Lineament Monitoring System II
網線II

Objectives 研究目標
For the combat of copyright infringing activities through "peer-to-peer" network on the Internet, Customs & Excise Department, HKSAR (C&ED) worked in collaboration with the Centre for Information Security and Cryptography of The University of Hong Kong and developed a monitoring system named "Lineament Monitoring System I" in 2007. Thereafter, C&ED co-operated with the Centre again and successfully developed a monitoring system named "Lineament Monitoring System II", targeting the activities of Internet auction sites selling intellectual property infringement articles.
為了打擊網上「點對點」的侵權活動，香港海關與香港大學資訊保安及密碼學研究中心在2007年合作研發了「網線I」監察系統。繼「網線I」之後，香港海關再次與香港大學資訊保安及密碼學研究中心合作，成功研發「網線II」監察系統，專門針對利用拍賣網站售賣侵權物品的活動。

Contributions 研究成果
By entering some relevant information into the system, C&ED can impose a 24-hour monitoring of the local Internet auction sites and suspected infringing activities are recorded to facilitate follow-up action and investigation by Customs officers. As "Lineament Monitoring System II" can be operated automatically, not only can it enhance the efficiency in monitoring Internet auction sites, it can also enhance the enforcement effectiveness of combating the sale of infringing articles through Internet auction sites as it can operate round the clock.
香港海關利用這個系統，透過輸入一些有關資料，可以24小時對本地的拍賣網站進行監察，將懷疑侵權活動的資料紀錄下來，方便海關人員進行跟進和調查。由於「網線II」能夠自動運作，不但可以增強監察拍賣網站的效率，同時亦因為它能24小時運作，亦可提升對利用拍賣網站出售侵權物品的執法成效。
