First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a visual display interface configured to support emitting electromagnetic radiation between approximately 400-700 nm;
an auditory interface configured to support emitting electromechanical waves of frequencies between approximately 20-20,000 Hz;
an electromagnetic radiation transceiver configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation;
a user interface comprising at least one of;
a tactile responsive component;
an electromechanical radiation responsive component; and
an electromagnetic radiation responsive component;
a processor;
an addressable memory component;
a time measuring device; and
an access control controller;
wherein the user interface is configured to;
receive a set of instructions via the user interface and transmit the received set of instructions to the processor;
wherein the electromagnetic radiation transceiver is further configured to receive partitioned media content;
and the electromagnetic radiation transceiver is configured to send the partitioned media content to the addressable memory component;
wherein the addressable memory component is configured to store the partitioned media content;
wherein the access control controller regulates access to at least a portion of the received partitioned media content and the access control controller comprises;
a function limiter configured to disable at least a portion of the user interface during an occurrence of specified events;
a position determining component comprising at least one of;
a terrestrially based position determining component;
a satellite based position determining component; and
a hybrid of terrestrially and satellite based position determining devices; and
an instruction creating component comprising at least one of;
a user interface sensor configured to identify and record select predefined activity occurring at the user interface;
a communication interface sensor configured to identify and record input from a communication interface; and
a receiver configured to receive input from at least one of a time measurement component or position determining component; and
wherein the access control controller controls access to at least a portion of all delivered partitioned media content.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for delivering and managing media whereby a first media element contains multiple media components and a combination of user activity and time are necessary to unlock a subset of the multiple media components. In one embodiment, the user activities include serving as a peer leader, purchasing a key that unlocks at least one of the multiple media components, and other activities having value to the system. The system may also update the media components individually, or in parallel. In addition, the requirements for unlocking one or more of the media components may vary dynamically, or the media components may vary based on: known individual characteristics of a user in a group of users, group characteristics of a subset of users within a group of users or other criteria.
