Coordinated Security Modules for Mobile Device Unauthorized Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile electronic devices do not effectively coordinate security measures to prevent unauthorized use of communication functionality even when invalid passwords are entered, allowing thieves to continue using SIM cards until network administrators intervene.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that coordinates multiple security modules to trigger simultaneous security operations, including disabling communication card functionality and restricting access to user data upon detection of an invalid authorization code, ensuring comprehensive security by integrating first and second security modules to enforce security operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a first security operation is initiated upon detecting an invalid authorization code, then application and user data access are restricted, but communication functionality remains unaffected allowing continued unauthorized use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple security operations (first security operation on application functionality and second security operation on communication functionality) into a coordinated security response. When an invalid authorization code is detected, both security operations are triggered together to comprehensively restrict unauthorized access, merging the protective effects of different security measures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary security coordination by establishing a triggering mechanism where the first security event automatically initiates the second security operation. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when unauthorized access is detected, the communication functionality is proactively disabled before the thief can continue using it, preventing potential harm in advance.
2Reliability
If multiple security measures are coordinated to disable communication functionality, then comprehensive security is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The security system is designed with multi-functionality where the first security module not only protects application functionality but also serves as a trigger for the second security operation on communication functionality. This universal design allows a single security event to activate multiple protective measures across different functional areas of the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the detection of an invalid authorization code (first security event) provides feedback that automatically triggers the second security operation. This feedback loop ensures that security measures are dynamically activated based on detected threats, creating a responsive coordinated security system.
