Systems and methods for presenting content simultaneously in different forms based on parental control settings
Systems and methods for identifying objects displayed in a media asset are provided. First and second parental control restrictions associated with first and second users within a perceivable range of a user equipment device are retrieved. The first parental control restriction enables access to content associated with a first authorization level and the second parental control restriction enables access to content associated with a second authorization level. A common authorization level that does not violate the first and second parental control restrictions is identified. A media asset that satisfies the common authorization level is presented to the first and second users in a first form. Supplemental content associated with the media asset that violates the second parental control restriction but does not violate the first parental control restriction is selected. The supplemental content is presented in a second form while the media asset is being presented in the first form.
1. A method comprising:
detecting a first user and a second user that are within a predefined range of a first user device; in response to the detecting:
identifying a parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user;
modifying a media asset presented on the first user device based on a lowest parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user;
generating for output the modified media asset comprising modified audio to the first user device; and
causing a second user device to generate for output the unmodified media asset comprising unmodified supplemental content.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unmodified supplemental content comprises subtitles.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lowest parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user comprises:
assigning a minimum value as the lowest parental control restriction.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user comprises a first parental control restriction associated with the first user and a second parental control restriction associated with the second user;
wherein the first parental control restriction corresponds to a first content rating, wherein the second parental control restriction corresponds to a second content rating, and wherein the second content rating is lower than the first content rating.
5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
storing a plurality of sets of supplemental content corresponding to the media asset, wherein each supplemental content set in the plurality of sets of supplemental content comprises language in the supplemental content that is suitable for different parental control restriction; and
wherein selecting supplemental content comprises:
selecting one of the sets of supplemental content having language that is suitable for the lowest parental control restriction.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying the media asset presented on the first user device comprises:
monitoring a portion of the content of the media asset that is generating for output to the first and second users;
determining whether the monitored portion includes content that violates the lowest parental control restriction;
in response to determining the monitored portion includes content that violates the lowest parental control restriction, replacing the portion of the content that violates the lowest parental control restriction with alternate content that does not violate the lowest parental control restriction.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user device is in a perceivable range of the first user and the second user, and wherein the second user device is within a perceivable range of only the first user.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing the second user device to generate for output the unmodified supplemental content on the second user device to be synchronized with the generation for output of the modified media asset on the first user device.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the first user and the second user is achieved with a facial recognition engine.
10. A system comprising:
one or more control circuitries configured to:
detect a first user and a second user that are within a predefined range of a first user device;
in response to the detecting:
identify a parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user;
modify a media asset presented on the first user device based on a lowest parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user;
generate for output the modified media asset comprising modified audio to the first user device; and
cause a second user device to generate for output the unmodified media asset comprising unmodified supplemental content.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the unmodified supplemental content comprises subtitles.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the lowest parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user comprises:
assigning a minimum value as the lowest parental control restriction.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the parental control restriction associated with the first user and the second user comprises a first parental control restriction associated with the first user and a second parental control restriction associated with the second user;
wherein the first parental control restriction corresponds to a first content rating, wherein the second parental control restriction corresponds to a second content rating, and wherein the second content rating is lower than the first content rating.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more control circuitry are further configured to:
store a plurality of sets of supplemental content corresponding to the media asset, wherein each supplemental content set in the plurality of sets of supplemental content comprises language in the supplemental content that is suitable for different parental control restriction; and
wherein selecting supplemental content comprises:
selecting one of the sets of supplemental content having language that is suitable for the lowest parental control restriction.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the modifying the media asset presented on the first user device comprises:
monitoring a portion of the content of the media asset that is generating for output to the first and second users;
determining whether the monitored portion includes content that violates the lowest parental control restriction;
in response to determining the monitored portion includes content that violates the lowest parental control restriction, replacing the portion of the content that violates the lowest parental control restriction with alternate content that does not violate the lowest parental control restriction.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first user device is in a perceivable range of the first user and the second user, and wherein the second user device is within a perceivable range of only the first user.
17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more control circuitry are further configured to cause the second user device to generate for output the unmodified supplemental content on the second user device to be synchronized with the generation for output of the modified media asset on the first user device.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein detecting the first user and the second user is achieved with a facial recognition engine.
