Systems and Methods for Facilitating Access to Content Associated with a Media Content Session Based on a Location of a User
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a content delivery system, that a user profile of a user is logged in to a first access device during a media content session associated with the first access device in which the first access device presents media content to the user;
detecting, by the content delivery system, that the user moves outside a vicinity of the first access device while the user profile is logged in to the first access device during the media content session;
identifying, by the content delivery system in response to the user moving outside the vicinity of the first access device, a second access device associated with the user and that is within a vicinity of the user; and
automatically providing, by the content delivery system in response to the identifying, session management content corresponding to the media content session associated with the first access device for presentation by the second access device while the user is outside the vicinity of the first access device.

17. A method comprising:
-
determining, by a set-top box device, that a user profile of a user is logged in to the set-top box device during a media content session associated with the set-top box device in which the set-top box device presents media content to the user; detecting, by the set-top box device, that the user moves outside a vicinity of the set-top box device while the user profile of the user is logged in to the set-top box device during the media content session; providing, by the set-top box device in response to the user moving outside the vicinity of the set-top box device, a command instructing a media content provider system separate from the set-top box device to automatically provide session management content corresponding to the media content session associated with the set-top box device to an access device associated with the user and that is within a vicinity of the user while the user is outside the vicinity of the set-top box device; and preventing, by the set-top box device while the user is outside the vicinity of the set-top box device, the session management content corresponding to the media content session from being presented by way of the set-top box device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
at least one computing device that determines that a user profile of a user is logged in to a first access device during a media content session associated with the first access device in which the first access device presents media content to the user, detects that the user moves outside a vicinity of the first access device while the user profile is logged in to the first access device during the media content session, identifies, in response to the user moving outside the vicinity of the first access device, a second access device associated with the user and that is within a vicinity of the user, and automatically provides, in response to the identifying, session management content corresponding to the media content session associated with the first access device for presentation by the second access device while the user is outside the vicinity of the first access device.
