  • Use tagging in television programs for scene filtering and alerts
    Patent number: 7540009
    Abstract: A method and system for using tagging in programming such as television programming, movie DVDs and streaming video, and establishing personalized tag alerts for objectionable programming. The invention includes the user inputting a desired class of objectionable programming, and then the user inputting a desired action for that class of objectionable programming. Content codes are mapped to the user inputs. The invention reads the tags of the programming, and then the required user action is performed based on the user inputs for that tag, which may entail skipping a scene, playing a scene, outputting alerts, or altering a scene.
