Controlling access to digital items based on weather conditions

摘要

This disclosure describes an account management service that allows a primary account user to establish weather constraints that will result in access to digital items to be restricted when current weather conditions correspond with the established weather constraints. For example, a primary account user may specify that, when the weather is sunny and between sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit and eighty degrees Fahrenheit, access to digital items by a secondary account user is to be restricted.

主权项

1. A method for controlling access to digital items by a user of an account, the method comprising: under control of one or more computing devices configured with executable instructions, determining a preferred weather condition that, when satisfied, access to a digital item of a plurality of digital items by the user of the account is restricted, wherein the preferred weather condition is determined based at least in part on one or more of an age of the user, a location of the user, a time of year, a weather forecast, or a historical digital access pattern by the user; determining that a current weather condition at a location of the user satisfies the preferred weather condition; determining that a current time is within a defined time constraint, wherein the defined time constraint is a period of time specified by a primary account user for the user; in response to determining that the current weather condition at the location of the user satisfies the preferred weather condition and that the current time is within a defined time constraint, restricting access to the digital item by the user of the account; and continuing to restrict access to the digital item until it is determined that the user has been located outside for a defined period of time or until a current weather condition at the location of the user does not satisfy the preferred weather condition.
