Methods, systems, and media for rewinding media content based on detected audio events
First Claim
1. A method for providing media guidance, the method comprising:
- causing, using a hardware processor, media content to be presented, wherein the media content includes an audio portion;
receiving, using an audio input device, audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented;
generating an audio fingerprint from the received audio data;
detecting that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content by comparing the audio fingerprint with a plurality of audio fingerprints representing one or more audio events;
placing one or more identifiers within a media content file corresponding to the presented media content that identifies the one or more audio events based on the comparison;
receiving a user command to rewind the media content by identifying a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content;
determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event, wherein the playback position corresponds to a position in the media content file that is a given time period prior to an identifier within the media content file that identifies the audio event; and
causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content.

7. A system for providing media guidance is provided, the system comprising:
-
an audio input device; a storage device; and at least one hardware processor that is configured to; cause media content to be presented, wherein the media content includes an audio portion; store audio data received using the audio input device in the storage device, wherein the audio data includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented; generate an audio fingerprint from the received audio data; detect that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content by comparing the audio fingerprint with a plurality of audio fingerprints representing one or more audio events; place one or more identifiers within a media content file corresponding to the presented media content that identifies the one or more audio events based on the comparison; receive a user command to rewind the media content by identifying a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content; determine a playback position in the media content based on the audio event, wherein the playback position corresponds to a position in the media content file that is a given time period prior to an identifier within the media content file that identifies the audio event; and cause the media content to be presented from the determined playback position in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting a media file, the method comprising:
-
causing media content to be presented, wherein the media content includes an audio portion; receiving audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented; generating an audio fingerprint from the received audio data; detecting that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content by comparing the audio fingerprint with a plurality of audio fingerprints representing one or more audio events; placing one or more identifiers within a media content file corresponding to the presented media content that identifies the one or more audio events based on the comparison; receiving a user command to rewind the media content by identifying a voice input from the audio data that corresponds to a request to rewind the media content; determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event, wherein the playback position corresponds to a position in the media content file that is a given time period prior to an identifier within the media content file that identifies the audio event; and causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
