Abstract
Technical solutions are described for controlling media playback based on consumption of contents in a cup. For example, an apparatus that controls the playback receives an amount of contents in the cup. The apparatus includes one or more sensors that keep track of amount of the contents and/or a rate of consumption of the contents. In an example, the apparatus transmits a signal to a media device in response to a predetermined threshold being greater than the rate of consumption of contents. In response, the media device may pause, stop, or play media. Additionally or alternatively, in response, the media device may display a user interface that describes a status of consumption of contents, such as the rate of flow.
