Abstract

Systems and methods may be provided to monitor media content on a monitored media device, including multimedia content, to determine whether the content is appropriate for the monitored device or devices, and to take action to remove, filter or otherwise block inappropriate content. The content monitored may include, for example, content such as audio content, video content, images, and text.

Claims (27)

1. A system for device monitoring, comprising:

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by one or more processing units that, when executed, cause the system to:

receive, from a monitored user device, derived data corresponding to flagged media content detected by the monitored user device;

analyze the derived data to determine if the flagged media content corresponding to the derived data exceeds one or more media content tolerance levels associated with the monitored device; and

transmit an alert to a second user device if the flagged media content is determined to exceed one or more media content tolerance levels.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein monitored media content comprises a screen capture of the monitored user device screen.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein monitored media content comprises one or more of: audio output on the monitored user device, extracted text, and manually inputted text.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processing units, further cause the system to receive media content from the monitored user device corresponding to the flagged media content.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the monitored device encrypts the media content prior to transmitting it to the server, such that the server is able to analyze data corresponding to the media content without accessing to the media content.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alert comprises flagged media content determined to exceed a media content tolerance level, such that the second user device is able to view the flagged media content.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processing units, further cause the system to receive, from the second user device, feedback comprising an indication as to whether the flagged media content constitutes inappropriate material according to standards of the user.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the feedback comprises an indication as to whether the flagged media content should have been flagged.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the feedback comprises an indication describing the flagged media content, wherein the indication is received from the second user device and comprising one or more of: a textual input describing characteristics of the captured media content; a rating of flagged media content; and a textual input reciting text information contained in the captured media content.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the rating corresponds to one or more of violence, sexual content, or language.

11. A method for device monitoring, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving, from a monitored user device, derived data corresponding to flagged media content detected by the monitored user device;

analyzing the derived data to determine if the flagged media content corresponding to the derived data exceeds one or more media content tolerance levels associated with the monitored device; and

transmitting an alert to a second user device if the flagged media content is determined to exceed one or more media content tolerance levels.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein monitored media content comprises a screen capture of the monitored user device screen.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein monitored media content comprises one or more of: audio output on the monitored user device, extracted text, and manually inputted text.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving media content from the monitored user device corresponding to the flagged media content.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the monitored device encrypts the media content prior to transmitting it to the server, such that the server is able to analyze data corresponding to the media content without accessing to the media content.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the alert comprises flagged media content determined to exceed a media content tolerance level, such that the second user device is able to view the flagged media content.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising receiving, from the second user device, feedback comprising an indication as to whether the flagged media content constitutes inappropriate material according to standards of the user.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the feedback comprises an indication as to whether the flagged media content should have been flagged.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the feedback comprises an indication describing the flagged media content, wherein the indication is received from the second user device and comprising one or more of: a textual input describing characteristics of the captured media content; a rating of flagged media content; a textual input reciting text information contained in the captured media content.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the rating corresponds to one or more of violence, sexual content, or language.
