Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing and displaying a hierarchy of selectable data items.

Electronic information hierarchy

Methods and systems are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide an opening mechanism comprising an interior and an exterior door handle and sensors to detect movement of each door handle. A door position sensor may be provided. An alarm module for generating an alarm may be connected to at least one of the sensors. A method may include receiving a door handle actuation signal, determining whether the door handle actuation signal is from an inside door handle or an outside door handle and performing a function. One or more methods include determining an event, including an attempted entry, a forced entry and an incomplete entry.

Monitoring access

Aspects as described herein are directed to providing an enhanced user experience for consuming content on a computing device. Secondary computing devices, such as handheld smartphones and tablet-style computers, may be identified by a primary computing device, such as a set-top box. The secondary computing devices may be configured to receive actionable instructions from the primary computing device. An actionable event associated with content being outputted to a user via the primary computing device may be determined and an actionable instruction may be transmitted to the secondary computing device in response to the determined actionable event.

Methods for determining second screen content based on data events at primary content output device

Systems and methods for managing device controls are disclosed. One method can comprise determining an orientation of a controller and comparing the orientation of the controller and an activation orientation. If the orientation of the controller substantially matches the activation orientation, a control relationship between the controller and the user device may be automatically activated, and if the orientation of the controller does not substantially match the activation orientation, control options to a user of the controller.
