摘要: A method for interacting with a user when establishing preferences for a media player that enables a user to quickly set his or her preferences by interacting with a graphical display. The media ratings system is converted to a numerical or ordered range so that the ratings are placed in a progressive order from least objectionable to most objectionable. One possible implementation is to associate a numerical value with each rating and then order the ratings in accordance with the numerical sequence. Once the ratings are ordered, the ratings are displayed to the user in a graphical fashion so that the user can select a position on the graph that represents the user's preferences without necessarily requiring the user to understand the underlying implications of the media ratings system.

摘要: A method and apparatus for enabling a viewer to deselect certain portions of programming the viewer finds objectionable enable the viewer to skip over scenes in a digital media program that the viewer finds objectionable. Alternatively or in addition to, some embodiments enable the viewer to select alternative scenes of the same program recorded by the producer that do not include the objectionable material. A computer readable media has encoded thereon predetermined navigational threads that tell a playback device the proper sequence of program segments to play to meet a user specified content rating threshold.
