METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING PARENTAL CONTROLS

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that provides advanced parental control features. As described herein, these advanced parental control features may allow parents to establish parental controls in a dynamic and individualized manner. Moreover, the media guidance application may relieve a first user (e.g., a parent) of the burden of continually monitoring the statistical analysis (e.g., a ratio) of the programming choices of a second user (e.g., a child) by establishing one or more threshold analyses (e.g., a threshold ratio) that the media guidance application may automatically compare to the statistical analysis of the programming choices of the second user.

1. A method for automatically adjusting parental controls, the method comprising:
determining a statistical analysis of a relationship between a first program type and a second program type for a first user; accessing a social network; locating a user group on the social network associated with the first user; determining a threshold analysis of a relationship between the first program type and the second program for an average user of the user group; comparing the statistical analysis to the threshold analysis; and blocking the first program type based on the comparison.
