Abstract: A dialogue analyzer configured to identify online communications relating to lewd, predatory, hostile, and/or otherwise inappropriate subject matter is disclosed. Identified communications include those occurring via social networks, instant messaging, online chat rooms, computer in-game chat, email and the like. The communications of a monitored computer user are scanned to identify those communications that match predetermined lexical rules. The rules comprise sets of word-concepts that may be associated based on spelling, sound, meaning, appearance or probability of appearance in a text string, etc. Various numbers and configurations of word concepts may be implemented in a rule in order to more accurately scan the online communication data for a potential match. When a match is found, a copy of the communication, along with contextual information, is presented to a parent or guardian user. This information is presented at a central website and via an email notification to the parent or guardian.
