A method includes detecting, at an electronic device (ED) providing a virtual assistant (VA), an input that triggers the VA to perform a task that comprises outputting media content through an output device associated with the ED. The method includes detecting a presence of at least one registered user in proximity to the ED. Each registered user is associated with a corresponding media preferences profile. The method includes, for each detected registered user, determining whether the detected registered user is an active consumer. The method includes, in response to determining that a detected registered user is an active consumer, outputting, via the output device, media content associated with the media preferences profile of the detected registered user.

Context based media selection based on preferences setting for active consumer(s)

A method includes detecting an input that triggers a virtual assistance (VA) on an electronic downdevice (ED) to perform a task that includes outputting audio content through a speaker associated with the ED. The method includes identifying a type of the audio content to be outputted through the speaker. The method includes determining whether a registered user of the ED is present in proximity to the ED. Each registered user is associated with a unique user identifier. The method includes, in response to determining that no registered user is present in proximity to the ED, outputting the audio content via the speaker at a current volume level of the ED. The method includes in response to determining that a registered user is in proximity to the ED, outputting the audio content at a selected, preferred volume level based on pre-determined or pre-established volume preference settings of the registered user.

Context based volume adaptation by voice assistant devices

An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide audio adjustment. The electronic device receives an image captured by an image capturing device and identifies a face within the image. A controller of the electronic device determines an eye pointing direction normal to the face and relative to an orientation of the electronic device. The controller determines respective distances from first and the second audio output devices of the electronic device to at least one of a right and a left ear of the face based on the eye pointing direction. The controller adjusts respective acoustic output levels of the first and the second audio output devices to make an audio adjustment in relation to, and to compensate for a difference in, the respective distances from the first and the second audio output devices to the at least one of the right and the left ears of the face.
