Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatus, systems (e.g., a gateway device) and/or methods are described for providing an anti-distraction mode to control a plurality of connected devices in an establishment. In the gateway device, a list of connected devices that are connected to the gateway device is determined by the gateway device in response to anti-distraction mode being activated in the gateway device. Each connected device comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with the gateway device. A policy is stored at the gateway device for all of the connected devices when a triggering condition occurs, and activation of anti-distraction mode is received in the gateway device. In response to the anti-distraction mode being activated in the gateway device and in response to the gateway device detecting that the triggering condition occurs, the gateway device reduces features or outputs of at least one of the connected devices.

Abstract: A method includes monitoring, by a gateway device comprising a processor, connected devices that are connected to the gateway device, wherein each connected device comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with the gateway device; determining, by the gateway device, whether a first connected device of the connected devices increases an audio level in a target location greater than a predefined threshold; and in response to the gateway device determining that the first connected device audio level at the target location is greater than the predefined threshold, the gateway device reduces audio of the first connected device.
