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

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) causing a content-presentation device to output for presentation reference visual content; (ii) causing a lighting device to emit light in accordance with a lighting parameter, wherein initially the light emitted in accordance with the lighting parameter does not correspond to the reference visual content; (iii) receiving first input indicating an adjustment to the lighting parameter; (iv) responsive to receiving the first input, causing the lighting device to adjust the lighting parameter, thereby causing the lighting device to adjust the emitted light; (v) receiving second input indicating that the adjusted emitted light corresponds to the reference visual content; and (vi) responsive to receiving the second input, calibrating the lighting device at least by (i) causing storage of the adjusted lighting parameter and (ii) causing the lighting device to be configured to emit light in accordance with the stored lighting parameter.
