Abstract

Publishing of a message that is free of prohibited or restricted content by a message publishing system that is provided with criteria concerning acceptable content. A message is received at the message publishing system, is processed by a processor to detect any prohibited or restricted items in the message which are outside of the criteria of the acceptable content, and the prohibited or restricted content is removed in response to the detection of the prohibited or restricted items in the message. Either the message or only a remainder of the message which is free of the prohibited or restricted content is published in accordance with the criteria provided to the message publishing system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A method for publishing a message portion that is free of a prohibited or restricted content, comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing criteria to the message publishing system concerning acceptable content;   (b) receiving a message for publication at a message publishing system;   (c) processing the message with a processor at the message publishing system to detect any prohibited or restricted items in the message which are outside of the criteria of the acceptable content;   (d) responding to the detection of the prohibited or restricted items in the message by using the processor to remove the prohibited or restricted content; and   (e) selectively publishing (a) the message or (b) only a remainder of the message which is free of the prohibited or restricted content, in accordance with the criteria provided to the message publishing system.   
     
     
         2 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the responding step is done automatically in response to the action of the processor detecting the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         3 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the processing step comprises executing optical-recognition software to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         4 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the processing step comprises image-processing to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         5 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the processing step comprises pattern recognition to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         6 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the processing step comprises speech recognition to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         7 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the criteria provided to the message publishing system concerning acceptable content is dependent on a user of the message publishing system. 
     
     
         8 . The method as in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 receiving a request from the user for the message,   retrieving the message from a storage area; and   publishing either the message or only the remainder of the message to the user over a network in accordance with the criteria provided to the message publishing system.   
     
     
         9 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the responding step is done automatically in response to the action of the processor detecting the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         10 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the processing step comprises executing optical recognition software to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         11 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the processing step comprises image-processing to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         12 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the processing step comprises pattern recognition to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message. 
     
     
         13 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the processing step comprises speech recognition to detect the prohibited or restricted items in the message.
