A method and system for evaluation of object motion repetitiveness as a basis to distinguish between human motion and non-human motion, in order to facilitate control of device operation. An example method includes (i) a computing system receiving sensor data representing object motion detected by at least one sensor, the object motion defining motion of an object, (ii) the computing system making a determination, based at least on an evaluation of the received sensor data, of whether the detected object motion is repetitive, and (iii) based at least on the determination being that the detected object motion is not repetitive, the computing system responding to the detected object motion by causing a device to take an action corresponding with a prediction that the object is a human being.

Machine-based classification of object motion as human or non-human as basis to facilitate controlling whether to trigger device action

System, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program embodiments are provided for determining a presentation configuration of content. An example method can include determining information about primary content displayed on a first display and an environment of the first display, the information including a display configuration of the primary content, a characteristic of the primary content, and/or an indication whether a user is present in the environment and/or the environment includes a second display coupled to a client or a different client that is coupled to the client; based on the information, determining a different display configuration for displaying the secondary content; and based on the different display configuration, generating an instruction to display the secondary content at the second display or on an ROI at the first display, the ROI excluding the primary content or including a portion of the primary content having a saliency below a threshold.

Intelligent and adjustable configuration and presentation of media content

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for automatically control parental settings based on audience detected. An example embodiment operates by detecting an audience within a vicinity of a media device based on identification information of the audience received by the media device, determining a category of the audience with a user identification system based on the identification information, identifying a parental control setting for the audience based on the category of the audience, determining a category of a content played by the media device, and applying the identified parental control setting to the media device based on the category of the content.
