RESTRICTING OPERATION OF A CLIENT DEVICE TO PARENT APPROVED CONTENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device, comprising:
- a touchscreen user input mechanism;
at least one other user input mechanism that is not touchscreen based;
a memory that has stored thereon computer executable components;
a microprocessor that executes the following computer executable components stored in the memory;
a content selection component configured to receive a playlist input specifying content to include in at least one parent approved playlist; and
a mode control component configured to selectively enable a child mode on the mobile device based upon mode control input, wherein the child mode disables the at least one other user input mechanism such that all user input to the mobile device must be made through the touchscreen user input mechanism, and displays a child mode interface that restricts access on the mobile device to the at least one parent approved playlist and the content in the at least one parent approved playlist.

13. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a playlist input at a mobile device specifying content to include in at least one parent approved playlist, wherein the mobile device comprises a touchscreen user input mechanism and at least one other user input mechanism that is not touchscreen based; selectively enabling a child mode on the mobile device based upon mode control input, wherein the child mode disables the at least one other user input mechanism such that all user input to the mobile device must be made through the touchscreen user input mechanism, and displays a child mode interface that restricts access on the mobile device to the at least one parent approved playlist and the content in the at least one parent approved playlist. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system, comprising:
-
means for receiving a playlist input specifying content to include in at least one parent approved playlist; means for selectively enabling a child mode on a client device based upon mode input, wherein the client device comprises a touchscreen user input mechanism and at least one other user input mechanism that is not touchscreen based, wherein the child mode disables the at least one other user input mechanism such that all user input to the client device must be made through the touchscreen user input mechanism, and displays a child mode interface that restricts access on the client device to the at least one parent approved playlist and the content in the at least one parent approved playlist.

26. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause at least one device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a playlist input specifying content to include in at least one parent approved playlist; selectively enabling a child mode on a client device based upon mode input, wherein the client device comprises a touchscreen user input mechanism and at least one other user input mechanism that is not touchscreen based, wherein the child mode disables the at least one other user input mechanism such that all user input to the client device must be made through the touchscreen user input mechanism, and displays a child mode interface that restricts access on the client device to the at least one parent approved playlist and the content in the at least one parent approved playlist.
