized menus and a media content interface are provided. In one example, different device specific media asset lists are generated at different user devices for the same user based on the media consumption history at each device. In another example, media asset listings are displayed for multicast and on-demand media assets determined to be of interest to the user. An on-demand media asset is listed at a time when no other multicast media assets are listed. In another example, media asset listings for successive episodes of a media series are displayed in sequential order in response to an input to view successive episodes of a media series. In another example, a text search for media content is performed in which the search priority of media provider results is decreased relative to the search priority of media asset results as additional characters are added to a search string.

Personalized menus and media content interface

A method and apparatus for delivering an ordered list of items of supplemental content to a consumer comprising determining a context of a portion of media selected for consumption, determining consumer preference information corresponding to the consumer, generating the ordered list of items of supplemental content as a function of the context and of the consumer preference information.

Method and apparatus for delivering video and video-related content at sub-asset level

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for allowing a motion-detecting system to distinguish and/or mask motion that originates from a display screen. One method includes: capturing, by a computing device associated with a motion detector, an image of a field of view of the motion detector. The computing device may determine, based on object recognition, one or more candidate display areas within the image of the field of view. Based on the determined candidate display areas within the image, the computing device may generate a mask corresponding to the field of view. The computing device may exclude, from motion detection, motion occurring within the mask of the field of view.
