First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for removing a potentially objectionable content item from distribution over a network, the method comprising:
- providing an interface over the network allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users;
allowing one or more of the plurality of users to provide an indication of objection to the first content item via the interface;
receiving one or more indications of objection from one or more of the plurality of users that access the first content item;
determining an objecting percentage of the users that access the first content item that provide an indication of objection;
flagging the first content item for manual review when the objecting percentage meets a first threshold percentage; and
automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when the objecting percentage meets a second threshold percentage and the total number of instances of access of the first content item meets a third threshold number.

Abstract
A system and method for distribution of one or more content items to one or more users over a network, such as the Internet. One or more users that access a content item may provide an indication of objection to the content item. The content item may be flagged for manual review when a first threshold percentage of indications of objection is met. The content item is automatically removed from distribution when a second threshold percentage of indications of objection is met and a threshold number of instances of access is met.

16. A computer-implemented method for removing a potentially objectionable content item from distribution via a network interface, the method comprising:
-
providing access to a first content item via an interface over the network; recording information corresponding to each instance of access of the first content item; receiving one or more indications of objection to the first content item; determining an objecting percentage of the instances of access that involve a corresponding indication of objection; flagging the first content item for manual review when the objecting percentage meets a first threshold percentage; and automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when the objecting percentage meets a second threshold percentage and a total number of instances of access meets a third threshold number.

17. A machine-readable medium containing machine executable instructions implementing a method for removing a potentially objectionable content item from distribution via a network interface, the instructions comprising:
-
a set of instructions for providing an interface over the network allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users; a set of instructions for allowing one or more of the plurality of users to provide an indication of objection to the first content item via the interface; a set of instructions for receiving one or more indications of objection from one or more of the plurality of users that access the first content item; a set of instructions for determining an objecting percentage of the users that access the first content item that provide an indication of objection; a set of instructions for flagging the first content item for manual review when the objecting percentage meets a first threshold percentage; and a set of instructions for automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when the objecting percentage meets a second threshold percentage and the total number of instances of access of the first content item meets a third threshold number. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system for removing a potentially objectionable content item from distribution via a network interface, the system comprising:
-
means for providing an interface over the network allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users; means for allowing one or more of the plurality of users to provide an indication of objection to the first content item via the interface; means for receiving one or more indications of objection from one or more of the plurality of users that access the first content item; means for determining an objecting percentage of the users that access the first content item that provide an indication of objection; means for flagging the first content item for manual review when the objecting percentage meets a first threshold percentage; and means for automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when the objecting percentage meets a second threshold percentage and the total number of instances of access of the first content item meets a third threshold number.

26. A computer-implemented method for removing a content item from distribution over a network, the method comprising:
-
providing an interface over the network allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users; allowing one or more of the plurality of users to provide an indication of negative feedback to the first content item via the interface; flagging the first content item for manual review when a first threshold percentage of users that have accessed the first content item provide an indication of negative feedback to the first content item; and automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when a second threshold percentage of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback and a first threshold number of instances of access of the first content item is met.

27. A computer-implemented method for removing a content item from distribution over a network, the method comprising:
-
providing an interface over the network allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users; allowing one or more of the plurality of users to provide an indication of negative feedback to the first content item via the interface; flagging the first content item for manual review when a first threshold percentage of users that have accessed the first content item provide an indication of negative feedback to the first content item; and automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when a second threshold percentage of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback and a first threshold number of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback.

28. A method for pulling a content item from distribution over the Internet, the method comprising:
-
providing an interface over the Internet allowing access to a first content item to a plurality of users; allowing the plurality of users to provide an indication of negative feedback via the interface, the indication representing an individual user'"'"'s negative reaction to the first content item; flagging the first content item for manual review when a first percentage of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback; and automatically removing the first content item from distribution via the interface when a second percentage of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback and a first threshold number of users that access the first content item provide the indication of negative feedback, wherein the second percentage is greater than the first percentage.
