    摘要: A method and system for controlling whether to have a content-presentation device dynamically replace a modifiable content segment, such as a replaceable ad, that is upcoming on a channel being received by the content-presentation device. An example method includes a computing system determining, based on objectionable-content data established from user input and/or channel-changing history, whether the modifiable content segment is objectionable as to the content-presentation device. And the example method then includes, based at least on the determination of whether the determined modifiable content segment is objectionable as to the content-presentation device, the computing system controlling whether to have the content-presentation device dynamically replace the modifiable content segment with a replacement content segment.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a media player and computer-readable mediums, are described for rendering media content at a frame rate that is safe to a user. A system, or its media player, obtains media content that includes video content having multiple frames. The system determines a frame rate representing a rate for sequentially displaying the frames to the user when the media player plays the media content. Image content of each frame is scanned and data describing different photosensitivity thresholds is obtained. Based on a photosensitivity of the user, the system determines that one or more frames in a portion of the media content include image content that is unsafe to the user when the media player plays the media content. The system selectively decreases a frame playback rate for the portion of the media content as a function of an input value that is selectable by the user.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described herein for recommending content restrictions to a user based on chatter in a social network of the user. The system analyzes chatter in the social network to identify a correlation between what is posted by users and the content that the users are posting about. The system stores a mapping between chatter and expected attributes of the content referenced by the chatter. The system will determine whether to block the content when an expected attribute is associated with a content restriction.
