Mobile Operators
The proliferation of pornography across the Internet has long
been a concern for parents, businesses and even governments. Now
with the continuing advancements in cell phone technology the issue
has gone mobile. New high resolution displays, high capacity
storage, and ease of use is quickly making mobile phones the
preferred device for capturing, storing and sharing pornographic
media.
The pressure is increasing on mobile carriers and solution
providers to offer parental control services that can limit the
transmission of pornographic content to minors. The need to offer
an effective solution to the problem is critical to ensure the
continuing high levels of growth in mobile phone usage by under
18s.
Traditional internet filtering techniques (based on lexical
analysis or blacklists) are ineffective at identifying pornographic
MMS messages, as there is little or no data to work with other than
the image itself. An effective filtering technology needs to be
able to analyze the content of images and videos.
Image Analyzer allows mobile carriers and their third party
suppliers to add a powerful new service to their parental control
offering, complementing existing text limiting, safe surfing and
anti bullying solutions. The Image Analyzer technology can
accurately differentiate pornographic images from the mass of
non-pornographic images being sent via MMS on a daily basis. Once
the images have been identified as suspect the associated policy
engine can take the appropriate action such as alerting the parent.
The service provides visibility to parents who can then act as the
moderator for their child.
