ABSTRACT:
An adaptive multidimensional media asset rating system and method for selective play of a media asset includes an N-dimensional rating vector encoded into the leader portion or meta-data portion of a media asset. This N dimensional rating vector has a magnitude value for each of the N dimensions and is assigned to each asset by the asset producer. A user programmable asset filter system, responsive to the encoded vector, is incorporated into or added on to the media asset playing device. The rating vector is then read from the asset by the filter system in or connected to the media asset playing device such as a TV, videotape recorder/player, radio receiver CD player, or other reception device prior to processing the asset for viewing. The user programs into the filter system coupled to the asset player or reception device a threshold N dimensional preference vector which has a magnitude value for each of the N dimensions. The reception or playing device uses the filter system to block or play the incoming asset based on comparison of the preference vector to the rating vector.
