    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.
