    摘要: A method and an apparatus operate by identifying a consumption profile for a user. The method and apparatus also has content being modified in view of the consumption profile and a length of time between content creation and content consumption. In the last part of the method, the modified content is transmitted and/or provided to a device or a user.

    摘要: The present principles generally relate to augmented reality (AR) apparatuses and methods, and in particular, to an exemplary augmented reality system (100) in which content characteristics are used to affect the individual viewing experience of the content. One exemplary embodiment involves a user specified modification of the content by using an augmented reality device (125-1) to provide a preview for a parent or a guardian of a viewer, or a third-party curator of contents a time period before a potentially objectionable scene is to be shown to other viewers. A modified content (705, 1005) may be created by replacing or obscuring the objectionable content or scenes of the one or more of the original contents. The apparatus and method is employed in a system having one or more augmented reality devices (125-1-125-n) such as e.g., one or more pairs of AR glasses. The system may also include a non-AR display screen (191, 192) to display the content to one or more viewers. Accordingly, different forms of the same content may be presented on the different AR glasses and also on the shared screen.

    摘要: The present principles generally relate to augmented reality (AR) apparatuses and methods, and in particular, to an exemplary augmented reality system (100) in which content characteristics are used to affect the individual viewing experience of the content. One exemplary embodiment involves a user specified modification of the content by using an augmented reality device to provide a preview (600) for a parent or a guardian of a viewer, or a third-party curator of contents. A modified content (705, 05) may be created by replacing or obscuring the objectionable content or scenes of the one or more of the original contents. The apparatus and method is employed in a system having one or more augmented reality devices (125-1-125-n) such as e.g., one or more pairs of AR glasses. The system may also include a non-AR display screen (191, 192) to display the content to one or more viewers. Accordingly, different forms of the same content may be presented on the different AR glasses and also on the shared screen. Accordingly, for example, video content in unmodified form is provided to the display screen for a plurality of the viewers of the video content, while the video content in modified form is provided to the pair of AR glasses.

    摘要: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable medium are described herein. A device (1002) may provide a content recommendation (310) to a viewer based on a profile (202) of the viewer. The device (1002) may also detect binge watching of the recommended content (310) by the viewer. The device (1002) may also limit further viewing of the recommended content (310) in response to detecting the binge watching. In response to the binge watching, the device (1002) may also provide a message (402) to the viewer, provide a suggestion (404) to the viewer of content, and/or provide an incentive (406) to the viewer to perform another activity. The device (1002) may detect binge watching by detecting that a consumption rate (304) of the recommended content (310) by the viewer exceeds a threshold consumption rate (306) of the recommended content (310).
