  • Patent number: 11856260
    Abstract: A system for to monitor image input of a computing device having a control circuit with a programmable processor, and configured to receive images and to output the images to an image output device coupled to the computing device. The computing device can be configured to monitor the received images via the processor of the computing device being programmed using a Machine Learning Image Classification (MLIC) algorithm configured to determine a score of at least one received image within a predetermined criteria for classifying said at least one received image as a restricted subject image. Based on determination of the score, a modify or non-modify command is generated; and wherein in response to said at least one received image being scored by said processor within the modify criteria, the processor is programmed to generate a command to output the modified image.

  • Patent number: 11528205
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide systems and methods to monitor network communications, comprising: a computing device comprising a control circuit and memory with instructions executed by the control circuit to implement: a tunneled monitoring service (TMS) operated local on the mobile computing device; and a tunnel protocol within the mobile computing device that is configured to establish a tunnel interface between software applications and the TMS, wherein the tunnel interface is configured to collect output data transactions, communicated by the software applications, and direct the output data transactions to the TMS; wherein the TMS is configured to initiate a monitoring of each output data transaction relative to predefined criteria to identify relevant parameter information, obtained from one or more of the output data transactions, that have a predefined relationship with one or more of the criteria, and cause results of the monitoring relative to the criteria to be recorded.

  • Publication number: 20120303803
    Abstract: A system for monitoring Internet use of a selected computer user includes a remote server and a computer having a monitoring program voluntarily installed thereon by the user communicatively connected to the remote server. The monitoring program is configured to monitor various Internet access activity of the computer user and record the Internet access activity on the remote server. The Internet access activity includes access of at least one Internet protocol from the group consisting of newsgroups, file sharing programs, file transfer programs, chat rooms, peer to peer chats, and electronic mail activity. A method of using a monitoring system includes the steps of a computer user voluntarily installing a monitoring program on a selected computer, recording the Internet access activity, and providing the recorded information to a third party recipient. A report may be provided that includes a variety of information and may include a plurality of portions.
