Method, system and apparatus for monitoring and controlling internet site content access

摘要

A disclosed system comprises user sites with monitor devices that report uncategorized content sites requested by users to a master site via an external network such as “the Internet.” The master site administers categorization of content sites, which is carried out by an unknown site reviewer. The master site transmits the resulting site categorization data to the monitor devices. The monitor devices use this data for subsequent user requests to determine categories of content sites requested by users. The monitor device further determines whether users are authorized to access content sites according usage policies established for the users sites.
