Abstract

A computerized methods and systems to create, control and manage restricted scope and closed internet interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks. The invention permits the protected network, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks to be connected to an open or previously established network, yet still remaining protected, secure and anonymous. Entrance into the protected interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks by the user is achieved through a protected network device, anonymous address code, anonymous access code and/or anonymous login information. As the user interacts with the digital elements within the protected interactive networks, subnetworks and sub-subnetworks, a database of said interactions is created and used by the protected network provider in various ways, such as for user behavior information. No personal identifiable information is stored within interactive networks, subnetworks and/or sub-subnetworks and communication on said networks is unique, which inhibits and deters the targeting of the networks by cyber-criminals.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software instructions that are executable to perform operations comprising:

a creation of a protected subnetwork that can be accessed anonymously by a user via a subnetwork protected device having an anonymous code associated to the subnetwork protected device, wherein said protected subnetwork is connected to a pre-existing network, the software enables the subnetwork protected device to be verified by a protected network reader;

upon verification of authenticity the software allows the user access to the subnetwork and digital elements, anonymously storing and tracking all user interactions with the digital elements by the anonymous code within the protected subnetwork, wherein said digital elements is any digital code that conveys meaning and is defined as relating to meaning in language and logic, thereafter providing the user of the subnetwork protected device with multiple anonymous codes, the multiple anonymous codes being distributed to other new users in order to access a protected sub-subnetwork via multiple protected sub-subnetwork devices and interactions with digital elements.

2. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions enable the creation of the protected sub-subnetwork that is connected to the subnetwork that can be accessed by a sub-subnetwork protected device.

3. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions allow a network provider to search the protected subnetwork and the protected sub-subnetwork for all subnetwork and sub-subnetwork protected device interactions with a digital element and generate a list of anonymous address codes of said interactions.

4. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions allow access to the protected subnetwork through an anonymous access code.

5. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions allow access to the protected subnetwork through an anonymous address code.

6. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions allow access to the protected subnetwork through the anonymous code, the anonymous code being a user created anonymous user name and password.

7. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said software instructions allow a network provider to enter a protected network database or the reader and deny access to the subnetwork.

8. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said digital element interactions by the user are stored in a digital element library database for interaction search purposes.

9. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein said protected sub-network is not connected to the pre-existing network.

10. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one digital element that is unique to the network is inserted into a communication code for communication between a network provider and a possessor of a subnetwork protected device.

18. The medium as recited in claim 1, wherein the digital interactions are continuously updated and stored in the digital element library database.

11. A system, comprising:

a server computer storing software instructions enabling a connectivity between a pre-existing internet network, a protected subnetwork and a protected sub-subnetwork, the software instructions allowing a possessor of a subnetwork protected device to anonymously enter the protected subnetwork via an anonymous code, upon verification of authenticity the software allows the possessor to interact with digital elements, anonymously storing and tracking all possessor interactions with the digital elements by the anonymous code;

thereafter providing the possessor of the subnetwork protected device with multiple anonymous codes, the multiple anonymous codes being distributed to other new possessors in order to access the protected sub-subnetwork via multiple protected sub-subnetwork devices and interact with digital elements.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the protected subnetwork and the protected sub-subnetwork are accessible via an anonymous access code.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the protected subnetwork and the protected sub-subnetwork are accessible via an anonymous address code.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the protected subnetwork and the protected sub-subnetwork are accessible via the anonymous code, wherein the anonymous code is a one-time use code and the possessor is prompted to create an anonymous username and password.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein communication between a protected network provider and the possessor of the subnetwork protected device is accomplished by inserting at least one digital element that is unique to the system into a communication code.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein all possessor interactions with the digital elements on the protected subnetwork and protected sub-subnetwork are stored in a database.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the digital elements on the protected subnetwork and protected sub-subnetwork are input by a network provider and stored in a digital element library database.
