Abstract: Methods and architecture for using sensor data to offer content, such as purchase or viewing suggestions, to a viewer, are disclosed. Wearable or other external sensor devices may monitor a viewer while the viewer consumes a first media element. The sensor data may then be used to determine an emotional response of the viewer to the media element or to entities found within that element, such as actors, scenes, brands, or objects. Emotional response data for a user may be stored, and may be used either immediately or at a later time to deliver content or make content or purchase suggestions to the viewer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for optimizing user content consuming experience by recognizing and classifying different sounds while a user views a program. The system may have or may access information related to the program audio being presented, enabling it to distinguish between conversations occurring in the program audio and conversations between users in the viewing environment. The system may turn the program volume down on one or more sound producing devices if it detects a conversation. The system may turn the program volume up if it detects an interrupting noise. The system may also adjust the program content based on locations of various objects within the listening or viewing environment, and types of users in the environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing access control. An example method may comprise receiving an address associated with a user device. An identifier may be determined based on the address. Based on the identifier, the user device may be determined to be associated with a trusted user. Based on the determination that the user device is associated with the trusted user, the user device may be granted access to a trusted network service.
