Embodiment Construction

[0045] Certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same elements even in different drawings. Matters defined in the description, such as detailed construction and elements, are provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of the invention. It is therefore evident that the invention can also be practiced without these well-defined entities. Also, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

[0047] figure 1 is a view showing a parental lock applicable to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. refer to figure 1 , the parental lock system may include a digital television (DTV) 100, a PC 200, and the Internet 300. The DTV 100 is connected to the PC 200 via the Internet 300 for communication.

Abstract

A method for restricting viewing access to a broadcast program, and a broadcast receiving apparatus using the same are provided. The method for restricting viewing access to a broadcast program includes a process of restricting viewing access to a broadcast program based on viewing restriction information set by a user. The broadcast receiving apparatus restricts viewing access to the broadcast program selected by the user through an external apparatus connected with a broadcast receiving apparatus, such that the user can set viewing restriction of broadcast program from a location which is remote from the broadcast receiving apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] Apparatus and methods according to the present invention relate to providing a broadcast viewing restriction, and more particularly, to a method for restricting viewing access to a broadcast program selected by a user and a broadcast receiving apparatus using the method. Background technique [0002] A television (TV) is one of the most versatile broadcast receiving devices. The newly developed televisions offer many additional features besides the basic ones. [0003] Parental lock (parental lock) is one of the additional functions provided by the TV. When parents are away from home to supervise their children, parents can use parental lock to prevent their children from watching broadcast programs that may be harmful to them. [0004] Users have to set parental lock related options by using remote control to block access to harmful broadcasts. However, since the parental lock is not performed when the parental lock option is not set, this function...
