Abstract
Arrangements for transitioning content are presented herein. A first signal, associated with a media playback device, can be received that includes first user identification information. A first user can be identified based on the first signal. Media content can be caused to be presented on the media playback device based on the identification of the first user. A second signal can be received that associated with the media playback device. A determination can be made that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device based on the second signal. The media content may then no longer be presented by the media playback device in response to determining that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing circuit of a media playback device that, when executing computer executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
- receive a first signal, associated with the media playback device, that includes first user identification information;
- identify a first user based on the first signal;
- cause media content to be presented on the media playback device based on the identification of the first user;
- receive a second signal associated with the media playback device;
- determine that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device based on the second signal;
- and
- cause the media content to no longer be presented by the media playback device in response to determining that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing circuit, a first signal, associated with a media playback device, that includes first user identification information;
- identifying, by the processing circuit, a first user based on the first signal;
- causing, by the processing circuit, media content to be presented on the media playback device based on the identification of the first user;
- receiving, by the processing circuit, a second signal associated with the media playback device;
- determining, by the processing circuit, that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device based on the second signal;
- and
- causing, by the processing circuit, the media content to no longer be presented by the media playback device in response to determining that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to:
- receive a first signal, associated with a media playback device, that includes first user identification information;
- identify a first user based on the first signal;
- cause media content to be presented on the media playback device based on the identification of the first user;
- receive a second signal that includes second user identification information associated with the media playback device;
- determine that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device based on the second signal;
- and
- cause the media content to no longer be presented by the media playback device in response to determining that the first user has transitioned away from the media playback device.
