## Abstract

A presentation order of curated media items that are represented by meta data in a playpack is determined by evaluating a platform score, a viewer score, a content popularity score, a content quality score, and a scatter algorithm.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of determining a measure of media items that are accessible via metadata stored in a Playpack, comprising:
determining a platform assessment score that includes a screen score, a network factor, a network speed, and a touch screen score;
determining a viewer assessment score that includes a presentation score, a duration score, a taxonomy score, and repeated view tolerance score;
determining a content assessment score that includes a popularity weighting score and a quality score; and
ordering the media items based on content assessment score and viewer assessment score

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the quality score is based on comparing platform assessment score factors with media item meta data.

### Claim 3

A method of determining a presentation order of media items that are accessible via metadata stored in a Playpack, comprising:
determining a platform assessment score that includes a screen score, a network factor, a network speed, and a touch screen score;
determining a viewer assessment score that includes a presentation score, a duration score, a taxonomy score, and repeated view tolerance score;
determining a content popularity weighting score;
determining a content quality score that is based on comparing platform assessment score factors with media item meta data;
ordering the media items based on content popularity weighting score, content quality score and viewer assessment score; and
applying a scatter algorithm to re-order the ordered media items based on a viewer repetition tolerance factor.

### Claim 4

A method operable on a digital Computer Server (CS) and one or more Remote Computing Devices (RMD), comprising:
encrypting an identity of a child operating an application on the RMD with a two-way encryption algorithm use a public encryption key and a secret encryption key;
storing the encrypted identity in a memory that is accessible by the CS;
storing the secret encryption key separately from the encrypted identity;
transmitting child RMD operator usage data from the RMD to the CS; and
storing the RMD operator usage data with reference to only the public encryption key.
