Abstract
Allowing a subscriber of media content services or products to receive filtered content based on the current viewer's profile (i.e., age, gender, maturity, etc.) as opposed to the viewer's physical location is provided. Media content for which filtering may apply may be in the form of movies, television shows, music for listening/downloading, video games, internet browsing, and the like. Upon logging in from the endpoint device interface (television/set-top-box, desktop computer, laptop computer, smart-phone, touch computer, etc.), log-in information may be compared with predefined profiles set up by the primary account holder and filtered media content may be delivered to match the profile of the current logged in end user.
