Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling permissions to change parental control settings based on vocal characteristics of a user. In some aspects, the media guidance application may receive a voice command from a user to update a parental control setting. The media guidance application may determine both what the requested change is and an age (or age range) of the user is who is attempting to change the parental control setting based on vocal characteristics of the voice command. If the media guidance application determines that an age range associated with the user exceeds an age associated with the requested change to the parental control setting, the media guidance application may update the parental control setting at a media device based on the requested change. Accordingly, the media guidance application may allow only users of appropriate ages to change parental control settings at the media device.

Claim (Index 69):
The system of  claim 62 , wherein the first parental control instruction is associated with a first parental control type, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:\n subsequent to determining that the age range of the user exceeds the age required to update the parental control setting at the media device, receive an audio input of a second plurality of words; determine a second parental control instruction associated with the second plurality of words, wherein the second parental control instruction is of the first parental control type, and wherein the second parental control instruction comprises a third parental control level; compare the second parental control instruction to the first parental control instruction to determine that the second parental control instruction and the first parental control instruction are both of the first parental control type; compare an age range associated with the audio input of the second plurality of words with the age range of the user to determine that the age range associated with the audio input of the second plurality of words is the same or exceeds the age range of the age range of the user; and based on determining that (1) the second parental control instruction and the first parental control instruction are both of the first parental control type and (2) the age range associated with the audio input of the second plurality of words is the same or exceeds the age range of the age range of the user, update the parental control setting at the media device from the first parental control level to the third parental control level.
