1. A system, comprising:
- one or more servers comprising one or more processors and memory;
an interface of the one or more servers to receive an audio-based input detected by a microphone of a remote computing device;
a feature recognition engine of the one or more servers to generate an audio fingerprint based on the audio-based input;
the interface to receive an input from a second computing device different from and associated with the remote computing device;
an authentication engine of the one or more servers to;
determine, based on the audio fingerprint, a probability level that the audio-based input is from a registered user of the remote computing device having a profile stored on the one or more servers;
increase, responsive to the input received from the second computing device different from and associated with the remote computing device, the probability level determined based on the audio fingerprint;
identify, responsive to the probability level increased by the input received from the second computing device and being above a predetermined threshold, an action identified within the audio-based input, the action corresponding to a request by the registered user to activate or control a feature of the remote computing device;
select a content item based on the action identified within the audio-based input and the profile of the registered user; and
transmit, to the remote computing device via the interface, the content item to cause the remote computing device to present the content item via an output interface of the remote computing device.

Abstract
A method, executed by a processor, is used to determine presence of a viewer at a media device. The method includes receiving viewer biometric data captured by a biometric capture device associated with the media device; determining a category of the viewer based on the captured viewer biometric data; comparing the captured viewer biometric data to a reference to determine a possible identity of the viewer, by: determining a presence probability for the viewer based on a match between the biometric data and the reference, and determining a confidence level for the probability; and when the probability and confidence level equal or exceed a threshold, determining the viewer is present at the media device.

11. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more servers, an audio-based input detected by a microphone of a computing device remote from the one or more servers; generating, by a feature recognition engine of the one or more servers, an audio fingerprint based on the audio-based input; determining, by an authentication engine of the one or more servers, based on the audio fingerprint, a probability level that the audio-based input is from a registered user of the computing device having a profile stored on the one or more servers; receiving, by the authentication engine, input from a second computing device different from and associated with the computing device; increasing, by the authentication engine responsive to the input received from the second computing device different from and associated with the remote computing device, the probability level determined based on the audio fingerprint; identifying, by the authentication engine and responsive to the probability level increased by the input received from the second computing device and being above a predetermined threshold, an action identified within the audio-based input, the action corresponding to a request by the registered user to activate or control a feature of the computing device; selecting, by the authentication engine, a content item based on the action identified within the audio-based input and the profile of the registered user; and transmitting, from the one or more servers to the computing device, the content item to cause the computing device to present the content item via an output interface of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
