Filtering and parental control methods for restricting visual activity on a head mounted display
First Claim
1. A method for executing computer instructions for presenting an interactive environment in a head-mounted display, comprising:
- identifying content associated with the interactive environment to be presented on the head-mounted display for a user;
determining whether an interactive object within the identified content satisfies a threshold for presentation to the user, wherein determining whether the interactive object satisfies the threshold is performed by analyzing one or more parameters regarding the user, a rating associated with the interactive object, and a content level that is set by an administrator;
augmenting the interactive object with augmentation data, the augmented data acting to change a characteristic of the interactive object, wherein augmenting the interactive object is performed after determining that the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation to the user, wherein the augmentation data modifies the interactive object to conform the interactive object to be within the threshold, wherein said augmenting is performed to display the interactive object as being augmented on the head-mounted display for presentation to the user;
sending via a network the interactive object for approval to an administrator for the user,wherein the display of the interactive object as being augmented continues until the approval by the administrator for presenting the interactive object without being augmented is received.

Abstract
A method for executing computer instructions for presenting an interactive environment in a head-mounted display (HMD) is described. The method includes identifying content associated with the interactive environment to be presented on the HMD for a user and determining whether an interactive object within the identified content satisfies a threshold for presentation to the user. The method includes augmenting the interactive object with augmentation data. The augmented data acts to change a characteristic of the interactive object. The operation of augmenting the interactive object is performed after determining that the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation to the user. The augmentation data modifies the interactive object to conform the interactive object to be within the threshold.

15. A method comprising:
-
identifying content associated with an interactive environment to be presented on a head-mounted display for a user; determining whether an interactive object within the identified content satisfies a threshold for presentation on the head-mounted display for the user, wherein determining whether the interactive object satisfies the threshold is performed by analyzing information regarding the user and a rating of the interactive object; sending for approval to an administrator via a network, information associated with the interactive object in response to determining that the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation on the head-mounted display, the information associated with the interactive object identifying a display characteristic of the interactive object, the user, and the rating of the interactive object; augmenting the interactive object in response to determining that the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation on the head-mounted display, wherein the interactive object is augmented to display the interactive object as being augmented on the head-mounted display for the user, wherein the display of the augmented interactive object continues until the approval from the administrator of the information associated with the interactive object is received. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method comprising:
-
identifying content associated with a shared interactive environment, the shared interactive environment to be presented on a display device of a first head-mounted display, the shared interactive environment shared between a first user and a second user; determining whether an interactive object in the identified content satisfies a threshold for presentation on the display device of the first head-mounted display for the first user and satisfies a threshold for presentation on a display device of a second head-mounted display for the second user; augmenting the interactive object after determining that the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation to the first user; sending for approval to a third user via a network, information associated with the interactive object; and providing the augmented interactive object to be displayed on the first head-mounted display for the first user, wherein the display of the augmented interactive object on the first head-mounted display continues until the approval of a display of the interactive object without being augmented is received from the third user; and providing the interactive object to the second head-mounted display for the second user without augmenting the interactive object after determining that the interactive object satisfies the threshold for presentation to the second user. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
