Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting media output based on presence detection of individuals

A method for transitioning from aural conflict avoidance to visual conflict avoidance when a presence of a conflicted individual is detected, the method comprising:

• causing an output of a video to a display device of a first user;
• monitoring, during the outputting of the video to the first user, for a presence of a second user with a setting in a profile of the second user that indicates a preference for the user to not hear an audio component of the video;
• detecting, during the monitoring, the presence of the second user inside an aural range of the video but outside a visual range of the display device;
• in response to detecting the presence of the second user within the aural range of the video but outside the visual range of the video:
• (a) retrieving a present volume setting of the audio component of the video, and continually adjusting the aural range of the video by transmitting commands to adjust a volume of the audio component of the video away from the present volume setting based on movement of the second user to cause the presence of the second user to continually be outside an adjusted aural range of the video;
• (b) detecting that the second user has moved inside the visual range of the video from inside the aural range of the video but outside the visual range of the display device;
• (c) in response to detecting that the second user has moved inside the visual range of the video, determining whether the profile of the second user indicates a conflict with a presently displayed portion of the visual component of the video;
• and
• (d) in response to determining that the profile of the second user indicates the conflict with the presently displayed portion of the visual component of the video, modifying the visual component of the video to resolve the conflict.

A system for transitioning from aural conflict avoidance to visual conflict avoidance when a presence of a conflicted individual is detected, the system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• cause an output of a video to a display device of a first user;
• monitor, during the outputting of the video to the first user, for a presence of a second user with a setting in a profile of the second user that indicates a preference for the user to not hear an audio component of the video;
• detect, during the monitoring, the presence of the second user inside an aural range of the video but outside a visual range of the display device;
• in response to detecting the presence of the second user within the aural range of the video but outside the visual range of the video:
• (a) retrieve a present volume setting of the audio component of the video, and continually adjust the aural range of the video by transmitting commands to adjust a volume of the audio component of the video away from the present volume setting based on movement of the second user to cause the presence of the second user to continually be outside an adjusted aural range of the video;
• (b) detect that the second user has moved inside the visual range of the video from inside the aural range of the video but outside the visual range of the display device;
• (c) in response to detecting that the second user has moved inside the visual range of the video, determine whether the profile of the second user indicates a conflict with a presently displayed portion of the visual component of the video;

• in response to determining that the profile of the second user indicates the conflict, dynamically adjusting a volume of the video so that the second user is outside of an adjusted aural range of the video;
• determining that the second user has entered the visual range of the display device;
• and
• in response to determining that the second user has entered the visual range of the video, altering a visual component of the video.
