Abstract

The present invention discloses a computer system for reporting online sessions and a computer enabled method utilizing the same. The computer system is made up of an icon that preferably appears on a user screen. The icon is capable of capturing a screen session on the user screen and saving it within a recording. The recording may then be communicated to a database server that is capable of extracting a plurality of target components from said recording, and is capable of storing them in a database. The database may contain a benchmark content of the plurality of target components. Target components may then be compared against the benchmark content in a variety of ways to determine whether the level of target components is above or below reasonable and socially accepted levels.

Claims

1. A computer system for reporting online sessions comprising:

an icon, said icon appearing on a user screen;

said icon capable of capturing a screen session on said user screen into a recording;

a database server, said database server capable of extracting a plurality of target components from said recording;

a database;

said database capable of storing said plurality of target components;

and said database having a benchmark content of said plurality of target components.

2. The computer system of claim 1, further comprising a relay server, wherein said icon capable of communicating said recording to said relay server.

3. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said user screen is a user device.

4. The computer system of claim 2, wherein said relay server is capable of converting said recording into a searchable format;

5. The computer system of claim 2, wherein said database server capable of extracting a plurality of target components from said searchable format.

6. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said plurality of target components is character strings.

7. The computer system of claim 2, wherein said plurality of target components is character strings.

8. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said plurality of target components is an object.

9. The computer system of claim 1, further comprising a data mining module, said data mining module capable of comparing said plurality of target components against said benchmark content to determine a level of violation.

10. The computer system according to claims 8, wherein said plurality of target components are taken from a group comprised of an address, a set of keywords, an internet protocol address, a user or a screen name, speech pattern, or any combination thereof.

11. The computer system of claim 1, further comprising a search module, said search module capable of searching said database.

12. A computer enabled method for reporting online sessions comprising the steps of:

activating an icon on a user computer system;

utilizing said icon to capture a screen session on a user device;

sending said captured screen session to a remote database having a benchmark content; and

comparing contents of said captured screen session against said benchmark content

13. The computer enabled method of claim 12, further comprising the steps of capturing a user session on said user device into a recording;

communicating said recording to a relay server;

delimiting said recording into a plurality of target components; and

comparing said plurality of target components against said benchmark content.

14. The computer enabled method of claim 12, further comprising the step of storing said recording within said database.

15. The computer enabled method of claim 13, further comprising the step of integrating said plurality of target components into said benchmark content.

16. The computer enabled method of claim 13, further comprising the step of determining a level of violation.

17. The computer enabled method of claim 16, further comprising a step of corroborating said level of violation using a human screener.

18. The computer enabled method of claim 16, further comprising the step of notifying third parties of said level of violation.

19. The computer enabled method of claim 12, further comprising the step of granting search access to said database to third parties.

20. A computer enabled method for reporting online sessions comprising the steps of:

activating an icon on a user device;

utilizing said icon to capture a screen session on said user computer system within a recording;

communicating said recording to a relay server;

delimiting said recording into a plurality of target components;

uploading said plurality of target components onto a data storage system having a benchmark content;

utilizing a data mining module to compare said plurality of target components against said benchmark content; and

determining a level of violation by said plurality of target components.

21. The computer enabled method of claim 20, further comprising the step of reporting said level of violation to third parties.

22. The computer enabled method of claim 20, further comprising the step of granting search access to said database to third parties.
