Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling user-preferred trick-play modes. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a method for enabling user-preferred trick-play modes based on content classifications of a content item. In embodiments described herein, methods and systems are provided for varying the user experience with respect to trick-play operation. For example, experience may be varied based on the content being consumed or based on a combination of content being consumed and computing device being used.

(canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- transmitting, for display at a first user device, a content item;
- based at least in part on a first profile of a first user associated with the first user device, determining whether to permit performance of a trick-play operation in relation to a portion of the content item during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device;
- based at least in part on determining to permit performance of the trick-play operation in relation to the portion of the content item during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device, causing performance of the trick-play operation during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device;
- transmitting, for display at a second user device, the content item;
- and
- based at least in part on a second profile of a second user associated with the second user device, determining not to permit performance of the trick-play operation during the display of the portion of the content item at the second user device.
A system comprising:
- memory configured to store at least one of a first profile or a second profile;
- control circuitry configured to:
- transmit, for display at a first user device, a content item;
- based at least in part on a first profile of a first user associated with the first user device, determine whether to permit performance of a trick-play operation in relation to a portion of the content item during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device;
- based at least in part on determining to permit performance of the trick-play operation in relation to the portion of the content item during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device, cause performance of the trick-play operation during the display of the portion of the content item at the first user device;
- transmit, for display at a second user device, the content item;
- and
- based at least in part on a second profile of a second user associated with the second user device, determine not to permit performance of the trick-play operation during the display of the portion of the content item at the second user device.
