Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presence detection are described herein. A first computing device may emit an inaudible audio signal. A second computing device may detect the inaudible audio signal. The second computing device may send an indication of detecting the inaudible audio signal. The first computing device may cause presentation of content to be modified based on the indication sent by the second computing device and a user profile associated with a user of the second computing device.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- causing, by a first computing device, one or more speakers to emit an inaudible audio signal configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the first computing device;
- receiving, based on the inaudible audio signal, an indication that a second computing device received the inaudible audio signal;
- and
- determining, by the first computing device and based on receiving the indication that the second computing device received the inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the first computing device.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- cause one or more speakers to emit an inaudible audio signal configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the apparatus;
- receive, based on the inaudible audio signal, an indication that a second computing device received the inaudible audio signal;
- and
- determine, based on receiving the indication that the second computing device received the inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the apparatus.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- cause one or more speakers to emit an inaudible audio signal configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to a first computing device;
- receive, based on the inaudible audio signal, an indication that a second computing device received the inaudible audio signal;
- and
- determine, based on receiving the indication that the second computing device received the inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the first computing device.
A system comprising:
- a first computing device configured to:
- cause one or more speakers to emit an inaudible audio signal configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the first computing device;
- receive, based on the inaudible audio signal, an indication that a second computing device received the inaudible audio signal;
- and
- determine, based on receiving the indication that the second computing device received the inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the first computing device;
- and
- the second computing device configured to:
- receive the inaudible audio signal.
