Abstract(in English) For today's children, the Internet is one of the most familiar and useful information media. However, the Internet sometimes can provide information harmful to the children. Guardians need to watch their children's use of the Internet to avoid potential risks of contact with harmful information. On the other hand, we have to consider the children's privacy in communication. In this paper, we propose an Internet watchdog system which operates in every child's PC connected to the Internet. The watchdog system always checks the Internet access by Ethernet packet capturing, and samples the words from the downloaded texts such as Web pages. The collected words are immediately compared with the system's dictionaries of different categories, and then children's Internet access tendency is analyzed. This summary of analysis is periodically reported to the guardians via e-mail. We have implemented the Internet watchdog system on the Windows platform, and evaluated the overhead for packet capturing and access tendency analysis.
