Method and system for detecting a user device in an environment associated with a content presentation system presenting content

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of operations comprising:

identifying content displayed by a content presentation system associated with a physical environment;

detecting a user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system;

determining that the user device is actively being used by a user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system, wherein determining that the user device is actively being used by the user comprises: detecting that data transmissions to or from the user device is above a threshold value;

responsive to (a) detecting the user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system displaying the content and (b) determining that the user device is actively being used by the user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system:

storing an identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with a profile related to the user device.

2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein storing the identifier in association with the profile is used to record that a user, associated with the user device, viewed the content.

3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the user device is a television, wherein the content comprises television programming, and wherein the operations further comprise transmitting a web page advertisement to a second user device associated with a same user as said user device.

4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the identifier with a level of interest, in the content, of a user associated with the user device.

5. The medium of claim 4 , wherein the level of interest is determined based on one or more of:

an interaction with the content presentation system to forward, pause, rewind, or replay the content;

a change in audio volume during the display of the content by the content presentation system;

a change in a location of the user device.

6. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting information, associated with the content, to a second user device associated with a same user as said user device.

7. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting information, associated with the content, to the user device, and wherein the information comprises an advertisement associated with the content.

8. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting information, associated with the content, to the user device, and wherein the content comprises media content, and wherein the information comprises a name of the media content and/or a person associated with the media content.

9. The medium of claim 1 , wherein detecting the user device within the physical environment comprises detecting a Bluetooth signal from the user device using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter.

10. The medium of claim 1 , wherein detecting the user device further comprises detecting the user device within a physical distance from the content presentation system.

11. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise storing the identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with the profile related to the user device.

12. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise transmitting information, associated with the content, to the user device.

13. The medium of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user device is actively being used by the user comprises both (a) detecting that data transmissions to or from the user device is above the threshold value and (b) detecting a movement of the user device from a first location within the physical environment to a second location within the physical environment.

14. A method comprising:

identifying content displayed by a content presentation system associated with a physical environment;

detecting a user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system;

determining that the user device is actively being used by a user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system, wherein determining that the user device is actively being used by the user comprises: detecting that data transmissions to or from the user device is above a threshold value;

responsive to (a) detecting the user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system displaying the content and (b) determining that the user device is actively being used by the user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system:

storing an identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with a profile related to the user device;

wherein the method is performed by at least one device including a hardware processor.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein storing the identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with the profile related to the user device is used to record that a user, associated with the user device, viewed the content.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the method comprises transmitting information, associated with the content, to the user device.

17. A system comprising:

at least one device including a hardware processor;

wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising:

identifying content displayed by a content presentation system associated with a physical environment;

detecting a user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system;

determining that the user device is actively being used by a user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system, wherein determining that the user device is actively being used by the user comprises: detecting that data transmissions to or from the user device is above a threshold value;

responsive to (a) detecting the user device within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system displaying the content and (b) determining that the user device is actively being used by the user when the content is displayed by the content presentation system:

storing an identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with a profile related to the user device.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein storing the identifier, corresponding to the content, in association with the profile related to the user device is used to record that a user, associated with the user device, viewed the content.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the operations comprise transmitting information, associated with the content, to the user device.
