SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A PRIVATE VIEWING EXPERIENCE
First Claim
1. A method for providing a private viewing experience, the method comprising:
- detecting that a first user is present at a media device that is presenting a first media content;
detecting that a second user is outside a viewing area of the media device;
determining a likelihood value related to a likelihood that the second user will enter the viewing area of the media device during a time period in the future; and
generating, based on the likelihood value, a first indication presented to the first user at the media device indicating that the second user is likely to enter the viewing area of the media device during the time period in the future.

Abstract
System and methods are presented for providing a user with a private viewing experience. In some embodiments, a private viewing system detects that the user is present at a media device that is displaying media content to the user, and then detects that a second user is outside of the viewing area of the media device. The private viewing system then determines a likelihood value related to the likelihood that the second user will enter the viewing area of the media device during a time period in the future. A first indication is then generated, based on the determined likelihood value, and presented to the user at the media device indicating that the second user is likely to enter the viewing area of the media device during the time period in the future.
