Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums are provided for determining the mood of the user, deriving an appropriate lighting scheme, and then implementing that lighting scheme on all devices within a predetermined proximity to that user. Furthermore, when a user begins a task, the devices can track the user and use lighting from nearby screens to offer functional lighting.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for producing sensory outputs correlated with relevant information are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: determining activity information associated with a user of a user device; determining an item of information related to the activity information; identifying a device associated with the user device with which to present an indication of the item of information; identifying a sensory modality and a sensory output corresponding to the sensory modality, wherein the sensory output is correlated to the item of information; transmitting instructions to the device that cause the device to produce the sensory output; storing information related to the user's actions after the sensory output was produced in association with the sensory output and the item of information; and determining whether to continue causing the sensory output to be produced based on the stored information.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for presenting advertisements related to displayed content upon detection of user attention are provided. In some implementations, a method for presenting information to a user is provided, the method comprising: detecting, using a hardware processor, presence of a user; causing content to be presented in response to detecting the presence of the user; detecting an eye-gaze direction of the user; detecting user attention to at least a portion of the content presented based on the eye-gaze direction of the user; and causing an advertisement related to the portion of the content to which user attention is detected to be presented by a device associated with the user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for presenting suggestions of media content are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: determining an item of media content; determining a probability of the item of media content being watched at one or more times based on at least one of: a characteristic of a person; a characteristic of a group; and a characteristic of the item of media content; creating a user interface which suggests that the item of media content be watched at one or more times based on the determined probability; and presenting the user interface.
Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods that facilitate identifying topic(s) from incoming data items from a plurality of data sources, identifying other data items that relate to the topic(s), identifying users that have an interest in the topic(s), identifying availability of the users, rating the topic(s), and presenting a filtered set of topics based upon the identifications and ratings.
