ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, improved techniques for monitoring and managing access and activity at individual devices in a networked environment. Specific embodiments can provide individual and workplace productivity enhancement through self-regulation enforced by peer-group monitoring of network and application usage. In accordance with the specific embodiments of the present invention, techniques that reveal activity of individual users at any device, such as a computer telephone, or other device, within the network environment can be used to analyze flows of information within an enterprise, workplace productivity, network security and other applications in enterprises, including business entities, technical entities, and governmental entities. Specific embodiments provide systems, methods, computer programs and apparatus for monitoring activity at networked entities, such as individual devices, computers, other devices, or other networked computing entities. The information obtained from such monitoring can be used to populate databases, for example. Further, or in the alternative, specific embodiments include analyzing the information, and sharing the information with one or more networked computers and/or with other computational entities locally or remotely connectable with the network. Specific embodiments can have a broad range of functionality in a variety of business, technical and governmental applications.
