Assignee: KIBEAM LEARNING, INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A handheld device to control delivery of serial content, comprising:
a device body configured to be held by a hand of a human;
electronic circuitry within the device body that includes a device processor;
at least one inertial measurement unit within the device body operatively coupled to the device processor;
a device communication module operatively coupled to the device processor configured to control delivery of the serial content to a content delivery device that is one or both of viewable and audible by the human; and
a device speaker operatively coupled to the device processor,
wherein the device processor is configured to:
transmit, using the device communication module, one or more first instructions to the content delivery device to initiate the delivery of the serial content;
determine, using the device communication module, 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;
play one or more interaction sounds related to the one or more serial content contexts on the device speaker;
acquire human interaction data from the device inertial measurement unit;
determine that the human interaction data include one or more human reactions to the one or more interaction sounds; and
transmit, using the device communication module, one or more second instructions to control the delivery of the serial content based on the one or more human reactions,
wherein the one or more second 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.
