So in this case the same drawbacks commented earlier still exist
[0017] Moreover, the method also presents the disadvantage that the parent (at least one of them) must give permission at the end, considering that an exchange of messages comprising a query and a response is performed between the parent and the child at the moment the child requests access to the media content. or deny access at the precise moment of availability
[0018] On the other hand, the questions presented seem to be aimed at confirming the conclusions of certain tasks performed by children, such as: "Did you clean your room?" or "Have you done your homework?", in these cases , children may give false responses to fraudulently obtain permission for accessing media content

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and to a method for controlling the use of an electronic device by at least one user, which includes: a means for verifying whether at least one restrictive condition associated with the use of the electronic device is fulfilled; a means for applying a restrictive action to the electronic device in order to restrict the use thereof; a means for randomly determining at least one unsolicited request to the user; a means for making the unsolicited request accessible to the user; a means for receiving the non-agreed input in response to the request; a means for verifying whether the non-agreed input received from the user corresponds to the expected input; and a means for cancelling the restrictive action applied to the electronic device.

Description

[0001] This application claims the European patent application entitled "A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE USE OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE" filed on April 8, 2009 with serial number EP09157658.7 and the European patent application filed on April 23, 2009 , the interest in the date of filing of the US patent application serial number 12429091 with the same title as the European patent. [0002] The present invention relates to a method for controlling the use of an electronic device by a user. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for imposing a corresponding restriction on use of an electronic device when a determination condition is satisfied and canceling / retaining the restriction according to a desired / undesired input from a user. [0003] The invention also relates to a system and a computer program for controlling the use of an electronic device by a user adapted to perform such a method. Background technique [0004] Today, different methods a...
