Methods, systems, and media for projecting light to indicate a device status
Systems, methods, and media for projecting light to indicate a device status are provided. In accordance with some implementations of the disclosed subject matter, systems for projecting light to indicate a device status are provided, the systems comprising: a hardware processor that: determines a light status; determines whether to turn a light source on; selects a light format corresponding to the light status; projects light of a light source according to the light format; and determines whether to turn the light source off.
1. A media content streaming device for projecting light to indicate device status information, the system comprising:
a light source; and
a hardware processor that is programmed to:
determine a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
identify a direction that the light source having the light format is to be projected;
cause light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status; and
in response to receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device, determine whether the light of the light source is to be turned off based on the updated device status; and
in response to determining that the light of the light source is not to be turned off, cause the light of the light source to be projected in a second direction that is different from the identified direction.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the light status includes a light color, wherein the light color corresponds to the light status.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the light status includes a light pattern, wherein the light pattern corresponds to the light status.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to receive user configuration settings, wherein the light status is determined based on the user configuration settings.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine whether the light of the light source is to be turned on in response to determining the light status indicating the device status of the media content streaming device.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine whether the light of the light source is to be turned on based on a detection of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned off is based on determining whether the device status of the media content streaming device has changed.
8. A method for projecting light to indicate a device status of a media content streaming device, comprising:
determining a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
identifying a direction that the light source having the light format is to be projected;
causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status;
in response to receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device, determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned off based on the updated device status; and
in response to determining that the light of the light source is not to be turned off, causing the light of the light source to be projected in a second direction that is different from the identified direction.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the light status includes a light color, wherein the light color corresponds to the light status.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the light status includes a light pattern, wherein the light pattern corresponds to the light status.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving user configuration settings, wherein the light status is determined based on the user configuration settings.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned on in response to determining the light status indicating the device status of the media content streaming device.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned on based on a detection of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned off is based on determining whether the device status of the media content streaming device has changed.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for projecting light to indicate a device status of a media content streaming device, the method comprising:
determining a light status indicating a device status of the media content streaming device, wherein a light format corresponds to the light status;
identifying a direction that the light source having the light format is to be projected;
causing light of the light source having the light format to be projected in the identified direction according to the light status;
in response to receiving an updated device status of the media content streaming device, determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned off based on the updated device status; and
in response to determining that the light of the light source is not to be turned off, causing the light of the light source to be projected in a second direction that is different from the identified direction.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the light status includes a light color, wherein the light color corresponds to the light status.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the light status includes a light pattern, wherein the light pattern corresponds to the light status.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises receiving user configuration settings, wherein the light status is determined based on the user configuration settings.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned on in response to determining the light status indicating the device status of the media content streaming device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned on based on a detection of a user in proximity to the media content streaming device.
21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining whether the light of the light source is to be turned off is based on determining whether the device status of the media content streaming device has changed.
