Patent ID: 8791787

Claim:
A method of providing user-feedback regarding automated profile selection without obstructing a display area of a display device, comprising: the display device automatically determining that multiple persons are proximate to the display device; automatically determining, via an identity profile controller: an identity of each of the multiple persons proximate to the display device; and whether configured individual viewing profiles exist for at least two of the multiple persons proximate to the display device, where each person is identified individually by a corresponding configured individual viewing profile; where at least one of the configured individual viewing profiles includes a user configured restriction level corresponding to the at least one configured viewing profile, where the restriction level limits content that can be displayed on the display device when the person corresponding to the configured individual viewing profile is proximate to the display device; and upon determining that the configured individual viewing profile exists for at least two of the multiple persons: determining whether a configured aggregate viewing profile, including a restriction level, exists for the at least two of the multiple persons: instructing a bezel display controller to display a profile identifier associated with the configured aggregate viewing profile via a two-dimensional light emitting diode (LED) array located within a bezel of the display device outside of the display area of the display; and automatically adjusting a display device setting that controls operational behavior of the display device based upon the configured aggregate viewing profile.
