Abstract
An input device interacts with a terminal device and/or controls the terminal device of a communication network. The terminal device serves to receive and to transmit a content data stream which represents a chat transmission. In addition, the terminal device functions to transmit messages created by the input device to a processing unit of the communication network. The input device has at least one sensor for determining a physical state of an operator of the input device. The input device is furthermore designed to transmit a value representing the physical state to the terminal and/or the processing unit.

1-11. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- sending a content data stream representing an entertainment program from a processing unit of a communication network, the content data stream being sent to a remote terminal device;
- outputting the content data stream from the terminal device;
- using an input device to sense a physical state of a human operator of the input device;
- forwarding a value representing the physical state to the terminal device;
- transmitting the value from terminal device to the processing unit;
- and
- manipulating the content data stream at the processing unit to conform with the physical state of the human operator.
An input device, comprising:
- a sensor to sense a physical state of a human operator of the input device;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit a value representing the physical state to a terminal device for forwarding to a processing unit of a communication network so that the processing unit can manipulate a content data stream sent back to the terminal device, the content data stream representing an entertainment program.
A terminal device, comprising:
- a receiver to receive a content data stream representing an entertainment program from a remote processing unit of a communication network;
- an output device to output the content data stream;
- an evaluation unit to evaluate data representing a physical state of a human operator, received from an input device;
- and
- a transmitter, connected to the evaluation unit, to transmit the data representing the physical state to the processing unit of the communication network.
