INTERNET TOOL

摘要

The present invention provides a method and a system for providing profile information about at least one internet user. The profile information is provided to users of the internet, and may also be provided to a third party. The profile information may be used by a user to view their own web-surfing habits, and may allow the surfing habits of particular demographic groups of a site or set of web sites to be examined. For example, parents may use the profile information to monitor the internet usage of children. Preferably, profile information provided to any party is presented as summarised demographic information about a selection of users, rather than personal details about any single user. However, a user may be given access to their own personal details. The present invention also provides a display system including means for graphically displaying a navigation history of an internet user. The display system may construct a visual display of the navigation history using history data provided by a web browser.
