Methods and apparatus for using user engagement to provide content presentation
First Claim
1. A method of providing content, comprising:
- determining an engagement level at a first time;
comparing the engagement level to an engagement threshold to determine if the engagement level is less than the engagement threshold at the first time, wherein the engagement level is based at least on two or more contextual items associated with presentation of content by a content providing device;
storing a marker associated with the content at the first time in storage when it is determined that the engagement level is less that the engagement threshold at the first time;
determining whether the engagement level at a second time is greater than or equal to the engagement threshold; and
modifying one or more presentation attributes of the content upon the determination that the engagement level is less than the engagement threshold at the first time, wherein the modifying further comprises focusing auditory presentation of the content away from a first user.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for communication are provided. A content providing device is operable to use engagement level information to modify presentation of content. In one aspect, the content providing device may determine that an engagement level at a first time is less than an engagement threshold at the first time. The engagement level may be based at least on one or more contextual items associated with presentation of content by the content providing device. Further, the content providing device may store a marker associated with the content at the first time in storage. Moreover, the content providing device may determine whether the engagement level at a second time is greater than or equal to the engagement threshold.
