Abstract: A method and a system for selectively providing media content from a database (206) of media files are provided. A plurality of media files is stored within the database (206). Each of the stored media files are identified by an overall primary content rating. A plurality of media segments are included in each of the media files. Each of the media segments are identified by a secondary content rating. A user interface (202) receives a user-generated message requesting access to at least one particular one of the stored media files. The desired content rating for the requested media file is also specified. The interface (204) retrieves the media segments of the requested particular media file that do not exceed the specified desired content rating. Furthermore, the interface (204) provides a user with access to the retrieved media segments.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for managing a digital content stored in an electronic device (102). The electronic device is capable of storing and retrieving the digital content. The method includes storing (304) a plurality of user profiles at the electronic device. Each user profile of the plurality of user profiles includes pre-defined digital content preferences. Further, the method includes accessing (306) at least one user profile of the plurality of user profiles in response to a user identification parameter. Further, the method includes managing (308) the stored digital content for the at least one accessed user profile.
