E-Kid (Eye-control my kid system)

Abstract

The rapid technological development is a significant factor that improves man’s awareness in its environment. For instance, the internet offers a lot of information in just one click. It is essential in terms of business, medicine, engineering, and other industries. But like other creations, if not used judiciously, it could lead to distractions. Technology today has been hazardous for children.

The developers of this study constructed the system with a general objective: to develop Eye-Control My Kid system- a mobile parental control system that will help parents in monitoring a child’s activity over the computer and be able to control all sites accessed by the child when the parents are away. Specifically, this study aims to help parents monitor the proper use of computer, access to web sites and applications by their children using a mobile phone, limit the playing time of children with computer games by setting the systems access time, and limit access to malicious, filthy, and undesirable information in the web through the request permission of the system.

The developers used the Iterative Model. It is a rework-scheduling strategy in which time is set aside to revise and improve the parts of the system. E-Kid needs to be updated and be maintained for there will always be new sites to be blocked and applications to be limited.

As the developers, we recommend that the user at least reach the minimum requirements needed for software and hardware specifications for best result.
