    摘要: Users are provided limited access to multimedia programs. An administrator may require users to log in to begin a multimedia distribution session (e.g., a television program viewing session). The administrator may designate that certain users may access multimedia content only for an allotted amount of time during an approved viewing period. The administrator may also designate that a maximum amount of rollover time is carried to a future tracking period if an allotted amount of viewing time is not fully used for any tracking period.

    摘要: A disclosed method for facilitating automated and user-specific filtering of multimedia content includes a backend server receiving a content identifier from a user's multimedia handling device (MHD), e.g., a set top box. The content identifier indicates of a program of multimedia content (PMC) requested or otherwise desired by a user. The disclosed method includes identifying or otherwise locating an index file associated with the requested PMC. The index file includes data that indicates portions of the PMC containing potentially objectionable content. Content filtering (CF) settings associated with the user are retrieved or otherwise accessed. The CF settings define at least one type of content that is objectionable to the user. The CF settings are applied to the index file to identify a portion of the PMC containing content objectionable to the user. Content location information that indicates the identified portion of the PMC is then sent to the MHD.

    摘要: Users are provided limited access to multimedia programs. An administrator may require users to log in to begin a multimedia distribution session. Further, administrators may permit certain users to access selected multimedia programs only for a limited number of views. In addition, an administrator may designate that users have a limited amount of time or a limited period to exercise the limited number of views of the multimedia programs. For example, an administrator may designate that a user can access a multimedia program for a single view, that the user may take three hours to exercise the single view, and that the single view must take place within next three days.

    摘要: A disclosed access control application and an associated method for managing access to multimedia content include enabling an administrator, e.g., a parent, to create a user account for a user, e.g., a child, and a password and a profile for the user account. The method further includes assigning an access level to the user and generating an initial set of content access indicator (CAIs) based on the access level. The initial CAI influences or determines the user's ability to access content associated with the access level. The method further includes modifying at least one of the CAIs in response to a request from the administrator. When a user subsequently send a navigation signal or command while the user account is active, the navigation signal is processed based at least in part on the CAIs to prevent the user from accessing content that the applicable CAI indicates as being restricted.

    摘要: An administrator controls viewer access to restricted multimedia programs using electronic permission slips. In response to a viewer's request to view a restricted multimedia program, the viewer may initiate the generation of an electronic permission slip that is sent to an electronic device associated with the administrator. The electronic permission slip may include text-based information, graphical information, audio information, and the like. The electronic permission slip may enable input of permission data regarding whether the viewer is allowed to receive the blocked program. In response to the administrator granting permission, a service provider network allows the viewer to access the restricted multimedia program.
