WEB-BASED PARENTAL CONTROLS FOR WIRELESS DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of implementing parental controls on a mobile device, comprising:
- analyzing parental control configuration settings among user-accounts to generate a community-based configuration based on demographic information, the community-based configuration comprising parental control parameters that control mobile device functionality;
making the generated community-based configuration available to users of a parental control settings server for selection;
receiving a selection of one or more community-based configurations; and
pushing the parental control parameters of the selected community-based configurations from the parental control settings server to the mobile device through a communication network.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices to dynamically generate community based parental controls for cell devices based on most common parental control settings selected by members of the community. Communities may establish sponsored profiles on a parental control server that contains a community-based set of parental control settings. Parents may select a community based setting and modify each of the settings in accordance with the parents'"'"' personal preferences. The parental control server continually monitors the modifications to those settings and generates new community-based settings reflecting the most common modifications that may be selected by other parents.
