Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de mettre en oeuvre un contrôle parental lors de l'exploration de l'Internet au moyen d'un ordinateur. Ledit procédé comprend les étapes consistant: (a) à utiliser une application de contrôle parental; (b) à utiliser plusieurs configurations dans ladite application de contrôle parental, chaque configuration comprenant des restrictions prédéfinies d'accès à des sites Internet ou à des pages Web; (c) à utiliser au moins deux souris, chaque souris possédant son identificateur (ID) unique; (d) à associer à chaque souris une ou plusieurs desdites configurations; (e) à activer ladite application de contrôle parental lors de l'utilisation de l'ordinateur pour l'exploration de l'Internet; (f) à récupérer, au moyen de ladite application, l'ID de la souris connectée; et (g) à activer au moyen de ladite application la configuration associée à l'ID de ladite souris, et à activer ainsi ses restrictions d'accès à Internet correspondantes. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la souris est la souris d'ordinateur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la souris est un module d'identification de l'utilisateur.
