Abstract: A user receiving device includes a proximity circuit configured to repeatedly detect a proximity of a first mobile device relative to the user receiving device. An interruption circuit is configured to, based on the detection of a first mobile device, generate an interrupt signal to interrupt a program or a video being played out on a display when the proximity is less than a predetermined range and ceasing to generate the interrupt signal when the proximity is greater than the predetermined range. A control circuit is configured to, when the interrupt signal is no longer generated, resume playing the program or video on the display.

Abstract: A user receiving device including a proximity module, a mode module, a profile module and an output module. The proximity module is configured to detect a first mobile device in a proximity of the user receiving device. The mode module is configured to transition the user receiving device to an active mode based on the detection of the first mobile device. The profile module is configured to, subsequent to transitioning to the active mode and based on an identifier of the first mobile device, access a first profile allocated to the first mobile device or a user of the first mobile device. The output module, based on the first profile, is configured to display on a display a guide or content.
