Abstract
Systems, methods, and media for projecting light to indicate a device status are provided. In accordance with some implementations of the disclosed subject matter, systems for projecting light to indicate a device status are provided, the systems comprising: a hardware processor that: determines a light status; determines whether to turn a light source on; selects a light format corresponding to the light status; projects light of a light source according to the light format; and determines whether to turn the light source off.
Claims19
A media content streaming device for projecting light to indicate device status information, the system comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- a hardware processor coupled with the light source, wherein the hardware processor:
- determines a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
- identifies a direction that the light source having the light format is to be projected;
- causes light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status;
- and
- modifies the light format of the light of the light source upon receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device.
A method for projecting light to indicate a device status of a media content streaming device, the method comprising:
- determining a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
- identifying a direction that a light source having the light format is to be projected;
- causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status;
- and
- modifying the light format of the light of the light source upon receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for projecting light to indicate a device status of a media content streaming device, the method comprising:
- determining a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
- identifying a direction that a light source having the light format is to be projected;
- causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status;
- and
- modifying the light format of the light of the light source upon receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device.
