TIME AND TASK BASED VALIDATION TO ENABLE OR DISABLE PARENTAL CONTROLS

摘要

Approaches are provided for to enabling or disabling parental controls based on time or task validation using a centralized computing environment. An approach includes receiving parental control rules for one or more computing devices. The approach further includes publishing the parental control rules to each of the one or more computing devices to enable the parental control rules on each of the one or more computing devices. The approach further includes determining whether at least one of completion of a task is validated, and the current time is outside of a specified time. The approach further includes at least one of when the completion of the task is validated, and the current time is outside of the specified time period, publishing a parental control disable command to each of the one or more computing devices to disable at least one of the parental control rules.

主权项

1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to:
publish parental control rules to each of one or more computing devices to enable the parental control rules on each of the one or more computing devices, wherein at least one of the parental control rules includes at least one of: (i) a requirement that a task be completed prior to allowing use of one or more features or functions on the one or more computing devices, and (ii) a requirement that a current time be outside of a specified time period prior to allowing use of the one or more features or functions on the one or more computing devices; determine whether at least one of: (i) completion of the task is validated, and (ii) the current time is outside of the specified time period; and when at least one of: (i) the completion of the task is validated and (ii) the current time is outside of the specified time period, publish a parental control disable command to each of the one or more computing devices to disable the at least one of the parental control rules published to each of the one or more computing devices.
