WEBSITE ACCESS CONTROL
First Claim
1. A website filter comprising:
- an input configured to receive an address of content to be accessed;
a processor configured to obtain similarity of the address to previously labeled addresses of other content items, where the similarity is based on co-occurrence of addresses of content items in records of browsing sessions from many consenting users, a browsing session record comprising addresses of content items accessed by a given user in a time period during which the given user is actively accessing content, a co-occurrence of addresses of content items being the existence of the addresses in the same browsing session record; and
an output configured to control access to the content to be accessed on the basis of the similarity.

Abstract
A method of controlling access to content such as web sites on the intranet or interne is described. For example, the method comprises receiving an address of content to be accessed and obtaining similarity of the address to previously labeled addresses of other content items. The similarity is based on co-occurrence of addresses of content items in records of browsing sessions from many consenting users. For example, a browsing session record comprises addresses of content items accessed by a user in a time period during which the user is actively accessing content. A co-occurrence of addresses of content items is the existence of the addresses in the same browsing session record. Access to the content is then controlled on the basis of the similarity.
