First Claim
1. A user receiving device comprising:
- a proximity circuit configured to detect a first mobile device in a proximity of the user receiving device;
an output circuit generating a profile window on a display associated with the user receiving device, said profile window comprising a plurality of settings for a plurality of profiles, each of the plurality of profiles comprising a profile identifier, at least one profile identifier assigned to a plurality of mobile devices, each profile comprising a security level that corresponds to channels permitted to be displayed by each mobile device, a permitted on time, and a playlist of saved videos and, said plurality of profiles comprising a first profile corresponding to the first mobile device and a second mobile device;
an interruption circuit configured to, based on the detection of the first mobile device or the second mobile device and the first profile, generate an interrupt signal to interrupt a program or video being played out on a display and generate a resume message on the display that provides instructions to resume playing of the program or video over the program or video while the interrupt signal is present; and
a control circuit configured to receive an input signal from a remote control device or a second mobile device,wherein the interruption circuit is configured to, based on the input signal, no longer generate the interrupt signal or generate a resume signal, andwherein the control circuit is configured to, if the interrupt signal is no longer generated or based on the resume signal, resume playing the program or video on the display.

Abstract
A user receiving device including a proximity module, a mode module, a profile module and an output module. The proximity module is configured to detect a first mobile device in a proximity of the user receiving device. The mode module is configured to transition the user receiving device to an active mode based on the detection of the first mobile device. The profile module is configured to, subsequent to transitioning to the active mode and based on an identifier of the first mobile device, access a first profile allocated to the first mobile device or a user of the first mobile device. The output module, based on the first profile, is configured to display on a display a guide or content.

10. A mobile device comprising:
-
a proximity circuit configured to detect a user receiving device; a mode circuit configured to transition the mobile device to an active mode based on the detection of the user receiving device; a profile circuit configured to transmit a first profile to the user receiving device subsequent to transition to the active mode, said first profile comprises a security level corresponding to channels permitted to be displayed by the mobile device, a permitted on time and a playlist of saved videos; and a control circuit configured to select a program, transmit a selection signal to the user receiving device indicating the selected program, and based on the selected program, receive and display an interaction option signal from the user receiving device, wherein the interaction option signal indicates that the mobile device is configured to interact with the selected program via the mobile device by displaying an interaction option message on a display associated with the mobile device based on the first profile; wherein the mobile device communicates a response signal to the user receiving device in response to the interaction option signal, said response signal allowing interaction between the user receiving device and the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
detecting a first mobile device in a proximity of a user receiving device; generating a profile window on a display associated with the user receiving device, said profile window comprising a plurality of settings for a plurality of profiles, each of the plurality of profiles comprising a profile identifier, at least one profile identifier assigned to a plurality of mobile devices, each profile comprising a security level that corresponds to channels permitted to be displayed by each mobile device, a permitted on time, a playlist of recorded videos and a preferred channel list, said plurality of profiles comprising a first profile corresponding to the first mobile device, and a second mobile device; based on the detection of the first mobile device or the second mobile device and the first profile, generating an interrupt signal to interrupt a program or video being played out on a display and generating a resume message over the display that provides instructions to resume playing of the program or video after the program or video while the interrupt signal is present; receiving an input signal from a remote control device or the second mobile device; based on the input signal, ceasing to generate the interrupt signal or generating a resume signal; and if the interrupt signal is no longer generated or based on the resume signal, resuming playing of the program or video on the display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
