Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for storing and rendering atleast a desired media content of a mixed rated media according to user preference. The method comprises the steps of: inputting atleast a preference of the desired media content of the mixed rated media to atleast a media player; editing out undesired media content of the mixed rated media; and rendering the desired media contents according to the user preference.

Claims

1. A method for storing and rendering atleast a desired media content of a mixed rated media according to an user preference, comprising the steps of:

receiving atleast the user preference of the desired media content of the mixed rated media;

editing out undesired media content of the mixed rated media; and

rendering the desired media contents according to the user preference.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising atleast any one of the steps of permitting the user to submit viewer rating preference for rendering the media content according to the user preference and compiling and running atleast an altered media content of the mixed rated media according to the user preference in real time.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps providing atleast one of feedback and choices to the user about a plurality of different explicit preferences to screen in or out of the media rendering.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein if an original selected media is rated PG-13 or higher then a media system provides the user an option to select a different rating to view an appropriate media.

5. A method for rendering of a mixed content scenario based on atleast a received user rating preference, comprising the steps of:

reviewing mixed rated media;

checking atleast a rating of a media content;

checking atleast a change preference to allow broader audience if the rating of the media content is higher than the received user preference; and

rendering the media content if the media content rated is aligned with the user preference.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the media system is capable of presenting rating based multiple selections and ratings for viewing the desired media content.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein atleast one of each content and scene in the mixed rated media is tagged with a rating.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the media system is capable of editing out all scenes or media content that has a rating higher than a PG rating and renders a PG rated media content.

9. The method of claim 5, wherein atleast an inappropriate content of the mixed rated media is automatically edited out in a real-time based on the user preference and rests of the contents are presented in a contiguous fashion for viewer consumption.

10. The method of claim 5, wherein atleast a game rendering system is adapted for receiving user preference input for a desired media and rendering the desired media content in order of user preference, wherein the user preference includes E10+.

11. A system for storing and rendering atleast a desired media content of a mixed rated media according to user preference, comprising:

means for receiving atleast a preference of the desired media content;

means for editing out undesired media content of the mixed rated media; and

means for rendering the desired media contents according to the user preference.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein means are adapted for storing and rendering user preference based content, wherein said means for storing and rendering are capable of automatically editing out inappropriate content in a real-time and presenting rest of the content in a contiguous fashion for viewer consumption in a family friendly viewing environment.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the mixed rated media includes a single media input which is capable of being rendered in a rating level.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the media includes atleast one of a movie, a video, a picture, an audio, moving pictures, still pictures, music, music videos, games, audible stories, written stories, image, text, news or any combination thereof.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein a media storage system have frame by frame sequencing reference with different rating system such that each frame is included or excluded in sequencing for rendering of the media by a rating preference of the user.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the media player includes atleast any one of a movie player, a DVD player with or without display, a set-top box, a DVR player, an on-line internet media streaming apparatus, a personal computer, a game rendering system, radio, cell phone, voicemail, television, MPEG player, web browser, virtually any other type of media player that supports video content rendering or any combination thereof, the set-top box is capable of rendering content in atleast one of on-demand, pay-per-view, through DVR or any combination thereof.

17. The game rendering system according to claim 16 include atleast one of a game console, a personal computer, an on-line internet gaming apparatus, any other media player capable of supporting video game rendering system or any combination thereof.

18. The system of claim 11 is capable of rendering atleast a category when the system receives a user request to display the rationale for a given rating of the mixed rated media, wherein the category includes atleast one of a mature language, violence, adult situation, nudity or any combination thereof.

19. The system of claim 11 is capable of providing means for rendering the content for the user to view those content category media to decide if that is acceptable for their content rendering.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the system provides to the user with more informed preference on how mixed content is to be rendered.
