Apple has an anti-sexting application for mobile phones, patented for these parents concerned about the texts that their children get (and in some cases).
The u.s. patent and Trademark Office approved the following Apple patent this month, originally posted back in 2008, allowing users to send or receive the "offensive" SMS on their mobile.
Communication control
The application is mentioned in the patent a "text-based communication control for personal communication device."
The patent describes that there are currently, "no way to monitor and control text communication is to let user need.For example, users such as children can send or receive messages (intentionally or not) with by objectionable language."
Apple's patent continues: "in an embodiment, the management application includes a parental. assesses The parental control application whether or not the communication approved on the basis of text contains, for example, objective ratings criteria or age of a user or grade level, and, if not-authorized, prevents such text is included in the communication of the text-based.
"If the control unauthorized contains text, the configuration of the application can warn the user, the administrator or other designated persons of the presence of such text. The configuration of the application require that the user be replaced the unauthorized or can automatically remove the text or the whole communication '.
Lesson to take from this? Look from children, your mother will soon know when you send naughty texts (so you'd better think of some smart words to use in place of the Naughty ones!).
