Abstract
User occupancy is monitored within a space in which a video display of a content rendering system is viewable. The user occupancy can be monitored based on physical user attributes. At least one of audio rendering and video rendering by the content rendering system is adjusted based on the monitored user occupancy.

12. A method, comprising:
-
monitoring, based on user motion, user occupancy within a space in which a display of a content rendering system is viewable; and based on the monitored user occupancy, reducing a power consumption of the content rendering system while maintaining rendering of at least a portion of content during the reduced power consumption. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a content rendering device rendering audio and video portions of multimedia content; an occupancy sensor configured to detect user presence and user absence within a space in which the rendered video is viewable based on motion within the space; and a controller configured to adjust the content rendering system based on the user presence and the user absence, the controller adjusting the content rendering system to operate in a reduced power consumption mode in which power consumption is reduced while at least a portion of the multimedia content is rendered. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system configured to:
-
detect, based on motion in a space in which a person can view a video display, whether a person is present in a space, and if the person is not present, turn off at least a rendering of video by the video display while maintaining a rendering of audio correlated with the video. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)

25. A computer readable medium storing a computer program product, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to:
-
monitor, based on user motion, user occupancy within a space in which a display of a content rendering system is viewable; and based on the monitored user occupancy, cause the content rendering system to operate in a reduced power consumption mode in which power consumption is reduced while at least a portion of content is rendered.

26. An integrated audio and video rendering device, comprising:
-
a video rendering module configured to render a video portion of multimedia content; an audio rendering module configured to render an audio portion of the multimedia content and operable as a standalone audio reproduction device; and a controller configured to operate the integrated audio and video rendering device in a reduced power consumption mode in which the video rendering module is disabled and the audio rendering module operates as the standalone audio reproduction device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
