System and method for delivering media based on viewer behavior
First Claim
1. A method of reducing network resource consumption based on user behaviors, comprising:
- receiving, via a processor in a receiver device, an audio-video stream from a network server;
presenting audio and video content to a user via an electronic display and speakers coupled to the receiver device;
monitoring user activities to determine whether there is a change in user behavior;
determining an operating mode based on the user behavior in response to determining that there is the change in the user behavior;
generating and sending a notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server; and
receiving an altered stream from the network server in response to generating and sending the notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server, wherein the altered stream comprises only a closed caption data stream that is generated based on the presented audio and video content.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are provided for communicating multimedia content over a service provider network. A network server may receive an audio-video stream from a content provider server, relaying the audio-video stream to a receiver device via the service provider network, receive an operating mode notification identifying a user behavior from the receiver device, and ceasing the relaying of the audio-video stream to the receiver device based on the user behavior. The network server may also alter the audio-video stream based on the received operating mode notification and send the altered audio-video stream to the receiver device via the service provider network.

10. A receiver device, comprising:
-
an electronic display; a speaker; a processor coupled to the electronic display and the speaker, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable software instructions to; receive an audio-video stream from a network server; present audio and video content to a user via the electronic display and the speaker; monitor user activities to determine whether there is a change in user behavior; determine an operating mode based on the user behavior in response to determining that there is the change in the user behavior; generate and send a notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server; and receive an altered stream from the network server in response to generating and sending the notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server, wherein the altered stream comprises only a closed caption data stream that is generated based on the presented audio and video content. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor in a receiver device to perform operations for reducing network resource consumption based on user behaviors, the operations comprising:
-
receiving an audio-video stream from a network server; presenting audio and video content to a user via an electronic display and speakers coupled to the receiver device; monitoring user activities to determine whether there is a change in the user behavior; determining an operating mode based on the user behavior in response to determining that there is the change in the user behavior; generating and sending a notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server; and receiving an altered stream from the network server in response to generating and sending the notification message that identifies the determined operating mode to the network server, wherein the altered stream comprises only a closed caption data stream that is generated based on the presented audio and video content.
