Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling a user to access a blocked media asset. These systems and methods allow a user to request that a parent, or another user, who can approve access to the blocked media asset approve access to the blocked media asset for viewing. The request may be transmitted as a notification to a mobile phone or another suitable device, such that the parent the other user can approve the request, even though they may be remote from the requesting user. Both the requesting user and the user whose approval is required to unblock the media asset (i.e., the approver), are identified by the system based on an identifier associated with each user. This informs the approver which user submitted the request. Additionally, this also adds a layer of security, since the approver must enter an identifier to authenticate their identity to the system before being able to unblock the program for the requesting user.

Claim (Index 61):
A system for allowing a user to access a blocked media asset, the system comprising:\n storage circuitry; display circuitry; and control circuitry configured to:\n receive a request to allow a first user to access a media asset that is blocked for the first user; \n determine, from a first profile of the first user stored in the storage circuitry, a second user who has authority to approve access to the media asset for the first user; \n in response to determining the second user who has authority to approve access to the media asset for the first user:\n receive, from a second user equipment device of the second user, a second identifier associated with the second user; \n compare the second identifier with an identifier in a second profile of the second user; and \n in response to determining that the second identifier matches the identifier in the second profile:\n generate, for display on second user equipment device using the display circuitry, an option to unblock the media asset for access by the first user; and \n in response to receiving a selection of the option to unblock the media asset, unblock the media asset for access by the first user.
