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.
Claims21
A media content streaming device for projecting light to indicate device status information, the system comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- a hardware processor that is programmed to:
- detect a presence of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- determine a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
- identify a direction that the light source having the light format is to be projected, wherein the direction is selected from a plurality of directions based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- and
- cause light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to the media content streaming device.
A method for projecting light to indicate a device status of a media content streaming device, comprising:
- detecting a presence of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- 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 the light source having the light format is to be projected, wherein the direction is selected from a plurality of directions based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- and
- causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to 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:
- detecting a presence of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- 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 the light source having the light format is to be projected, wherein the direction is selected from a plurality of directions based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to the media content streaming device;
- and
- causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status based on the detected presence of the user in proximity to the media content streaming device.
