Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling a presentation of media content, comprising: receiving, via a user interface from a user, information including a first threshold of time, a second threshold of time, and an identification of a character from a plurality of characters for presenting warnings in connections with the presentation of the media content; causing the presentation of the media content to begin; determining, using a hardware processor, whether the first threshold and the second threshold are applicable to the presentation of the media content based at least in part on a characteristic of a current point in time; in response to determining that the first threshold and the second threshold are applicable to the presentation of the media content, determining if an elapsed time of the presentation has met the first threshold; in response to determining that the elapsed time of the presentation has met the first threshold, causing a warning that the presentation will soon end to be presented using the character; determining if the elapsed time of the presentation has met the second threshold; and ending the presentation in response to determining that the elapsed time of the presentation has met the second threshold.
