Embodiment Construction

[0014] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in consideration of a set-top box capable of receiving and delivering media objects over an Internet Protocol-based delivery system. Internet Protocol refers to a delivery system for receiving media objects from resources such as websites, media servers, or other types of resources available through Internet connections. Typically, an IP-enabled set-top box is connected to the Internet through a connection such as a digital subscriber line, a wire-based connection, a wireless connection, or another type of broadband connection. The term "media object" as used herein includes audio, video, text, multimedia data files and streaming media files. Multimedia objects include any combination of text, image, video, and audio data. Streaming media includes audio, video, multimedia, text and interactive data files transmitted to users via the Internet, satellite or other communication network environment, and playback ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for obtaining information about a media object being rendered on a remote device is returned in response to a parental monitoring query. Specifically, a query is issued via a monitoring device (615) through a network connection. In response to such a query, information is returned back to the monitoring device (655) indicating a multicast address and port number to which the remote device is currently joined. The monitoring device then joins the multicast address and port number to receive the media object transmitted over such a multicast address. Optionally, the monitoring device kills the receipt of the media object by the remote device in response to a kill command (679, 689).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of media object delivery, and more particularly to the monitoring of media objects delivered to remote devices. Background technique [0002] With the ever-increasing abundance of movie and music content available through delivery mechanisms such as the Internet, it has become increasingly difficult for parents to keep track of what their children are watching and listening to. Some of the content children access may be sexual or violent, which parents may not want their children to be exposed to until they are older. In addition, parents may also want to limit their children's access to websites or other communication media that may present inappropriate content to their children. [0003] Some Internet content can be restricted using software known as web browser filtering software. These filtering software prevent children from accessing different websites by blocking the use of Internet Protocol (IP) add...
