Monitoring digital images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of monitoring digital images comprising:
- receiving a first identity from a user;
enabling the first user to access to a digital image while operating under the first user identity on a server;
receiving by the server a notification associated with the digital image from the first user while operating under the first user identity;
regulating access by the server of the first user for subsequent access, while operating under the first user identity, to the digital image based on the notification received from the first user;
initiating, by the server, an investigation of the digital image based on the notification received from the first user wherein the investigation is initiated after receiving a number of notifications from multiple users exceeding a predetermined threshold; and
assigning a level to the digital image corresponding to a degree of offensiveness of the digital image by the investigation.

1. A method of monitoring digital images comprising:
-
receiving a first identity from a user; enabling the first user to access to a digital image while operating under the first user identity on a server; receiving by the server a notification associated with the digital image from the first user while operating under the first user identity; regulating access by the server of the first user for subsequent access, while operating under the first user identity, to the digital image based on the notification received from the first user; initiating, by the server, an investigation of the digital image based on the notification received from the first user wherein the investigation is initiated after receiving a number of notifications from multiple users exceeding a predetermined threshold; and assigning a level to the digital image corresponding to a degree of offensiveness of the digital image by the investigation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, comprising instructions for:
-
receiving a first identity from a user; enabling the first user to access a digital image while operating under the first user identity on a server; receiving by the server a notification associated with the digital image from the first user while operating under the first user identity; regulating access by the server of the first user for subsequent access, while operating under the first user identity, to the digital image based on the notification received from the first user; initiating, by the server, an investigation of the digital image based on the notification received from the first user wherein the investigation is initiated after receiving a number of notifications from multiple users exceeding a predetermined threshold; and assigning a level to the digital image corresponding to a degree of offensiveness of the digital image by the investigation. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)

63. A system for monitoring digital images comprising:
-
means for receiving a first identity from a user; means for enabling the first user to access a digital image while operating under the first user identity on a server; means for receiving by the server a notification associated with the digital image, while operating under the first user identity; means for regulating access by the server of the first user for subsequent access, while operating under the first user identity, to the digital image based on the notification received from the first user; means for initiating, by the server, an investigation of the digital image based on the notification received from the first user wherein the investigation is initiated after receiving a number of notifications from multiple users exceeding a predetermined threshold; and means for assigning a level to the digital image corresponding to a degree of offensiveness of the digital image by the investigation. - View Dependent Claims (64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91)

92. A method of monitoring digital images, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first user identity from a first user; enabling the first user, while operating under the first user identity on a server, to; navigate to electronic content; perceive the electronic content after navigation to the electronic content; provide feedback regarding the acceptability of the electronic content; preventing the first user, while operating under the first identity, to perceive the electronic content in subsequent navigations based on the feedback provided by the first user; initiating, by the server, an investigation of the digital image based on the notification received from the first user wherein the investigation is initiated after receiving a number of notifications from multiple users exceeding a predetermined threshold; and assigning a level to the digital image corresponding to a degree of offensiveness of the digital image by the investigation. - View Dependent Claims (93, 94)
