Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presence detection

1. A method comprising:

causing, by a first computing device, one or more speakers to emit an inaudible audio signal configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the first computing device, wherein the inaudible audio signal is received by a second computing device of the one or more other devices;

receiving, from the second computing device and based on the inaudible audio signal, an indication that the second computing device received the inaudible audio signal;

determining, by the first computing device and based on receiving the indication from the second computing device, a user associated with the second computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the first computing device;

determining, based on the user, at least one user preference associated with the second computing device; and

causing, based on the at least one user preference associated with the second computing device, an output of a content item to be modified.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first computing device comprises a set top box, a smart speaker, or an entertainment system.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first computing device via a control device, a first identifier associated with the first computing device; and

encoding the first identifier into the inaudible audio signal, wherein the first identifier comprises a media access control (“MAC”) address associated with the first computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the first computing device, a vacant acoustic spectrum proximate to the first computing device, wherein the inaudible audio signal comprises one or more frequencies within the vacant acoustic spectrum.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inaudible audio signal is emitted by the first computing device simultaneously with an audio signal of the content item.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by a control device, a first identifier to the first computing device, wherein the first identifier is associated with the first computing device; and

receiving, by the control device from the second computing device, a communication comprising the first identifier and a second identifier associated with the second computing device.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining, by the control device, that the first identifier and the second identifier are associated with a subscriber profile comprising a location identifier associated with a geographic location;

determining, by the control device based on the subscriber profile and the communication, that the second computing device is present at the geographic location; and

sending, by the control device based on the received communication and the subscriber profile, the indication to the first computing device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user preference is associated with a level of volume, a closed-captioning display, secondary content output, or ambient lighting.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first computing device, an inaudible audio signal, wherein the inaudible audio signal is sent by a second computing device and configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the second computing device; and

sending, to the second computing device and based on receiving the inaudible audio signal, an indication that the inaudible audio signal was detected, wherein the indication causes the second computing device to:

determine a user associated with the first computing device is proximate to a geographic location of the second computing device, and at least one user preference associated with the user associated with the first computing device; and

modify an output of a content item based on the at least one user preference associated with the user.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first computing device comprises a user device.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second computing device comprises a set top box, a smart speaker, or an entertainment system.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising sending, by the first computing device, the indication and an identifier associated with the first computing device to a control device.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining, by the control device, that the identifier associated with the first computing device is associated with a subscriber profile comprising a location identifier associated with a geographic location; and

determining, by the control device, based on the subscriber profile and the indication, that the first computing device is present at the geographic location.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

sending, by the control device, based on the subscriber profile, a command that causes the second computing device to modify the output of the content item.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one user preference is associated with a level of volume, a closed-captioning display, secondary content output, or ambient lighting.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein sending the indication that the inaudible audio signal was detected causes the second computing device to determine that the first computing device is at a geographic location associated with the second computing device.

17. A method comprising:

receiving, by a control device, data associated with a subscriber profile, wherein the subscriber profile is associated with a first computing device and comprises at least one user preference associated with an output of content;

receiving, by the control device and from the first computing device, an indication that the first computing device detected an inaudible audio signal, wherein the inaudible audio signal is emitted by a second computing device and configured to determine one or more other devices proximate to the second computing device; and

sending, based on the indication, to the second computing device, a command that causes the second computing device to modify the output of a content item based on the at least one user preference associated with the first computing device.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the second computing device comprises a set top box, a smart speaker, or an entertainment system.

19. The method of claim 17 , further comprising determining, based on the indication, that the first computing device is at a geographic location associated with the second computing device, wherein the geographic location comprises an address.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising causing, by the first computing device, output of the inaudible audio signal simultaneously with an audio signal of the content item.

21. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

receiving, by the second computing device from the control device, the command, wherein the command comprises an indication that the first computing device is proximate to the second computing device and the at least one user preference.

22. The method of claim 21 , further comprising:

causing, by the second computing device, based on the at least one user preference, the output of the content item to be modified.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one user preference is associated with a level of volume, a closed-captioning display, secondary content output, or ambient lighting.
