Virtual Mobile Management via Proprietary Protocol Stack
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile device management systems lack a flexible, end-to-end solution for securing and managing devices within corporate networks, and existing mobile advertising methods are not efficiently targeted or customizable, while alert notifications are not effectively centralized for timely delivery.
Innovation Solution
A virtual mobile management system utilizing a peer-to-peer TCP/HTTP/HTTPS connection with a proprietary protocol stack to remotely manage and control mobile devices, push advertisements and alerts, and provide real-time views of device screens, allowing for secure, single-point access and customizable content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If mobile devices are deployed within corporate networks, then connectivity and data access are improved, but security risks and device management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between the management console and mobile devices, establishing peer-to-peer TCP/HTTP/HTTPS connections to relay commands and data. This mediator architecture allows centralized management without requiring direct complex connections from each device to administrators, simplifying device management while maintaining connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements a universal protocol stack that handles multiple functions including virtual mobile management, advertisement pushing, and alert notifications through a single unified system. This multi-functional approach consolidates various device management tasks into one platform, reducing overall management complexity.
2Reliability
If security policies are deployed throughout enterprise networks, then network security is improved, but the effort to map and maintain security policies increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service security policy implementation where the server automatically receives, parses, and enforces security policies through the protocol stack without requiring manual configuration on each device. The automated policy deployment and constant monitoring reduce the time security teams spend on policy mapping and maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous monitoring and feedback mechanisms that track device compliance with security policies in real-time. This automated feedback loop allows security teams to maintain policies centrally without constant manual intervention, as the system self-monitors and reports on policy adherence across the enterprise network.
3Productivity
If mobile advertising is implemented, then revenue opportunities are improved, but targeting precision and customization capabilities are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The advertisement pushing mechanism delivers customized ad content tailored to specific devices, users, or contexts rather than generic mass advertising. The system can target specific mobile devices with relevant advertisements based on device characteristics, user profiles, or location data, improving both revenue potential and advertising precision simultaneously.
4Reliability
If alert notifications are sent periodically, then user awareness is improved, but timely delivery of critical alerts is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The alert notification system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on alert criticality levels. Critical alerts are delivered immediately through push notifications, while less urgent alerts can be sent periodically or scheduled. This dynamic approach ensures timely delivery of important notifications while maintaining user awareness through periodic updates for less critical information.

AI summary
Disclosed is a process to control any mobile device through a protocol stack for sending Ad Alerts and performing Virtual Mobile Management. The client application captures a snapshot that is encrypted and compressed into an XML format using delta compression algorithms. On the server, the xml file is then parsed, decrypted and decompressed and the corresponding values are stored in the database. Ad management/alert notification allows a user to create new Advertisements /Banners/Alerts. Advertisements may add an image to the background of the Ad; Changing the Text on the Ad; Create Special effects for the Text on the Ad; Customizing Font color and size. Advertisement may be sent instantaneously or at a later time for Alerts, Ads or banners without the need for browsing through the internet.
