Automatic adjustment of devices in a home entertainment system
A computer may be configured to identify, using data received wirelessly from an identification device associated with a home entertainment system, a user of an entertainment session. The computer may retrieve a user profile that includes set physical positioning, physical orientation, and viewing information of a primary display device and a secondary display device. The computer may wirelessly control adjustment of a physical position of the primary and secondary display devices in association with the user profile.
1. A method performed by a computer, the method comprising:
identifying, by the computer in association with data received wirelessly from an identification device associated with a home entertainment system, a user of an entertainment session;
retrieving, by the computer from memory, a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes height, physical orientation, and viewing information of a primary display device and a secondary display device;
causing the secondary display device to display content supplemental to main content displayed on the primary display device; and
controlling, wirelessly by the computer, adjustment of a physical position of the primary and secondary display devices in association with the user profile.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user profile further includes configuration information related to a previous entertainment session associated with the user.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the adjustment of the physical position is made based on the configuration information.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
controlling, by the computer in response to identifying the user, access to the primary display device of the home entertainment system based on a set of rules customized by an authorized user.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the set of rules includes any one of a time of day or a program rating.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the configuration information includes an orientation of the primary and secondary display devices.
7. A method performed by a computer, the method comprising:
receiving, by the computer wirelessly from a home entertainment hub, data to adjust a position of a secondary display device in a home entertainment system and content supplemental to main content displayed on a primary display device, wherein the data is based on a user profile of a user identified via an identification device associated with the home entertainment system;
wherein the user profile includes height, physical orientation, and viewing information of a primary display device and a secondary display device; and
controlling, wirelessly by the computer, adjustment of a physical position of the primary and secondary display devices in association with the user profile.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the user profile further includes configuration information related to a previous entertainment session associated with the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the adjustment of the physical position is made based on the configuration information.
10. The method of claim 7 further comprising:
controlling, by the computer in response to identifying the user, access to the primary display device of the home entertainment system based on a set of rules customized by an authorized user.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the set of rules includes any one of a time of day or a program rating.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information includes an orientation of the primary and secondary display devices.
13. The method of claim 7 further comprising:
receiving, wirelessly by the computer from the home entertainment hub, data to control access to the secondary display device based on a set of rules customized by an authorized user.
14. A computer characterized in that:
a processor is configured to identify, in association with data received wirelessly from an identification device associated with a home entertainment system, a user of an entertainment session;
the processor is further configured to retrieve, from memory, a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes height, physical orientation, and viewing information of a primary display device and a secondary display device;
wherein the computer is configured to cause the secondary display device to display content supplemental to main content displayed on the primary display device; and
the processor is further configured to wirelessly control adjustment of a physical position of the primary and secondary display devices in association with the user profile.
15. The computer of claim 14 , wherein the user profile further includes configuration information related to a previous entertainment session associated with the user.
16. The computer of claim 15 , wherein the adjustment of the physical position is made based on the configuration information.
17. The computer of claim 14 further comprising:
the process configured to control, in response to the identification of the user, access to the primary display device of the home entertainment system in part based on a set of rules customized by an authorized user.
18. The computer of claim 17 , wherein the set of rules includes any one of a time of day or program rating.
19. The computer of claim 15 , wherein the configuration information includes an orientation of the primary and secondary display devices.
