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:
establishing a wireless connection with a first and a second portable device, from a plurality of portable devices, wherein the connection is established when the first and second portable devices are within the perceived range of a user equipment device;
receiving a request to display a media asset from either the first or second portable device;
in response to receiving the request to display the media asset:
obtaining a parental control profile for the first and second portable devices;
determining that parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user; and
selecting a version of the media asset, from a plurality of versions of the media asset, that satisfies parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection is either a short-range or a long-rage communication.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing a wireless connection with the first and the second portable device further comprises:
attempting to communicate with a plurality of portable devices;
determining which devices, from the plurality of portable devices, are within the perceived range of a user equipment device; and
establishing the wireless connection with the first and the second portable device upon determining that they are within the perceived range of a user equipment device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, displaying the selected version of the media asset, from a plurality of versions of the media asset, on a shared screen display that is viewable simultaneously by users associated with the first and second portable devices.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to receiving the request to display the media asset and determining that parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user, displaying a prompt that indicates that the media asset in its current version violates parental control restrictions of the first user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, determining a conflict in the parental control restrictions upon determining that the parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising, requesting for a version of the media asset that satisfies parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile in response to determining the conflict in the parental control restrictions.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected version of the media asset is a version of the media asset that is edited to remove content that exceeds parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected version of the media asset is a version of the media asset that is edited to replace content that exceeds parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that a current version of the media asset does not violate the parental control restrictions of the second portable device; and
displaying the current version of the media asset on the second portable device in response to determining that the current version of the media asset does not violate the parental control restrictions of the second portable device.
11 . A system comprising:
one or more control circuitries configured to:
establish a wireless connection with a first and a second portable device, from a plurality of portable devices, wherein the connection is established when the first and second portable devices are within the perceived range of a user equipment device;
receive a request to display a media asset from either the first or second portable device;
in response to receiving the request to display the media asset:
obtain a parental control profile for the first and second portable devices;
determine that parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user; and
select a version of the media asset, from a plurality of versions of the media asset, that satisfies parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the wireless connection is either a short-range or a long-rage communication.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein establishing a wireless connection with the first and the second portable device further comprises, the one or more control circuitries configured to:
attempt to communicate with a plurality of portable devices;
determine which devices, from the plurality of portable devices, are within the perceived range of a user equipment device; and
establish the wireless connection with the first and the second portable device upon determining that they are within the perceived range of a user equipment device.
14 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising, the one or more control circuitries configured to display the selected version of the media asset, from a plurality of versions of the media asset, on a shared screen display that is viewable simultaneously by users associated with the first and second portable devices.
15 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising, in response to receiving the request to display the media asset and determining that parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user, the one or more control circuitries configured to display a prompt that indicates that the media asset in its current version violates parental control restrictions of the first user.
16 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising, the one or more control circuitries configured to determine a conflict in the parental control restrictions upon determining that the parental control profile for the first user is more restrictive that the parental control profile for the second user.
17 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising, the one or more control circuitries configured to request for a version of the media asset that satisfies parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile in response to determining the conflict in the parental control restrictions.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the selected version of the media asset is a version of the media asset that is edited to remove content that exceeds parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the selected version of the media asset is a version of the media asset that is edited to replace content that exceeds parental control restrictions of the more restrictive parental profile.
20 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising, the one or more control circuitries configured to:
determine that a current version of the media asset does not violate the parental control restrictions of the second portable device; and
display the current version of the media asset on the second portable device in response to determining that the current version of the media asset does not violate the parental control restrictions of the second portable device.
