Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presence detection are described herein. A first computing device may emit an inaudible audio signal. A second computing device may detect the inaudible audio signal. The second computing device may send an indication of detecting the inaudible audio signal. The first computing device may cause presentation of content to be modified based on the indication sent by the second computing device and a user profile associated with a user of the second computing device.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- determining, by a first computing device and based on a second computing device receiving an inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a location of the first computing device;
- determining a user associated with the second computing device;
- and
- causing, based on a user preference associated with the user, modification to an output of a content item.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- determine, based on a second computing device receiving an inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a location of a first computing device comprising the at least one processor;
- determine a user associated with the second computing device;
- and
- causing, based on a user preference associated with the user, modification to an output of a content item.
A first computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:
- determine, based on a second computing device receiving an inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a location of the first computing device;
- determine a user associated with the second computing device;
- and
- causing, based on a user preference associated with the user, modification to an output of a content item.
A system comprising:
- a first computing device configured to:
- determine, based on a second computing device receiving an inaudible audio signal, the second computing device is proximate to a location of the first computing device;
- determine a user associated with the second computing device;
- and
- causing, based on a user preference associated with the user, modification to an output of a content item;
- and
- the second computing device configured to:
- receive the inaudible audio signal.
