Leading Web Filtering Software i-FILTER® (Consumers) for TV2 Preinstalled on Toshiba Visual Solution REGZA LED TV Series
TOKYO, Japan (January 25, 2017) – Digital Arts Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Toshio Dogu; “Digital Arts”; Code 2326), a leading provider of information security software, announced that i-FILTER (Consumer) for TV2 will be preinstalled on all REGZA LED television series by Toshiba Visual Solutions Corporation (headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa; CEO Atsushi Murasawa; “Toshiba Visual Solutions”).
REGZA LED TV series connects to the internet for searches via browser and accessing websites, and for this reason, the series comes with a filtering service to keep harmful information away from young audience under 18 years old. Toshiba previously offered REGZA Anshin Net, a filtering service derived from Yahoo! Anshin Net operated by Yahoo! JAPAN, however upon termination of the Yahoo! Anshin Net service, Toshiba selected to adopt i-FILTER (Consumer) for TV 2 for their new filtering settings.
i-FILTER (Consumer) for TV2 has four presets (Elementary School, Middle School, High School, Living Room) to easily switch filtering strength according to where and who accesses the internet. Parents can also set more precise filtering from 67 categories, including adult content, grotesque, and gamble, to block contents they do not want children to access.
Digital Arts continues to collaborate with Toshiba Vision Solutions to bring i-FILTER (Consumer) for TV2 to REGZA LED TV series owners and provide web filtering services to the public for a safe and secure environment to connect to the internet.
