First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for automatically enforcing maturity ratings, comprising:
- sensing, for an individual of preselected individuals, whether or not said individual is present in a predetermined area (S228); and
,dependent upon an outcome of said sensing and upon a maturity rating of a program that is a candidate for current presentation in said area, blocking said program from said current presentation in said area (S234).

Abstract
Maturity levels of those present to watch a television program are automatically and transparently determined and matched to a derived maturity rating of the candidate program (S244). If none of the detected levels achieves the rating, the program is blocked (S234). Presence is preferably determined by communication exchange with wearable RFID tags (144).
