Abstract: A method for media consumption gap filling comprises: receiving notification that a first user has selected a first broadcast channel to view while the first broadcast channel is showing a first program; determining a desired program scheduled to be presented via the first broadcast channel at a time after an end of the first program; calculating a first duration that starts at a current time and ends at a scheduled time for commencement of the desired program; identifying first gap-filling content that has a duration sufficient to fill the first duration, the first gap-filling content from a first personalized media corpus associated with the first user; and presenting first gap-filling content. A first user presetting may be received, comprising a preference for: flexible gap filling that allows the presenting to extend beyond the scheduled time of the commencement of the desired program or strict ending of gap filling so that the presenting ends at the scheduled time of the commencement of the desired program. Gap-filling content may be recap content, of previously shown media related to the desired program, or an end portion of first media content.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system provide medications to a patient with a time gap including determining a dissolving pattern for the patient. The dissolving pattern includes a medication dissolving rate for a first medication prescribed to the patient and a filler dissolving rate for a filler selected so that the time gap is elapsed prior to a second medication being provided after the first medication. The medication dissolving rate and the filler dissolving rate are specific to the patient. The method includes determining dimensions of the first medication to correspond to a dosage of the prescribed first medication and dimensions of the filler to correspond to the time gap. The method includes providing a pill including at least the first medication and the filler, the first medication surrounding the filler such that the first medication is dissolved prior to the filler being dissolved. The pill may include multiple medications. The pill may be a signal pill comprising an edible electronic circuit configured to provide an alert.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for media consumption gap filling are provided. Notification that a first user has selected a first broadcast channel to view while the first broadcast channel is showing a first program may be received. A desired program scheduled to be presented via the first broadcast channel at a time after an end of the first program may be determined. A first duration may be calculated that starts at a current time and ends at a scheduled time of commencement of the desired program. First gap-filling content that has a duration sufficient to fill the first duration may be identified. The first gap-filling content may be from a first personalized media corpus associated with the first user. The first gap-filling content may be presented.
