Abstract
A spoiler prevention system and method on streaming applications and other interactive platforms whereby hen the spoiler prevention system is active, spouses, friends, or other groups having multiple members, will not be able to watch new episodes of selected programs unless both parties are present at the location that the program is being viewed which may be determined by two separate codes entered by the parties, or that a computing device belonging to both parties is in proximity with one another or a streaming device, or by the parties logging into the mobile application on their computing devices.
Claims14
A system for preventing spoilers on one or more platforms, the system comprising:
- one or more databases coupled via a network;
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more databases;
- and
- one or more computing devices coupled to the one or more processors and the one or more databases via the network, wherein the system performs steps of:
- registering a first user into the system;
- registering a second user into the system;
- registering one or more content into the system;
- determining a first location of a first computing device associated with the first user;
- determining a second location of a second computing device associated with the second user;
- determining that the first location and the second location are within a predetermined distance to each other or that the first location and the second location are within a predetermined distance to a streaming device that will be streaming one or more parts of the one or more content;
- and
- granting access to the one or more parts of the one or more content that the first user and the second user have not watched.
A system for preventing spoilers on one or more streaming platforms, the system comprising:
- one or more databases coupled via a network;
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more databases;
- and
- one or more computing devices coupled to the one or more processors and the one or more databases via the network, wherein the system performs steps of:
- registering a first user into the system associated with a first account or profile;
- registering a second user into the system associated with a second account or profile;
- registering one or more content into the system, wherein the one or more content is video or audio, wherein one or more parts of the one or more content not previously watched or listened to by the first user or the second user are locked;
- determining a first location of a first computing device associated with the first user;
- determining a second location of a second computing device associated with the second user;
- determining that the first location and the second location are within a predetermined distance to each other or that the first location and the second location are within a predetermined distance to a streaming device that will be streaming the one or more parts of the one or more content;
- and
- unlocking the one or more parts of the one or more content.
A system for preventing spoilers on one or more streaming platforms, the system comprising:
- one or more databases coupled via a network;
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more databases;
- and
- one or more computing devices coupled to the one or more processors and the one or more databases via the network, wherein the system performs steps of:
- registering a first user into the system;
- registering a second user into the system;
- registering one or more content into the system, wherein one or more parts of the one or more content not previously watched by the first user or the second user are locked;
- unlocking the one or more parts of the one or more content by determining that the system has been accessed by the first user on a first computing device at a first location and that the system has been accessed by the second user on a second computing device at a second location and the first location and the second location are within a predetermined range of one another of within a predetermined range of a streaming device that will be playing the one or more content;
- and
- generating a calendar user interface with selectable days, weeks, or months, where the one or more parts of the one or more content is then unlocked at specific time periods or windows for staggered viewing.
