摘要： The multi-user Internet access and security system which automates the management of the favorites category of bookmarks and also provides a password protection capability for all of the bookmarks that are stored by the computer system for each of the users of the computer system. In particular, the favorites category of bookmarks for each user is cache managed with the infrequently used bookmarks being cataloged as “expired” and then migrated to a “former favorites” category where they remain until the user deletes them or the system optionally automatically deletes them after a further predetermined period of inactivity. In this manner, the user can populate the favorites feature of the bookmarks, but does not have to further address the usefulness of these stored bookmarks, since the computer system automatically manages the cleanup of former favorite bookmarks. The present multi-user Internet access and security system also provides password protection of the individual user's bookmarks to prevent the other users from accessing the user's bookmarks. This is advantageous when the bookmarks are provisioned with login and password data to automate the user's access to a particular WEB site. This capability is especially relevant where the login and password script varies for the plurality of bookmarks that are stored for a particular user. The user then does not have to remember the various access scripts, since they are programmed into the computer system. The user, having already been password admitted, simply clicks on the desired bookmark and the computer system automatically access the identified Internet WEB site without the need for further user input.

摘要翻译： 多用户因特网访问和安全系统，其自动地管理收藏夹类别的书签，并且还为计算机系统的每个用户存储的所有书签提供口令保护功能。 特别地，每个用户的收藏夹类别的书签被缓存管理，不经常使用的书签被编目为“过期”，然后迁移到“原始收藏”类别，直到用户删除它们，或者系统可选地自动删除它们 在进一步的预定的不活动时间段之后。 以这种方式，用户可以填充书签的收藏夹特征，但是不必进一步解决这些存储的书签的有用性，因为计算机系统自动管理旧的喜爱的书签的清理。 目前的多用户互联网访问和安全系统还提供个人用户书签的密码保护，以防止其他用户访问用户的书签。 当书签被提供有登录和密码数据以自动化用户访问特定的WEB站点时，这是有利的。 对于为特定用户存储的多个书签，登录名和口令脚本的变化特别相关。 因此，用户不需要记住各种访问脚本，因为它们被编程到计算机系统中。 已经被密码录入的用户只需点击所需的书签，并且计算机系统自动访问所识别的Internet WEB站点，而不需要进一步的用户输入。
