FIG. 12 is a flowchart of illustrative steps for generating a display of information about fantasy sports scoring opportunities in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure. It should be noted that process 1200 or any step thereof could be performed on, or provided by, any of the devices shown in FIGS. 6-7. For example, process 1200 may be executed by control circuitry 604 (FIG. 6) as instructed by a media application implemented on user equipment 702 in order to present on-screen graphics. In addition, one or more steps of process 1200 may be incorporated into or combined with one or more steps of any other process or embodiment (e.g., process 1300 (FIG. 13)).
At step 1205, the control circuitry 604, using a media application, generates for display a video of a live sporting event. At step 1207, the control circuitry 604 retrieves, from a memory (e.g., storage 608 (FIG. 6) or media content source 716 (FIG. 7) or from a remote server 715), current status data of a fantasy sports event in which a user is participating. In some embodiments, the control circuitry 604 may instruct communication circuitry to retrieve the current status data from a remote source, e.g., a fantasy sports service provider such as DraftKings, Yahoo!, ESPN, or Fan Duel using a service API or by scraping web data. In some embodiments, the media application may inspect information provided by a media content source (e.g., content source 716 (FIG. 7)) to obtain the current status data and store that information in storage 608.
