Web TV

KIDO’Z v1.0 (http://www.kidoz.net) is a safe and easy-to-use Kid’s Web Environment that brings children between the ages of 3-7 years the best and most relevant children’s web-based content accessed through a graphical, child-friendly user interface.

The KIDO'Z Kid's Web Environment is the safe, easy way for young kids to surf sites, watch videos and play games - all in a child-friendly, protected environment, using content that is customized for them, and enhanced and approved by the parents.

KIDO’Z is a hub of both KIDO’Z generated content and parent-generated content (in over 160 languages) which allows parents, through the password-protected Control Panel, to personalize content according to differing variables pertaining to their child, such as age, language, interests, gender, nationality. All content is moderated and pre-approved by the KIDO’Z Team. The graphical, interactive user interface is designed to be used by young children and is available in 17 different languages.

What make KIDO’Z unique, amongst other key features, are its Smart Content Engine, Graphical User Interface and Active Protection System that allows for parental content customization as well as automatic demographic personalization within a secure, interactive setting.

These tools are easily accessed and adjusted by parents through the password-protected Parental Control Account.

Smart Content Engine

KIDO'Z recognizes the uniqueness of each child and appreciates the need for personalization by parents.

Parents are able to easily create their child's KIDO'Z experience by:

• Uploading new videos (using the Youtube video-search capability) and websites

• Selecting user-interface language – the application is currently available in 17 languages: English, German, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Czech, Dutch, Swedish, Turkish, Polish

• Customizing child’s content according to age, gender, languages (from a list of over 160 languages), and nationality
• Enhancing security settings
• Allowing/blocking any content
• Rating content using Content Review System
• Sharing parent-generated content with other users (this is optional) to create a Community of parental content

Graphical User Interface

The child-friendly and colorful user interface makes using KIDO'Z a simple and entertaining experience for children. Young children can now have access to the magic of the Internet and its resources without needing to know how to read or write.

Children can safely explore an endless amount of sites, games and videos and can get, with one simple click of a mouse, to the top kids’ content that can be found.

The user interface replaces words and text with rich, graphical imagery that allows the young child to use the application independently. KIDO’Z is also optimized for netbooks and touchscreens, making the user experience even more interactive.

Children have access to the following categories that are displayed as graphical images:

• KIDO'Z BROWSER – a huge supply of the top children’s websites

• KIDO'Z TV – pre-approved Youtube videos especially for children
• KIDO'Z GAME CENTER – fun and interactive children’s’ games
• MY CONTENT – easy access to private parent-generated content
• FAVORITES MANAGEMENT - all favorite content can be easily added to one central location.  Kids can add any content as a favorite and then find this content just as easily by clicking on the Favorites image

Active Protection System

Internet safety and security for children is the core concern of the KIDO'Z platform.

KIDO’Z is a safe, protected environment that gives children access to the latest and greatest approved kids' content.  From password-protected Parental Control, to KIDO'Z moderated and pre-approved content, KIDO'Z provides for unparalleled child safety and parental peace-of-mind.

The system blocks links, scripts and any other attempts that lead to sites and content that have not been approved, preventing them from being viewed by the children.

There are also various ways in which a parent can enhance the security settings:

• Parents have the option of allowing all public content unless they explicitly block it, or to allow only content that they explicitly authorize
• Parents can opt to allow all content or to limit content to that which is relevant to their child’s age group
• The Parental Control Account is accessed only with a parental password
• There is an option to block exit from the application with the parental password to ensure that the child remains safely within the KIDO’Z environment
• Daily Usage Settings allow the parent to set the maximum daily usage time and the daily time frame during which the child is allowed to use KIDO’Z

Each time a new version of KIDO'Z is released, the downloaded KIDO'Z application will be automatically updated to bring users the latest KIDO'Z features.

The KIDO'Z Kid's Web Environment is designed to be easy to use - it's plug-and-play, has a rich graphical interface appropriate for young children, and comes set-up with pre-loaded default settings.

There is nothing complicated about installing and using KIDO'Z – users simply download, register and the system is ready to be enjoyed.
