Methods, systems, and media for ambient background noise modification based on mood and/or behavior information
First Claim
1. A method for ambient background noise modification, comprising:
- identifying at least one noise present in an environment of a user having a user device;
identifying media content being viewed by the user based on the at least one noise;
determining a target ambient noise to be produced in the environment based on an entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user, wherein the target ambient noise is selected to complement the media content being viewed by the user and is selected to correspond to a sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user;
identifying a plurality of devices that are associated with the user device over a local communications network, that are nearby the user device, and that are capable of producing the target ambient noise including the sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user;
determining sound outputs corresponding to each of the plurality of identified devices, wherein a combination of the sound outputs produces an approximation of one or more characteristics of the target ambient noise; and
causing the plurality of identified devices to produce the determined sound outputs in connection with presentation of the media content.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for ambient background noise modification are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: identifying at least one noise present in an environment of a user having a user device, an activity the user is currently engaged in, and a physical or emotional state of the user; determining a target ambient noise to be produced in the environment based at least in part on the identified noise, the activity the user is currently engaged in, and the physical or emotional state of the user; identifying at least one device associated with the user device to be used to produce the target ambient noise; determining sound outputs corresponding to each of the one or more identified devices, wherein a combination of the sound outputs produces an approximation of one or more characteristics of the target ambient noise; and causing the one or more identified devices to produce the determined sound outputs.

6. A system for ambient background noise modification, the system comprising:
a hardware processor that is programmed to; identify at least one noise present in an environment of a user having a user device; identify media content being viewed by the user based on the at least one noise; determine a target ambient noise to be produced in the environment based on an entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user, wherein the target ambient noise is selected to complement the media content being viewed by the user and is selected to correspond to a sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user; identify a plurality of devices that are associated with the user device over a local communications network, that are nearby the user device, and that are capable of producing the target ambient noise including the sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user; determine sound outputs corresponding to each of the plurality of identified devices, wherein a combination of the sound outputs produces an approximation of one or more characteristics of the target ambient noise; and cause the plurality of identified devices to produce the determined sound outputs in connection with presentation of the media content. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for ambient background noise modification, comprising:
-
identifying at least one noise present in an environment of a user having a user device; identifying media content being viewed by the user based on the at least one noise; determining a target ambient noise to be produced in the environment based on an entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user, wherein the target ambient noise is selected to complement the media content being viewed by the user and is selected to correspond to a sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user; identifying a plurality of devices that are associated with the user device over a local communications network, that are nearby the user device, and that are capable of producing the target ambient noise including the sound associated with the entity appearing in the media content being viewed by the user; determining sound outputs corresponding to each of the plurality of identified devices, wherein a combination of the sound outputs produces an approximation of one or more characteristics of the target ambient noise; and causing the plurality of identified devices to produce the determined sound outputs in connection with presentation of the media content. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
