Systems and methods for displaying multiple media assets for a plurality of users
Systems and methods for delivering multiple media assets for a plurality of users are disclosed herein. A plurality of users proximate to a display device may detected and split into groups based on preference for a specific media asset. Media assets may be generated on a display device in a layout based on the number of users in each group. When a new user enters the proximity of the display device the group membership may be recalculated and based on the new group memberships the display layout may be updated.
1. A method comprising:
detecting a plurality of users within a threshold distance of a display device;
categorizing the plurality of users into a first group or a second group;
displaying, on the display device, a first layout for a first content item for the first group of users and a second layout for a second content item for the second group of users;
detecting a change in a number of users in either the first or the second group of users; and
in response to detecting the change:
modifying a size of the first layout and the second layout wherein the modified size matches a percentage of users that are currently in the first and the second group after the change in the number.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the change in the number of users in either the first or the second group of users comprises: determining a number of users in the first group and a second group; monitoring the number of users in the first and the second group; and determining whether users in either the first or the second group have a) left the group or b) newly added to the group.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, determining a change in users in response to determining that users in either the first or the second group have a) left the group or b) newly added to the group.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the monitoring is performed tracking an electronic device associated with a user from the plurality of users, wherein the electronic device includes a GPS.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the monitoring is performed based on facial recognition of the plurality of users.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the monitoring is performed continuously.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein categorizing the plurality of users into a first group or the second group is performed based on a user's preference in their profiles for a type of media asset.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: in response to detecting the change in the number of users, determining that a current number of users in the first group is larger than a current number of users in the second group; and increasing the first layout for the first content item for the first group such that it is larger in size compared to the second layout for the second content item for the second group.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: in response to detecting the change in the number of users, determining that a current number of users in the first group is smaller than a current number of users in the second group; and decreasing the first layout for the first content item for the first group such that it is smaller in size compared to the second layout for the second content item for the second group.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to detecting the change: adjusting an attribute of the first layout or the second layout based on a current number of users in the first and the second group.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the attribute is selected from a group consisting of volume, color, brightness, and layering of media assets.
12. A system, comprising:
communication circuitry configured to access a display device for displaying a first content and a second content; and
control circuitry configured to:
detect a plurality of users within a threshold distance of the display device;
categorize the plurality of users into a first group or a second group;
display, on the display device, a first layout for a first content item for the first group of users and a second layout for a second content item for the second group of users;
detect a change in a number of users in either the first or the second group of users; and
in response to detecting the change:
modify a size of the first layout and the second layout wherein the modified size matches a percentage of users that are currently in the first and the second group after the change in the number.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein detecting the change in the number of users in either the first or the second group of users comprises, the control circuitry configured to:
determine a number of users in the first group and a second group;
monitor the number of users in the first and the second group; and
determine whether users in either the first or the second group have a) left the group or b) newly added to the group.
14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to determine the change in users in response to determining that users in either the first or the second group have a) left the group or b) newly added to the group.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the monitoring is performed by the control circuitry by use of a camera or facial recognition of the of the plurality of users.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the monitoring is performed by the control circuitry by tracking an electronic device associated with a user from the plurality of users, wherein the electronic device includes a GPS.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the monitoring is performed by the control circuitry on a continuous basis.
18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to:
in response to detecting the change in the number of users, determine that a current number of users in the first group is larger than a current number of users in the second group; and
increase the first layout for the first content item for the first group such that it is larger in size compared to the second layout for the second content item for the second group.
19. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to:
in response to detecting the change in the number of users, determine that a current number of users in the first group is smaller than a current number of users in the second group; and
decrease the first layout for the first content item for the first group such that it is smaller in size compared to the second layout for the second content item for the second group.
20. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, in response to detecting the change:
the control circuitry configured to adjust an attribute of the first layout or the second layout based on a current number of users in the first and the second group, wherein the attribute is selected from a group consisting of volume, color, brightness, and layering of media assets.
