A content consumption system or device may implement device-enabled identification for automated user detection. An identifying device may be detected at a content consumption device as within proximity of the content consumption device. An identifying device may be a mobile or wearable computing device, in various embodiments. A user account associated with the identification device may be selected for accessing content at the content consumption device. Access to content may be provided according to the selected user account. In some embodiments, content recommendations or content filtering may be performed based on the automatically determined user account.

Device-based identification for automated user detection

A network-based enterprise or other system that makes items available for selection to users may implement group profiles for group item recommendations. A request for item recommendations offered via the network-based enterprise may be received. Multiple user accounts of the network-based enterprise may be detected as associated with the request. A group profile that includes the detected user accounts may be identified. Group profiles may maintain behavioral data for the respective user accounts included in the group profiles, as well as behavioral data for the group profile as a whole. Item recommendations may be generated according to the group profile and provided to the detected users. Group profiles may available across multiple systems and devices so that item recommendations based on a group profile may be provided to different systems.
