There
is finally some good news for all those viewers who are sick and tired
of coming across spoilers of their favorite TV shows which take over
social media. Tech giant Google has been awarded a new ‘anti-spoiler’
patent via which, a system would track the TV show or movie you are
viewing in progress and filter out all the information on what you have
not watched, yet.
According
to a report by Time, the new patent does not talk about what sites the
system would filter out, for example Facebook or Twitter. This idea
comes to Google as many customers are now opting for on-demand streaming
services such as Netflix over the traditional cable subscriptions.
Also, people get annoyed at the fact that these streaming models put up
entire seasons online at once which in fact, promotes viewers to
purposely leak out spoilers.
The
report points out that there isn’t a reason to be happy just yet, as
large companies such as Google aren’t required to turn a patented
technology into reality. Even if they make the attempt, it would
probably take many years. But we sure hope, they can get this sorted.
At
the moment, online streaming content is growing rapidly and will only
continue to grow as many viewers are flocking towards online video
streaming content, including many advertisers. At this point, it would
be a good idea for Google’s ‘spoiler blocker’ as it would curb down
spoilers online.
