Abstract
Video of players is used to monitor them while they are playing online games. Each player utilizes a user terminal that includes a camera. Video, such as a player's face, from each camera is sent during game play to an observer system that includes a monitor. An observer can view players' faces using the monitor in connection with the observer making decisions related to players' behaviors and ages in order to regulate player online game play. Players are able to generate reports regarding other players' behaviors and appearances, which are sent to the controller, for review by the observer. Information related to a player's behavior and/or appearance could also be automatically generated using a player's video.
