The US Patent and Trademark Office has approved the option of a control filter for Apple phones.
Developed as a means to protect the youth from coarse communication, whether accidental or intentional, this control filter for Apple products is essentially a tool for parents to activate on their children’s phones. The app will predict words of a more innocuous nature and disable the ability for the texter to input lewd language.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Control Filters for Smartphones
- Developing control filters to enable parents to protect their children from coarse communication on their phones through machine learning prediction and removal of lewd language.
- Incorporating Parental Controls in Mobile Phones
- Exploring ways to develop technologies to incorporate parental controls that can be easily activated on mobile phones.
- AI-based Texting Controls
- Incorporating AI-based predictive models to identify lewd language and to disable texting functions for younger smartphone users.
Sectors Adopting This
- Mobile Phone Industry
- Mobile phone manufacturers can design smartphones with input filters activated by parents to limit their child's access to coarse communication.
- Child Safety Industry
- Companies that produce products to protect children may want to partner with mobile phone companies to offer control filters as a part of their product offerings.
- AI and Machine Learning Industry
- Incorporating AI and machine learning models in mobile phones can identify and remove lewd language in real-time, opening up opportunities in AI and machine learning industries.
