ABSTRACT:
A method for limiting Internet access via the World Wide Web is disclosed. The method may be used to help provide a safe Internet experience for children, to help enforce business practices with respect to the World Wide Web, and analogous purposes. Rather than relying on lists or content filtering, which can provide an unnatural and/or ineffective browsing experience, the method instead allows a computer owner or administrator to specify a “Navigation Boundary”, similar in nature to a fence, with respect to a particular domain, and subsequently allow browser navigation only within that boundary. The boundary substantially follows the “hyperlink contours” of the domain, and thus is deterministic in nature, such that users do not substantially experience the effect of randomly being denied access to a site. Additionally, the user may graphically view his or her location with respect to the boundary.
