Abstract: A system and method are provided for treating excessive or problematic computer use. In at least one embodiment, a method is employed to treat excessive or problematic computer use by acquiring information about the unwanted user activity, monitoring user activity for the unwanted behavior, controlling the behavior when it occurs, enabling the user to record self-observations and evaluating the results. This method may employ a computer based system to treat excessive or problematic computer use which includes configuring a user activity monitor with constraints, programmatically enforcing those constraints, reporting the activities monitored and restricted, and enabling a user to input self-observations. Potential constraints include a complete bar on the user activity, as well as, progressively decreasing the amount of time the user may engage in the activity, i.e. titrating the user activity.

Abstract: Systems and methods of device management are disclosed. Aspects relate to systems and methods that may be implemented to control usage of one or more devices. In one embodiment, a device management system includes a memory, an interface, at least one processor coupled to the memory and the interface, and a control component executable by the at least one processor and configured to determine, at a predetermined time, whether a connection exists between a managed device and the device management system via the interface, generate, in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time, a notification indicating that the connection does not exist, and transmit, in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time, a request to the managed device to restrict at least one function of the managed device.
