Display systems for simultaneously directing different images to different viewers. A display system is constructed with a display panel with multiple folds that create a number of angled display surfaces. These angled surfaces are oriented so that some surfaces are angled in one direction to project one image to viewers at one location, and the remaining surfaces are angled in a different direction to project a different image to viewers at another location. The folded display panel may be actuated, to change the angles at which display surfaces are oriented, and thus adjust the directions in which images are displayed. In this manner, the display may project images to differing users as they change their locations. Multiple users may thus enjoy differing content at the same time, from the same display device.

Display system for directing different images to different viewers

This disclosure is generally directed to interactive media guidance applications. In particular, methods and systems are provided herein for automatic detection and identification of disabled users near media devices to provide accessible media content. Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, the present disclosure provides a method for allowing disabled users to be detected and identified by a media device automatically. The result is improved access to media content and an enhanced multimedia experience for people with disabilities and improved personalization when it comes to media systems. This can lead towards a hyper-personalized experience tailored towards all users, not just non-disabled users.

Automatic enabling of accessibility features based on profiling and detection of disability

Systems and methods are provided for recommending media content to users with disabilities. In response to determining that a user has a disability, a type of the disability is determined. A media content item to recommend to the user is determined, among a plurality of media content items, based on the determined type of disability and a favorability factor of the media content item for the determined type of disability. The favorability factor of the media content item corresponds to an ability of a user with the determined type of disability to comprehend the media content item. An identifier of the determined media content item is generated for presentation.

Content recommendations for users with disabilities

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a context assistance system converting a reference in a content item based on context associated with the content item. For example, the context assistance system identifies a first entity referenced in the content item associated with a first context. The context assistance system then determines at least one attribute of the first entity. Next, the context assistance system identifies a second context in which the content item is to be presented. The context assistance system determines the second entity based on the second context and on the at least one attribute of the first entity. The context assistance system replaces reference to the first entity in the content item with reference to the second entity.

Systems and methods for improving comprehension in translation based on context-based references

Methods and systems for converting an input content item into an output content item to enhance comprehension of the message by an interlocutor, based on contexts. For example, the conversion may occur in any message service: when an interlocutor writes a message in English (or any other language), he or she might include a regional dialect (purposively or not), such as a piece of slang, that the other interlocutors may not understand, although they all generally write and understand English. In such circumstances, the regional dialect is identified and replaced with either a more globalized word or with another linguistic regionalism that is understandable for the intended interlocutor.
