A method comprising: receiving, by a server (104, 106) from a smartphone, a user-interaction parameter, wherein the smartphone is accessible by a user, the smartphone is distinct from the server (104, 106), the user-interaction parameter is dependent on the user's interaction with a user interface of the smartphone; and sending, by the server (104, 106) to a second media consumption device (112, 114, 116), a message, the message based, at least in part, on the received user-interaction parameter; wherein the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is accessible by the same user, the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is distinct from the server (104, 106), and the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is distinct from the smartphone; wherein, when the user-interaction parameter indicates a relatively high level of user interaction with the user interface of the smartphone, the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to enable a keyboard input and a display output on the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116); and wherein, when the user-interaction parameter indicates a relatively low level of user interaction with the user interface of the smartphone, the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to enable a sensor input on the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116), wherein the sensor is selected from the group consisting of: a touch sensor, a microphone, a motion sensor, a camera, and a position sensor, and the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to disable the keyboard input. receiving, by a server (104, 106) from a smartphone, a user-interaction parameter, wherein the smartphone is accessible by a user, the smartphone is distinct from the server (104, 106), the user-interaction parameter is dependent on the user's interaction with a user interface of the smartphone; and sending, by the server (104, 106) to a second media consumption device (112, 114, 116), a message, the message based, at least in part, on the received user-interaction parameter; wherein the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is accessible by the same user, the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is distinct from the server (104, 106), and the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) is distinct from the smartphone; wherein, when the user-interaction parameter indicates a relatively high level of user interaction with the user interface of the smartphone, the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to enable a keyboard input and a display output on the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116); and wherein, when the user-interaction parameter indicates a relatively low level of user interaction with the user interface of the smartphone, the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to enable a sensor input on the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116), wherein the sensor is selected from the group consisting of: a touch sensor, a microphone, a motion sensor, a camera, and a position sensor, and the message directs the second media consumption device (112, 114, 116) to disable the keyboard input.
