Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring output of a monitored display, comprising: determining an identity of a user viewing the monitored display via facial recognition using an image obtained via a camera connected to the monitored display; buffering data in a memory buffer to generate buffered data, the data comprising audio and video to be output by the monitored display; monitoring the buffered data; generating, at a display monitoring device, a content identifier based on information separate from the buffered data and located using program identifying information contained in the buffered data; comparing the content identifier to a set of rules associated with the identity of the user viewing the monitored display; transmitting an alert and a preview comprising the audio and the video associated with the alert to a supervisor device in response to the content identifier corresponding to an alert rule of the set of rules, a first supervisor associated with the supervisor device; generating an edited version of the buffered data for output by the monitored display, the edited version of the buffered data edited to remove sound data and image content identified by the first supervisor as objectionable; and displaying the edited version of the buffered data in response to input from the first supervisor, wherein one rule of the set of rules is generated based on a rule used by a second supervisor in a group of supervisors in which the first supervisor is a member and the buffering data continues until a response to the alert is received.
