A vehicle system for controlling media, the vehicle system comprising:

• one or more sensors positioned in a vehicle, the one or more sensors configured to detect one or more characteristics;
• and
• a control module in communication with the one or more sensors, the control module configured to:
• detect whether a user is observing media output by a media output module based on at least one of the detected characteristics;
• in response to detecting the user is observing the media output by the media output module, determine a focus state from a plurality of focus states for the user based on at least one of the detected characteristics;
• set at least one bookmark moment with respect to the media based on the determined focus state for the user;
• and
• output one or more resumption options for the user with respect to the media, the one or more resumption options including reverting to the at least one bookmark moment.
