Each of us has a friend who always says: "I've already seen this movie. There, at the end of the main character they kill. " Such statements are popularly called "spoilers" when one person tells another the details of a work, deliberately or accidentally revealing important story details, thereby depriving the interlocutor of the pleasure of personal acquaintance with the film, book, game or television series. It seems that Google is seriously concerned about this phenomenon, as they have patented a way to fight with fans "spoiler".
The new patent of the search giant was noticed by employees of the portal Quartz. The patent briefly describes the principle of the operation of some kind of intellectual system, which can potentially be built into any social network like Facebook or VKontakte. Its essence lies in the fact that users mark books and films with which they are going to get acquainted in the near future or have already read / checked through. In the case of serials, a person notices already viewed series.
After activating the protection from spoilers, the smart system automatically finds and hides from you messages from people that contain information about movies, books and TV show series that you have not yet reached. In case the system detects a hint of spoiler in the message, it covers it with the blur effect. In this case, you can remove this protection and read messages bypassing the system at any time. It seems that if this system finds application in social networks, amateurs to spoil other people's impressions of different kinds of works will live a little more difficult.
