Platform for internet based real-time communication content selection

Abstract

A method of monitoring real-time communication on a computer network between at least two client computers connected by the network comprising first providing a database of keywords, with each of the keywords linked to a predefined rating. The method then includes monitoring real-time communication on a computer network between at least two client computers connected by the network; detecting the keywords in the real-time communication; and determining for the real-time communication a rating level based upon the predefined rating of the keywords. The keyword may consist of text, audio, video and graphical communication, for example. Preferably, the rating level of the real-time communication is conveyed to at least one of the client computers. More preferably, at least one additional client computer receives the real-time communication, and the rating level of the real-time communication is conveyed to the at least one additional client computer. Determination of the rating level for the real-time communication may occur simultaneously with the real-time communication, and may be based on evaluation of individual ratings of a plurality of different keywords. The method may further include terminating the real-time communication of at least one of the client computers based upon the rating level.
