Abstract

A presentation order of curated media items that are represented by meta data in a playpack is determined by evaluating a platform score, a viewer score, a content popularity score, a content quality score, and a scatter algorithm.

Claims

1. A method of determining a measure of media items that are accessible via metadata stored in a Playpack, comprising:

determining a platform assessment score that includes a screen score, a network factor, a network speed, and a touch screen score;

determining a viewer assessment score that includes a presentation score, a duration score, a taxonomy score, and repeated view tolerance score;

determining a content assessment score that includes a popularity weighting score and a quality score; and

ordering the media items based on content assessment score and viewer assessment score

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the quality score is based on comparing platform assessment score factors with media item meta data.

3. A method of determining a presentation order of media items that are accessible via metadata stored in a Playpack, comprising:

determining a platform assessment score that includes a screen score, a network factor, a network speed, and a touch screen score;

determining a viewer assessment score that includes a presentation score, a duration score, a taxonomy score, and repeated view tolerance score;

determining a content popularity weighting score;

determining a content quality score that is based on comparing platform assessment score factors with media item meta data;

ordering the media items based on content popularity weighting score, content quality score and viewer assessment score; and

applying a scatter algorithm to re-order the ordered media items based on a viewer repetition tolerance factor.

4. A method operable on a digital Computer Server (CS) and one or more Remote Computing Devices (RMD), comprising:

encrypting an identity of a child operating an application on the RMD with a two-way encryption algorithm use a public encryption key and a secret encryption key;

storing the encrypted identity in a memory that is accessible by the CS;

storing the secret encryption key separately from the encrypted identity;

transmitting child RMD operator usage data from the RMD to the CS; and

storing the RMD operator usage data with reference to only the public encryption key.
