Abstract

A system and method for moderating child interaction in a networked community by a supervisor that includes monitoring interactions of a child within a first environment; selecting a child interaction that satisfies a notification parameter of the supervisor; and sending a notification to the supervisor within a second environment with information associated with the selected interaction.

Claims

1. A method for moderating child interaction in a networked community by a supervisor comprising:

monitoring interactions of a child within a first environment;

selecting a child interaction that satisfies a notification parameter of the supervisor; and

sending a notification to the supervisor within a second environment with information associated with the selected interaction.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein monitoring interactions includes monitoring interactions of the contacts of the child within the networked community.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein monitoring contacts of the child further comprises:

identifying patterns of children interactions; and

selecting a set of interactions that exhibit a pattern of interest.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the patterns of children interactions is a temporal based pattern.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the child and the contacts of the child each have an associated reputation parameter;

and further comprising altering at least one reputation parameter based on the identified pattern of children interaction.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein altering the at least one reputation parameter comprises negatively altering the at least one reputation parameter, and further comprising positively altering the at least one reputation parameter after a conditional period of time.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first environment is accessed through a first communication protocol and the second environment is accessed through a second communication protocol.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first environment is a website accessed through the first communication protocol that is a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and wherein the second communication protocol is short message service (SMS).

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a response input interface with the notification.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving a supervisor response action; and

performing an action within the networked community associated with the supervisor response action.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the notification parameter contains a threshold, wherein the child interaction is selected if the threshold is satisfied.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising modifying the threshold of the notification parameter based on the supervisor response action.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the child has an associated reputation parameter;

and further comprising negatively altering the reputation parameter if the supervisor response action is negative; and

positively altering the reputation parameter if the supervisor response action is positive.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein performing an action includes rewarding the child if the supervisor response action is positive and penalizing the child if the supervisor response actions is negative.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein performing an action includes editing content associated with the child interaction.

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving customization of the notification parameter from the supervisor.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the notification parameter is a time-based rule that selects interactions based on timing attributes of the interaction.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the notification parameter is a content based rule that selects interactions based on content associated with the interaction.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the notification parameter is a contact based rule that selects child interactions associated with a defined contact.

20. A system for moderating child interaction in a networked community by a supervisor comprising:

an interaction monitoring system integrated with the networked community;

an interaction filter that selects an interaction based on notification parameters;

a supervisor notification system that communicates a notification to an environment of the supervisor for a selected interaction;

wherein the notification describes the interaction and includes a response input interface; and

a regulating engine that receives a response action communicated through the supervisor notification system and performs a response action associated with the response action within the networked community.
