Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for managing a network based on feedback according to one embodiment. In use, the method includes establishing a network; connecting a plurality of devices to the network, the plurality of devices including a master device; and limiting access to the network to a predetermined period of time for one or more of the plurality of devices, where the master device is exempt from the limiting.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- establishing a network;
- connecting a plurality of devices to the network, the plurality of devices including a device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices of the plurality of devices are connected to the network;
- limiting access to the network to a predetermined period of time for one or more of the plurality of devices, where the device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices are connected to the network is exempt from the limiting;
- receiving a designation that a user of one of the plurality of devices is of a predetermined type;
- and
- applying one or more permissions to the device, based on the designation;
- wherein:
- a first device of the plurality of devices is designated as a device that has limited access within the network in response to receiving a designation that the first device has a child user, and
- a second device of the plurality of devices is designated as the device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices of the plurality of devices are connected to the network in response to determining that a parent has logged in to the second device with their credentials.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
- code configured to establish a network;
- code configured to connect a plurality of devices to the network, the plurality of devices including a device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices of the plurality of devices are connected to the network;
- code configured to limit access to the network to a predetermined period of time for one or more of the plurality of devices, where the device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices are connected to the network is exempt from the limiting;
- code configured to receive a designation that a user of one of the plurality of devices is of a predetermined type;
- and
- code configured to apply one or more permissions to the device, based on the designation;
- wherein:
- a first device of the plurality of devices is designated as a device that has limited access within the network in response to receiving a designation that the first device has a child user, and
- a second device of the plurality of devices is designated as the device that controls how and/or when one or more additional devices of the plurality of devices are connected to the network in response to determining that a parent has logged in to the second device with their credentials.

A method, comprising:
- establishing a network;
- connecting a plurality of devices to the network, the plurality of devices including a master device;
- limiting access to the network to a predetermined period of time for one or more of the plurality of devices, where the master device is exempt from the limiting;
- detecting that a user of one of the plurality of devices is of a predetermined type;
- and
- automatically applying one or more permissions to the device, in response to the detecting;
- wherein a first device of the plurality of devices is designated as a slave device in response to detecting that the first device has a child user, and the designation of the first device is changed to the master device in response to determining that a parent has logged in to the first device with their credentials.
