Abstract
In aspects of adjusting volume of audio playback based on a detected user sleeping, a first computing device implements a volume manager that determines whether a user of the first computing device is sleeping. The volume manager detects audio playback that is output from speakers of a second computing device located within a threshold proximity to the first computing device. The volume manager then outputs a trigger to cause the second computing device to adjust a volume of the audio playback based on a determination that the user of the first computing device is sleeping.
Claims20
A first computing device, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the first computing device to:
- determine whether a user of the first computing device is sleeping;
- detect audio playback that is output from speakers of a second computing device located within a threshold proximity to the first computing device;
- and
- output a trigger to cause the second computing device to adjust a volume of the audio playback based on a determination that the user of the first computing device is sleeping.
A second computing device, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the second computing device to:
- determine whether a user of a first computing device is sleeping;
- detect audio playback that is output from speakers of the second computing device located within a threshold proximity to the first computing device;
- and
- output a trigger to cause the second computing device to adjust a volume of the audio playback based on a determination that the user of the first computing device is sleeping.
A method comprising:
- detecting that a first computing device is located within a threshold proximity to a second computing device;
- determining that the second computing device is engaged in outputting audio playback from speakers of the second computing device;
- receiving data related to a sleep status of a user of the first computing device;
- and
- outputting a trigger to cause the second computing device to adjust a volume of the audio playback in response to determining the user of the first computing device is sleeping based on the data related to the sleep status of the user of the first computing device.
