Abstract

See full text

A method of providing access to content is described and includes receiving a selection of content. The method includes determining whether access is allowed to the content. A PIN entry screen is presented at a television. Further, a request permission soft button is presented at the television. When a correct PIN is received, access is provided to the content. The method also includes receiving a request for permission to access the content. Particularly, the request for permission is received after the request permission soft button is selected. Also, the method includes determining whether a guardian is available to receive the request for permission. The request can be transmitted to an end user terminal of the guardian after determining that the guardian is available. The method can also include indicating that access to the content is denied after determining that the guardian is not available.
