Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for activating a personalized user profile on a device based on the detection of an outlying user input. A media guidance application detects a user input that is inconsistent with an active user profile. In response, the media guidance application identifies a candidate user that both shares a location with the device and has a user profile consistent with the user input. The media guidance application activates the user profile of the candidate user as a temporary active user profile on the device.

A method comprising:
- detecting a first device and a second device within a proximity of a third device;
- causing to be displayed on the third device a first recommendation selected based on a first profile associated with the first device;
- causing to be displayed on the third device a second recommendation selected based on a second profile associated with the second device, wherein the first recommendation and the second recommendation are simultaneously displayed;
- in response to receiving a first user selection, at the third device, of the first recommendation, updating the first profile based on the first user selection;
- and
- in response to receiving a second selection, at the third device, of the second recommendation, updating the second profile based on the second user selection.
A system comprising control circuitry configured to:
- detect a first device and a second device within a proximity of a third device;
- cause to be displayed on the third device a first recommendation selected based on a first profile associated with the first device;
- cause to be displayed on the third device a second recommendation selected based on a second profile associated with the second device, wherein the first recommendation and the second recommendation are simultaneously displayed;
- in response to receiving a first user selection, at the third device, of the first recommendation, update the first profile based on the first user selection;
- and
- in response to receiving a second selection, at the third device, of the second recommendation, update the second profile based on the second user selection.
