Title: AUTOMATION AND RECOMMENDATION BASED ON DEVICE CONTROL PROTOCOLS
Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for automation and recommendation based on device control protocols. HDMI-CEC device control data may be received from a connected electronic device that may be connected to an electronic display device. The HDMI-CEC device control data may be based on a HDMI-CEC device control signal from the electronic display device. Signals may be received from sensor devices located in a same structure as the electronic display device. The HDMI-CEC device control data and signals from the sensor devices may be input to the machine learning system. The machine learning system may generate a control signal for a device. The control signal may be sent to the device to be implemented by the device.
