Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a device that can enforce time-based restrictions on the usage of an application, website, or device function. It receives a restriction from a user and encrypted data indicating the user's usage on another device.

If a violation is detected, the device sends a notification to the user informing them of the violation.
