Claim 0:
1. A method to control delivery of serial content based on human interaction with a handheld device, comprising:
providing the handheld device operated by a human that includes a device processor, a device speaker operatively coupled to the device processor, a device inertial measurement unit operatively coupled to the device processor, and a device communication module operatively coupled to the device processor,
wherein the device communication module controls delivery of the serial content to a content delivery device that is one or both of viewable and audible by the human;
initiating, by one of the device communication module and a content delivery device processor of the content delivery device, the delivery of the serial content to the content delivery device;
determining, by one or both of the device processor and the content delivery device processor, one or more serial content contexts based on one or both of concurrent serial content concurrent with the delivery of the serial content to the human and ensuing serial content available for delivery to the human after the concurrent serial content;
broadcasting, by the device speaker, one or more interaction sounds related to the one or more serial content contexts;
acquiring, by the device inertial measurement unit, human interaction data;
determining, by the device processor, that the human interaction data include one or more human reactions to the one or more interaction sounds; and
generating, by the device communication module, one or more instructions to control the delivery of the serial content based on the one or more human reactions,
wherein the one or more instructions to control delivery of the serial content comprise one of delivering a previous portion of the serial content already delivered to the human, continuing delivery of the serial content after the pausing of the delivery of the serial content to the human, and delivering a future portion of the serial to the human content by not delivering a skipped portion of the serial content after the pausing of the serial content.
