The present invention relates to a system and a device for automatically detecting certain behaviours of an occupant or occupants of a particular designated space, usually within the home environment, and to perform action depending on the detected behaviour. The behaviours may be detected using sensors associated with standard electronic equipment available in most homes, like media content receivers for example. According to one embodiment of the invention a set-top box comprises a sensor to monitor the viewer and to analyse the viewer's behaviour in order to estimate when the viewer loses interest in the content. The set-top box further comprises a time shift buffer for buffering the received content and a mark inserter module which is configured to place a mark in the content within the time-shift buffer at places where the viewer is deemed to have lost concentration, thereby allowing for the viewer to conveniently replay the content from where he lost interest. According to another embodiment, there is provided a system comprising a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of appliances or electronic devices within the household. The system is configured to take appropriate actions depending on how the information received from the sensor or network of sensors is interpreted. |
