Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for automatically recording and generating for display a catch-up video in a PIP window. If a user viewing a media program on a user equipment is detected to be distracted, the user equipment automatically begins recording the program. When the user is detected to no longer be distracted, the user equipment begins to display the recorded catch-up video in a PIP window. The playback rate of the catch-up video may be faster than the rate of the live video to allow the user to catch up quickly. The playback rate and size of the PIP window may be varied depending on the duration, remaining duration, and content of the catch-up video.
