Abstract
A system includes a processor to initiate a timer in response to an action-execution command. The processor identifies expiration of the timer. In response to expiration of the timer, the processor transmits one or more commands to one or more controllable output devices to simultaneously ramp down the sound volume and gradually dim the display brightness generated by said one or more controllable audiovisual output devices over a predetermined ramp-down period of time.
