Abstract
Systems and methods for generating a notification when activity exceeds an authorization level are provided. A determination is made as to whether content currently being presented to a first user exceeds an authorization level associated with the first user. In response to determining that the content exceeds the authorization level, the content being presented is monitored to determine whether the content meets a criterion. An amount of time the content being presented meets the criterion is measured. In response to determining that the amount of time exceeds a threshold, a communication is transmitted to a second user indicating that the content currently being presented to the first user exceeds the authorization level.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a user interface selection of:
- a specified profile,
- a parental control category for monitoring access to content, and
- a match ratio for the monitoring, wherein the match ratio is a ratio indicative of a match between:
- (a) characteristics of accessed content, and (b) the at least one user interface selected parental control category;
- tracking an amount of time when a device associated with the specified profile plays content that matches the parental control category based on the match ratio;
- and
- in response to determining that the tracked amount of time exceeds a particular time value, performing an action related to the specified profile.
A system comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive user interface selection of:
- a specified profile,
- a parental control category for monitoring access to content, and
- a match ratio for the monitoring, wherein the match ratio is a ratio indicative of a match between:
- (a) characteristics of accessed content, and (b) the at least one user interface selected parental control category;
- track an amount of time when a device associated with the specified profile plays content that matches the parental control category based on the match ratio;
- and
- in response to determining that the tracked amount of time exceeds a particular time value, perform an action related to the specified profile.
