The sensitivity of a motion sensor or detector in a security system is adjusted by a remotely-transmitted signal, such as from a user interface device in the security system. In another approach, a pet wears a transmitter on its collar that transmits a wireless signal to command the motion sensor to adjust its sensitivity, e.g., by entering a pet immune mode, when the pet is in the room that is protected by the motion sensor. In another approach, a remote monitoring site sends instructions to the motion sensor via a communication interface. The sensitivity can be adjusted by adjusting a pulse count, optical gain, or electrical or optical sensitivity of the motion sensor.

An security system for an enterprise network and data automates the revision, deployment, enforcement, auditing and control of security policies on mobile devices connected to said enterprise network, through automated communication between a security policy server and the mobile device. Control of the security system is centralized through administrative control of security policies stored on the security policy server. Automation of deployment of security policies to mobile devices occurs through transparent background communication and transfer of updated policies either triggered by a change in a security policy within the central repository of security policies or upon the expiration of a certain time period during which no policies were downloaded to the mobile device. When the mobile device is not in compliance with a security policy, a software security agent operating thereon limits access to said enterprise network and enterprise data. To aid in preventing the overwhelming of the enterprise network and the security policy server as a result of to many synchronization communications coming from too many mobile devices, a randomized timer is set by the software security agent upon receipt by the mobile device of a synchronization command from the security policy server.

The method, used with a portable computing device, secures security sensitive words, icons, etc. by determining device location within or without a predetermined region and then extracting the security data from the file, text, data object or whatever. The extracted data is separated from the remainder data and stored either on media in a local drive or remotely, typically via wireless network, to a remote store. Encryption is used to further enhance security levels. Extraction may be automatic, when the portable device is beyond a predetermined territory, or triggered by an event, such a “save document” or a time-out routine. Reconstruction of the data is permitted only in the presence of a predetermined security clearance and within certain geographic territories. A computer readable medium containing programming instructions carrying out the methodology for securing data is also described herein. An information processing system for securing data is also described.
