Patent ID: 7971054

Claim:
A digital-content-analysis system comprising: a network services component adapted to receive a remote service request; a stream monitor adapted to form digital content into at least one data stream; a stream analyzer interoperably coupled to the network services component and the stream monitor and adapted to receive and analyze the at least one data stream responsive to the remote service request, the stream analyzer comprising: a lexical analyzer adapted to separate the at least one data stream into a plurality of tokens; a classifier adapted to classify the at least one data stream into at least one category by processing at least a subset of the plurality of tokens and computing a classification rating for at least one category; and a set of parameters, at least a subset of the parameters containing information developed from previous operation of the stream analyzer; wherein the remote service request comprises a request for at least a subset of the set of parameters; wherein the request for at least a subset of parameters includes at least one constraint based on a resource limitation of a source of the request; and wherein the network services component, the stream monitor, and the stream analyzer are resident on a device comprising a processor and memory.
