8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the command that controls playing the first content, after the second user entering the proximity of the media device, comprises receiving the command that controls playing the first content within a threshold time period of the second user entering the proximity of the media device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the second user entering the proximity of the media device playing the first content comprises one or more of determining a location of a mobile device associated with the respective user, performing a camera scan using facial recognition, listening to a voice using voice recognition.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprises:

detecting an additional user entering the proximity of the media device;

identifying the command that controls playing the first content performed by the first user in response to the additional user entering the proximity of the media device; and

in response to the identifying the command that controls the playing the first content after the additional user enters the proximity of the media device, modifying a stored relationship status that tracks the relationship between the first user, the second user and the additional user.

11. A system comprising

detection circuitry configured to:

detect a first user in the proximity of a media device playing a first content;

detect a second user entering the proximity of the media device playing the first content;

control circuitry configured to:

receive, via the control circuitry, a command that controls playing the first content, after the second user entering the proximity of the media device;

in response to the received command that controls the playing the first content after the second user enters the proximity of the media device, modify, via the control circuitry, a stored relationship status that tracks a relationship between the first user and the second user;

detect, with the detection circuitry, the first user and the second user in the proximity of the media device playing a second content;

in response to the detecting the first user and the second user in the proximity of the media device playing the second content, perform automatically, via the control circuitry, an action that controls the playing of the second content, wherein the action is selected based on the stored relationship status that tracks the relationship between the first user and the second user;

determine a third user with a similar relationship with the first user as the second user entering the proximity of the media device playing the first content;

identify a pattern in the stored relationship status between the first user and the second user based on the receiving the command that controls playing the first content between the first user and the second user;
