Abstract

Distributing content markings includes receiving, from a first entity, marking content corresponding to Internet content and author presentation instructions associated with the marking content. When a request to view the Internet or marking content is received from a second entity, the received author presentation instructions are used to determine whether the second entity is approved to view marking content associated with the requested Internet content. Dependent on whether the second entity is approved to view the marking content, presentation of the information associated with the marking content concurrently with the requested Internet content is enabled.

Claims (43)

1. A computer-implemented system for distributing marking content, the system comprising:

a memory device that stores instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to perform a series of steps, including:

receiving, at a host server, an opt-in instruction set from an authoring entity, wherein the opt-in instruction set includes instructions for displaying marking content to viewers of a website;

receiving, at the host server, a request from a first user to receive content of the website;

transmitting, from the host server to the server of a digital entity, a request to view the website and marking content associated with the website;

in response to the server of the digital entity determining that the website does not pose a security risk to the first user,

receiving, at the host server from the server of the digital entity, the content of the website and a user authentication request including user opt-in preferences of the user;

receiving, at the host server, marking content automatically selected using the user opt-in preferences, the marking content including verification information of the authenticity of the website and a security note associated with at least one of the website and the user;

displaying the content of the website including the user authentication request in a first graphical window of the website; and

displaying the selected marking content including the verification information in a second graphical window of the website, the separate second graphical window further configured to display i) the security note, ii) information regarding the website security risk determination, and iii) the verification information verifying the authenticity of the website.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more marking content is configured with presentation instructions.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 2 , wherein the presentation instructions include instructions for approving the viewing of the one or more marking content by one or more users.

4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more marking content has one or more associated tags.

5. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more marking content has one or more associated keywords.

6. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the security note includes an author identifier.

7. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the security note includes an online presence information for the author identifier.

8. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the security note includes a body comprising at least one of text, media, or interactive content.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set or instructions for distributing marking content, the instructions, when executed by a processor, performing a series of operations, including:

receiving, at a host server, an opt-in instruction set from an authoring entity, wherein the opt-in instruction set includes instructions for displaying marking content to viewers of a website;

receiving, at the host server, a request from a first user to receive content of the website;

transmitting, from the host server to the server of a digital entity, a request to view the website and marking content associated with the website;

in response to the server of the digital entity determining that the website does not pose a security risk to the first user,

receiving, at the host server from the server of the digital entity, the content of the website and a user authentication request including user opt-in preferences of the user;

receiving, at the host server, marking content automatically selected using the user opt-in preferences, the marking content including verification information of the authenticity of the website and a security note associated with at least one of the website and the user;

displaying the content of the website including the user authentication request in a first graphical window of the website; and

displaying the selected marking content including the verification information in a second graphical window of the website, the separate second graphical window further configured to display i) the security note, ii) information regarding the website security risk determination, and iii) the verification information verifying the authenticity of the website.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more marking content is configured with presentation instructions.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the presentation instructions include instructions for approving the viewing of the one or more marking content by one or more users.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more marking content has one or more associated tags.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more marking content has one or more associated keywords.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the security note includes an author identifier.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the security note includes an online presence information for the author identifier.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the security note includes a body comprising at least one of text, media, or interactive content.

17. A computer-implemented method for distributing marking content, comprising:

receiving, at a host server, an opt-in instruction set from an authoring entity, wherein the opt-in instruction set includes instructions for displaying marking content to viewers of a website;

receiving, at the host server, a request from a first user to receive content of the website;

transmitting, from the host server to the server of a digital entity, a request to view the website and marking content associated with the website;

in response to the server of the digital entity determining that the website does not pose a security risk to the first user,

receiving, at the host server from the server of the digital entity, the content of the website and a user authentication request including user opt-in preferences of the user;

receiving, at the host server, marking content automatically selected using user opt-in preferences, the marking content including verification information of the authenticity of the website and a security note associated with at least one of the website and the user;

displaying the content of the website including the user authentication request in a first graphical window of the website; and

displaying the selected marking content, including the verification information in a second graphical window of the website, the separate second graphical window further configured to display i) the security note, ii) information regarding the website security risk determination, and iii) the verification information verifying the authenticity of the website.
