The Intelligent TV

Here are some of my idea for the intelligent TV. This TV could:

  • Turn down or mute the volume when a commercial comes on.
  • Turn itself off when there is no-one in the room. It could do this by reading heat signatures in the room. There could be a time delay before it turns itself off.
  • Mute/turn down the volume/turn itself off if all the viewers fall asleep. You don't want this action happening if someone is still watching the TV. Again a time delay could be set.
  • Mute itself if a phone rings in front of the TV and you pick up the receiver. The trick is having the TV unmute when you hang up or if you don't pick up the receiver.
All functions above can be toggled.
