Claim 15:
16. A method, comprising:
in a first media rendering device that includes a processor:
capturing, by the processor, a first image associated with a first user;
determining, by the processor, the first user as an under-age user based on the captured first image;
determining, by the processor, a user-type of the first user based on the captured first image, wherein the user-type of the first user corresponds to at least one of a gender of the first user or a geographical location associated with the first user;
determining, by the processor, user-profile information, associated with one of the first user or the determined user-type, based on the captured first image, wherein the user-profile information corresponds to interests or preferences associated with the one of the first user or the determined user-type of the first user;
training, by the processor, a neural network model based on the user-type and the user-profile information associated with the determined user-type;
determining, by the processor, first device-assistive information based on application of the trained neural network model on the determined user-type of the first user, wherein the first device-assistive information comprises at least one of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to access a first media content from a server, a memory address of the first media rendering device that stores the first media content, or a notification on the first media rendering device to recommend playback of the first media content;
controlling, by the processor, the first media rendering device based on the determined first device-assistive information, to change at least one configuration setting of the first media rendering device;
filtering, by the processor, playback of sensitive media content on the first media rendering device based on the determination of the first user as the under-age user;
capturing, by the processor, a second plurality of images associated with the first user over a period of time, based on the change of the at least one configuration setting of the first media rendering device, wherein the at least one configuration setting of the first media rendering device comprises a network setting associated with the first media rendering device;
determining, by the processor, an emotional state of the first user based on the captured second plurality of images;
determining, by the processor, second device-assistive information based on the application of the trained neural network model on the determined emotional state of the first user; and
controlling, by the processor, the first media rendering device based on the second device-assistive information, to change the at least one configuration setting of the first media rendering device or to provide second media content, wherein the second media content is different from the first media content.
