Regulating access to electronic entertainment to incentivize desired behavior
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a processor deployed in a communication network, a behavior of an individual through data received from an electronic device associated with the individual;
comparing, by the processor, the behavior to a predefined behavioral goal stored in a profile for the individual, wherein the predefined behavioral goal comprises a safe driving habit;
identifying, by the processor, a predefined incentive associated with satisfaction of the predefined behavioral goal by the individual, wherein the predefined incentive comprises an access to an electronic entertainment medium, wherein the electronic entertainment medium is associated with a digital service that is accessible via the electronic device associated with the individual over the communication network, wherein the digital service comprises a data service or a video streaming service; and
transmitting, by the processor, an instruction to the electronic entertainment medium to grant the access to the individual when it is determined that the individual has satisfied the predefined behavioral goal, wherein the electronic entertainment medium is deployed in the communication network as a network-based service, wherein the electronic entertainment medium is distinct from the endpoint device associated with the individual.

Abstract
In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for regulating access to electronic entertainment to incentivize desired behavior. For instance, in one example, the behavior of an individual is monitored through data received from an electronic device. The behavior is compared to a predefined behavioral goal stored in a profile for the individual, and a predefined incentive associated with satisfaction of the predefined behavioral goal by the user is identified. The predefined incentive comprises access to an electronic entertainment medium. An instruction to the electronic entertainment medium is generated to grant access to the individual when it is determined that the individual has satisfied the predefined behavioral goal.
