Systems and methods for media detection and filtering using a parental control logging application
First Claim
1. A method for accessing parental control features, comprising:
- retrieving a plurality of log entries for a device associated with a plurality of media assets from a log data store, wherein a first log entry of the plurality of log entries defines an unsuccessful attempt to access a first media asset of the plurality of media assets and includes information identifying the first media asset, and a second log entry of the plurality of log entries defines a completed successful attempt to access a second media asset of the plurality of media assets and includes information identifying the second media asset;
generating for display a user interface that presents the plurality of log entries for the device to a user;
receiving a first user selection of a first selectable option corresponding to the second log entry of the plurality of log entries to access parental control settings of the second media asset corresponding to the second log entry of the plurality of log entries;
determining parental control settings assigned to the second media asset based on receiving the first user selection;
generating for display a second selectable option to modify the parental control settings;
receiving a second user selection of the second selectable option; and
applying the parental control settings as modified based on the second user selection, wherein the applying comprises storing the modified parental control settings in a parental control data store and wherein the modified parental control settings restrict access to the second media asset corresponding to the second log entry in the future.

Abstract
Systems and methods for accessing parental control features are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Log entries associated with a set of media assets are retrieved from a log data store. Each log entry defines an attempt to access a media asset and includes information identifying the media asset. The log entries may be presented on a display screen and a user selection of a log entry may be received. In response to the user selection, parental control settings assigned to the media asset associated with the selected log entry may be determined. A user may be allowed to modify the parental control settings assigned to the media asset associated with the selected log entry, and the modified parental control settings may be stored in a parental control data store.
