Selective content presentation engine

摘要

Selective content presentation for the purpose of self-imposed censoring of content is implemented on an electronic device. The selective content presentation involves acquiring a content suppression preference for suppressing content presentation at an electronic device. Subsequently, a content portion and a content selection tag for the content portion are also received at the electronic device. When the electronic device determines based on the content selection tag that a part of content portion is designated for suppression by the content suppression preference, the part of the content portion is obstructed by the electronic device to form a modified content portion. The modified content portion is further presented to a user via the electronic device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
under control of one or more computing systems configured with executable instructions, acquiring a content suppression preference that designates an image content that is positioned at a particular position within a visual image for suppression and an additional content suppression preference that designates a particular content for suppression at an electronic device; receiving a content portion and a content selection tag for the content portion at the electronic device, the content selection tag indicating that the content portion includes the visual image having the image content positioned at the particular position; suppressing a first part of the content portion of the visual image in response to the electronic device determining that the first part of the content portion includes the visual image having the image content positioned at the particular position, and suppressing a second part of the content portion in response to determining via an image recognition algorithm or an audio recognition algorithm of the electronic device that the second part of the content portion matches the particular content that is designated for suppression by the content suppression preference, the suppressing of the image content and the second part producing a modified content portion; and causing the modified content portion to be presented via the electronic device.
