Abstract
A method for providing a sensitive text alert includes monitoring a key selected on a keyboard of a computer system. The key selected is reported to a key-logger application executing on the computer system. The reported key selected is appended to a string file. At least one portion of the string file is compared to a database of sensitive words/phrases. An alert is generated when it is determined that the compared at least one portion of the string file matches an entry in the database of sensitive words/phrases. The generated alert is superimposed on a display device of the computer system.
Claims20
A method for providing a sensitive text alert, comprising:
- monitoring a key selected on a keyboard of a computer system;
- reporting the key selected to a key-logger application executing on the computer system;
- appending the reported key selected to a string file;
- comparing at least one portion of the string file to a database of sensitive words/phrases;
- generating an alert when it is determined that the compared at least one portion of the string file matches an entry in the database of sensitive words/phrases;
- and
- superimposing the generated alert on a display device of the computer system.
A system for providing a sensitive text alert, comprising:
- a keyboard input port for receiving a keyboard signal from a keyboard device;
- a logic unit for receiving the keyboard signal from the keyboard input port;
- a keyboard output port for passing the received keyboard signal from the keyboard input port to a computer system;
- a video input port for receiving a video signal from the computer system;
- and
- a video output port for passing the received video signal from the video input port to the video output port,
- wherein the logic unit is configured to compare the received keyboard signal to a database of sensitive words/phrases, determine when a match has been made between at least a portion of the received keyboard signal and an entry in the database of sensitive words/phrases, generate an alert when it is determined that a match has been made, and superimpose the generated alert over the received video signal before it is passed to the video output port.
A method for providing a sensitive text alert, comprising:
- monitoring key selection data on a custom on-screen keyboard installed on a mobile electronic device and transmitting the key selection data, from the custom on-screen keyboard, to a central server via an Internet connection maintained by the mobile electronic device;
- receiving an indication from the central server when the key selection data is determined to be a sensitive word/phrase;
- generating an alert when the indication is received;
- and
- displaying the generated alert on a display device of the mobile electronic device.
