Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for monitoring internet activity.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a simple yet
- wasteful activity can be curtailed or at least made apparent.
- monitoring device for use with internet access equipment comprising a
- sensor device operable to determine status of connection to the internet
- connection status modes whereby a different visual indication is given
- the visual indicator device may take any suitable form. In a
- different visual indications comprise different modes of illumination.
- These different modes may comprise, on and off modes, different colours,
- the illumination device may comprise a plurality of separately operable light sources, or a single source.
- the illumination device may comprise an upright structure with the
- each light source arranged to provide illumination through 360°
- connection status modes indicated by the visual indicator are the connection status modes indicated by the visual indicator
- connection modes whereby a 'suspect' web site is being accessed or
- a three light source In a particularly preferred embodiment, a three light source
- illumination device as mentioned above, is used to indicate three status
- the amber light may be illuminated alone in a stand by status, the amber light may
- the red light may
- the sensor device used to detect the connection status may take
- any suitable form In particular it may be of a software nature responsive
- the equipment to which the monitoring device is applied may be any one of the monitoring device.
- the monitoring device comprises a pc or any other suitable equipment.
- the monitoring device may operate solely to provide an indication
- connection status may be local to the equipment.
- remedial action may be initiated automatically e.g. by
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of one form of a
- Figure 2 is a block circuit diagram of the device of Figure 1 .
- Figure 1 shows a desk top pc 1 having a vdu monitor 2, a housed operating system 3 and a keyboard 4 and which is connected to the
- any suitable link 5 such as a modem and telephone line, or
- the pc 1 runs conventional internet software consisting of dial-up
- connection software 6 or other software depending on the nature of the
- An internet connection sensor 8 is provided and this may comprise
- connection hardware which may be internal or external to the pc.
- This sensor 8 responds to the operational status of the browser 7
- the senor 8 produces a stand-by signal output.
- the senor produces an 'unacceptable signal' output.
- This unit 9 comprises a base 10 with an upstanding generally
- cylindrical light structure 1 1 comprising three light sources 12, 13, 14 one on top of the other.
- Each light source comprises a centrally located lamp 15-17 within a
- diffusers 18-20 are respectively coloured green, amber, red upwards, in
- the unit 1 1 is connected by a lead 21 to the pc 1 so as to receive
- the unit 1 1 is also
- the stand-by signal causes only the bottom lamp 1 5 to
