SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING AUDIO/VIDEO CONTENT FOR PRESENTATION TO A USER IN RESPONSE TO MONITORED USER ACTIVITY
First Claim
1. A method of presenting audio/video content to a user, the method comprising:
- monitoring, with a set-top box device, a physical activity level of the user;
determining a probable activity type based upon the monitored physical activity level;
selecting, with the set-top box device, particular audio/video content that is correlated to the probable activity type; and
providing the particular audio/video content to a presentation device.

Abstract
A system for providing audio/video content to a user is disclosed. The system includes a set-top box device configured to provide audio/video content to a presentation device, and at least one sensor communicatively coupled to the set-top box device, the at least one sensor configured to provide sensor data to the set-top box device. The system also includes a sensor data processing module configured to process the sensor data to determine a probable activity type for the user, and a controller coupled to the sensor data processing module. The controller is configured to select particular audio/video content for playback at the presentation device, where the particular audio/video content is influenced by the probable activity type. Related operating methods are also provided.

11. A method of controlling presentation of content to a user, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, at a set-top box device, sensor data that is indicative of physical activity of the user; processing the sensor data to determine a probable activity type for the user; identifying a category of audio/video content that is correlated to the probable activity type; and selecting, for playback at a presentation device, particular audio/video content that is included in the category. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
