Methods and systems for location specific operations
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- at least one audiovisual content input component;
at least one output component communicatively coupled with at least one display device;
one or more processors; and
memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to;
perform locating functions to locate one or more users of the electronic device, wherein at least one user of the one or more users is located based at least in part on an identified location of a controlling device, wherein the electronic device receives signal information to detect changing locations of the controlling device;
based at least in part on the locating functions;
detect a first location of the at least one user, and determine a first level of interaction for the at least one user;
detect a second location of the at least one user, and determine that the at least one user has moved from the first location to the second location, where the first location is more proximate to a display device than the second location is;
based at least in part on the second location, determine a second level of interaction for the at least one user, wherein the electronic device determines that the second level of interaction corresponds to a low level of interaction; and
perform at least one accommodation function based at least in part on the low level of interaction for the at least one user, the at least one accommodation function comprising automatically transmitting an interactive message to the controlling device, the interactive message comprising a request for response based on inactivity determined by the electronic device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for performing user accommodations are described. An exemplary system may include an electronic device configured to receive audiovisual content and/or user inputs. The electronic device may further include one or more processors as well as memory, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause them to perform one or more locating functions to locate one or more users of the electronic device, and determine a level of interaction for the one or more users based at least in part on the location. The one or more processors may further be caused to perform at least one accommodation function based at least in part on the determined level of interaction for the one or more users or location of the one or more users.

11. A method of accommodating a user of an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
performing locating functions to locate one or more users of the electronic device, the performing locating functions comprising; locating at least one user of the one or more users based at least in part on an identified location of a controlling device, and receiving signal information and detecting changing locations of the controlling device based at least in part on the signal information; based at least in part on the locating functions; detecting a first location of the at least one user, and determining a first level of interaction for the at least one user; detecting a second location of the at least one user, and determine that the at least one user has moved from the first location to the second location, where the first location is more proximate to a display device than the second location is; based at least in part on the second location, determining a second level of interaction for the at least one user, wherein the electronic device determines that the second level of interaction corresponds to a low level of interaction; and performing at least one accommodation function based at least in part on the low level of interaction for the at least one user, the at least one accommodation function comprising automatically transmitting an interactive message to the controlling device, the interactive message comprising a request for response based on inactivity determined by the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
