  • Patent number: 9129135
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for controlling access to electronic applications by a user. A request may be received (e.g., from a user) to access an electronic application. The availability of points, credits, or time for the particular user may be determined, and access to the electronic application granted or denied based on the determination. User identity may be verified through biometric data, with such verification repeated at periodic or random intervals. Access may be restricted based on a permission level of a particular authority that has responsibility for all or a portion of the user's activities during a particular time period. Access may also be restricted based on the location of the user at the time of the access request.

  • Publication number: 20130047260
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and computer program products are described for controlling access to electronic content. Content ratings for electronic content are received from each of a number of reviewers, and the input value for each of the reviewers is weighted. Content analysis for the electronic content is also received on each of a number of factors, and each factor is weighted. These weightings may be based on community standards, be specific to a geographic region, or be personalized. The weighted content ratings and the weighted content analysis may be combined to generate an access metric. Access to the electronic content may be controlled based on the access metric.
