| 20080301242 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING CHAT CONTENT - Provided is a method for ensuring the privacy of communication during a computer chat session. The claimed subject matter enables each participant of a chat session to choose whether or not to allow other participants to save, print or archive the text of the session. At the beginning of or during a chat session, a particular participant decides that the chat session should be private. The participant transmits a message indicating the desire to make the chat session private. Each participant receives a pop-up message that communicates the privacy request and is provided the option of accepting or declining the request. If a sufficient number of participants accept the request, programming logic that blocks any attempt to save the chat content to memory is executed with respect to the chat session. Different chat sessions may be configured with different options such as, but not limited to, inclusive and non-inclusive. | 12-04-2008 |
