Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes using a Wi-Fi module of a computing device to detect that an end-user has exited a monitored environment of the computing device, where the monitored environment comprises an Internet of Things (IoT) device communicatively coupled to the computing device over an IoT network. The method also involves in response to detecting that the end-user has exited the monitored environment, triggering a first IoT action at the IoT device. The method also involves after detecting that the end-user has exited the monitored environment and triggering the first IoT action, using the Wi-Fi module of the computing device to detect that the end-user has reentered the monitored environment. The method also involves in response to detecting that the end-user has reentered the monitored environment, triggering a second IoT action at the IoT device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for modulating the quality of media content based on aggregate data usage. For example, a method may include: collecting usage data information from a plurality of locations; determining a data cap for each of the plurality of locations; training a machine learning model using the usage data information and the data cap; predicting, using the machine learning model, whether a location is going to exceed its associated data cap, the location being a new location or an existing one of the plurality of locations; and determining whether the modulate a quality of media content transmitted to the location based on the prediction.

Abstract: A streaming media device includes a printed circuit board hosting components configured to access internet data. An audio/visual connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted for connection to an audio/visual device, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted to operate with a first audio/visual interface having sufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board and a second audio/visual interface having insufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board. A power connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the power connector selectively receives power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing one of the first audio/visual interface and the second audio/visual interface.
