Public BOT management in private networks

摘要

A system for managing the use of BOTs by computer network users, the system including a gateway-to-BOT communications manager configured to relay communications to a BOT on behalf of a computer user in a manner that prevents the BOT from associating the communications with the computer user, and a gateway-to-user communications manager configured to relay the communications from the computer user to the gateway-to-BOT communications manager, and relay to the computer user communications received from the gateway-to-BOT communications manager that originate from the BOT.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for managing the use of computer services by computer users comprising:
receiving at a network device associated with one or more real computer users a request from a real computer user associated with the network device; determining a fictitious user other than the one or more real computer users and generating information associated with the fictitious user; sending a communication from the network device to a computer service on behalf of the real computer user providing the request using the information associated with the fictitious user, wherein the communication is identified as originating from the fictitious user and prevents the computer service from associating the communication with the real computer user providing the request; and receiving at the network device a communication for the fictitious user that originates from the computer service and sending the communication to the real computer user providing the request.
