Mobile Terminal Virtual Setup Screen for Secure Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminals face challenges in managing self-management functions, particularly in preventing unauthorized access and usage when employees attempt to restrict or stop applications, leading to difficulties in maintaining security and preventing information leakage.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal capable of detecting setup screen calls and displaying a virtual setup screen that excludes items interrupting self-management functions, thereby preventing unauthorized changes to the terminal's settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a setup screen is provided to allow employees to configure terminal settings, then ease of operation is improved, but self-management functions may be interrupted by unauthorized changes
Solution Approach 1:
The setup screen is segmented into multiple categories (display, sound, network, application management, etc.), with each category containing specific setup items. The system identifies and excludes only those items that would interrupt self-management functions, while allowing access to other safe setup items. This segmentation enables selective restriction without completely blocking the setup screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal management system acts as an intermediary between the setup screen and the user. It intercepts setup screen calls, analyzes the requested setup items, and determines whether to allow or exclude specific items based on their potential to interrupt self-management functions. This intermediary mechanism protects reliability while maintaining ease of operation for safe configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If employees are given full access to terminal settings, then adaptability is improved, but security is worsened due to potential unauthorized changes
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal management system automatically identifies and excludes setup items that would interrupt self-management functions, without requiring manual configuration by employees. The system serves itself by monitoring its own protective requirements and autonomously making decisions about which setup items to restrict, thereby maintaining security while allowing broad configuration flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors setup screen calls and provides feedback by excluding specific items that would compromise security. When an employee attempts to access a restricted setup item, the system detects this through call analysis and prevents access to that specific item while allowing access to other items. This feedback mechanism maintains security dynamically without blocking overall adaptability.
3Reliability
If a virtual setup screen is displayed to exclude certain items, then self-management function protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating a completely separate and complex virtual setup screen system, the patent uses copying by referencing the original setup screen's structure and selectively excluding specific items. The virtual setup screen reuses the original screen's layout, categories, and valid setup items, adding only a simple exclusion mechanism. This copying approach protects self-management functions while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
A setup screen not interrupting a management system is displayed in a mobile terminal. A mobile terminal capable of being set up without interrupting a self-management function by detecting a call of a setup screen in a mobile terminal having the self-management function and displaying a virtual setup screen in which setup items interrupting the self-management function are excluded instead of the setup screen, a terminal setup method thereof, and a mobile terminal program thereof are provided.
