Abstract
Methods are disclosed for receiving and processing video content to aid in a user's rest cycles, such as sleep and wake cycles. Video content may be received and processed to determine information related to a plurality of pixels to be displayed on a screen. Each of the plurality of pixels may have a corresponding color value. A time of day when the video content is to be displayed is determined, and compared to a current time of day. Based on the comparison or other data, a color value of one or more of the pixels can be adjusted or changed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a computing device outputs video content, wherein the video content comprises information for a plurality of pixels each having a first color value and a second color value;
- determining a time in which the computing device outputs the video content;
- determining, based on historical viewing data associated with the computing device, a future time associated with a change associated with the computing device's output of video content;
- and
- sending, based on an amount of time between the time and the future time, an indication to change at least one of the first or the second color values of one or more of the plurality of pixels associated with the video content output by the computing device.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a current time in which an output for video content is active outputting video content that comprises information for a plurality of pixels each having a first color value and a second color value;
- determining, based on historical viewing data associated with the computing device, a future time in which the output for video content is idle;
- and
- sending, based on an amount of time between the current time and the future time, at least one of the first or the second color values of at least one of the plurality of pixels of a portion of the video content.

A method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a computing device is outputting video content, wherein the video content comprises information for a plurality of pixels each having a color value;
- determining a current time in which the computing device is outputting the video content;
- determining, based on historical viewing data associated with the computing device, a future time in which a video content output of the computing device is idle;
- and
- determining, based on an amount of time between:
- the determined future time, and
- the determined current time,
- an amount of a color shift to apply to at least one of the plurality of pixels of the video content.
