Multi sensory input to improve hands-free actions of an electronic device
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a first device, data representing a demographic characteristic of a user of the first computing device;
receiving, by the first device and from a database remote from the first device, untethered aggregated demographic data for a group of individuals; and
casting content playing on the first device to a second device separate from the first device,the casting being triggered by;
detecting at least one indicator of user-initiated interaction with the first device;
identifying, by the first device, that the first device is currently playing the content; and
determining that the data representing the demographic characteristic of the user of the first device is included in the untethered aggregated demographic data.

Abstract
In one general aspect, a method can include detecting at least one indicator of user-initiated interaction with a computing device, obtaining data related to a demographic of a user of the computing device, identifying a current state of the computing device, determining that content displayed on a first display device included in the computing device is to be casted to a second display device separate from the computing device based on the at least one indicator of the user-initiated interaction with the computing device, the data related to a demographic of a user of the computing device, and the current state of the computing device, and casting the content displayed on the first display device to the second display device.

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors configured to provide data indicative of at least one identified condition associated with a first device; a location detection module configured to identify a proximity of the first device with respect to a second device; a device context module configured to identify a context of the first device; a gesture detection module configured to identify at least one gesture associated with the first device; a memory configured to store at least one characteristic associated with a user of the first device; and an activity module configured to cast content from the first device to the second device, the casting being triggered by a combination of; the identified proximity, the identified context, the identified at least one gesture, the data indicative of movement of the first device, and determining that data representing a demographic characteristic of a user of the first device is included in untethered aggregated demographic data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a first device to:
-
obtain data representing a demographic characteristic of a user of the first device; identify at least one preference of the user of the first device; receive, from a database remote from the first device, untethered aggregated demographic data for a group of individuals; cast content playing on the first device to a second device separate from the first device, the casting being triggered by; detecting at least one indicator of user-initiated interaction with the first device; identifying, by the first device, that the first device is currently playing the content; the identified at least one user preference, and determining that the data representing the demographic characteristic of the user of the first device is included in the untethered aggregated demographic data. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
