Embodiments relate generally to electronics, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, wearable, hand held, and portable computing devices for facilitating wireless communication of information. Systems such as RF, A/V or proximity detection in at least one wireless media device may be configured to detect presence of a user(s) or wireless user devices, and may generate an acoustic environment that may persist for a time operative to render the sounds so generated imperceptible on a conscious level to the user(s). Upon terminating/altering the sounds, the user(s) may become consciously aware of the absence/change in the sounds and may take or refrain from some prescribed action. Hardware and/or software systems in one or more of the wireless media devices may execute an Awareness User Interface (AUI) configured to interact with the user(s) using verbal, audio, acoustic, visual, physical, image-based, gesture-based, tactile, haptic, or proximity-based inputs and/or outputs. |

1. A method for acoustic environment and user interface, comprising:
searching for presence of a user, a wireless user device or both, in an environment, using one or more systems of a wireless media device; determining, based on one or more signals from the one or more systems, if presence has been detected; identifying the user, the wireless user device or both if presence was detected during the determining; establishing a wireless link between the wireless media device and the wireless user device; harvesting content for an awareness user interface (AUI) from the wireless user device using the wireless link; generating, using the wireless media device, an acoustic environment (AE) in the environment using the content that was harvested; detecting a status change based on the content that was harvested; generating cues in the acoustic environment configured to make the user aware of the status change; searching the environment for a change in user behavior indicative of awareness of the status change during the generating; and terminating the generating if the user behavior indicates awareness of the status change. |
