METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILTERING DATA BASED ON CONTENT SELECTED FOR FUTURE ACCESS

摘要

An approach is provided for filtering data accessed by user devices based on user selected content from a content selection device. The approach uses the commonly known knowledge of user selections of content (e.g. selection of media on a DVR) to aid in a user's attempts to limit exposure to spoilers of the content. This concept further involves removal of filters upon user viewing of content. As well as, creating of a content filter based on content information. The data filter is meant to prevent spoiling results or plot lines of media content selected by a user to watch at a later time or date.
