METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS OF COMPUTER RESOURCES OF MOBILE CLIENT FACILITIES
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods of controlling resource access on a plurality of mobile communication facilities. The systems and methods may involve providing a central access management facility that is capable of regulating the access control protocols of a plurality of resources that are operational through a mobile communication facility; providing a mobile communication facility with a plurality of resources with access controls that regulate their operation; and setting the access control protocols for the plurality of resources on the mobile communication facility through the central access management facility.
1 . A method of managing access control of individual computer resources on a plurality of mobile communication facilities, comprising:
regulating the access control of the individual computer resources on the plurality of mobile communication facilities from a central server application.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the regulation of the access control involves setting access control protocols on the mobile communication facility in accordance with a corporate policy.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the regulation of the access control involves disabling access to one or more of the individual computer resources.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the regulation of the access control involves adapting a locking facility to unlock control of one or more of the computer resources upon verification of a pass code.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the regulation of the access control involves adapting a locking facility to unlock control of one or more of the computer resources upon verification of a biometric parameter.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of mobile communication facilities operates at least two types of computer resources, wherein one of the at least two types is a central access controlled type of computer resources wherein the access control for access controlled resources is regulated by the central server application.
7 . The method of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of mobile communication facilities operates at least one central access controlled group of applications wherein the access control for the group is regulated by the central server application.
8 . A method of controlling resource access on a plurality of mobile communication facilities, comprising:
providing a central access management facility that is capable of regulating the access control protocols of a plurality of resources that are operational through a mobile communication facility;
providing a mobile communication facility with a plurality of resources with access controls that regulate their operation; and
setting the access control protocols for the plurality of resources on the mobile communication facility through the central access management facility.
9 . The method of claim 8 wherein each of the plurality of resources on the mobile communication facility have their own respective access control protocols and wherein the central access management facility is configured to set each respective access control protocol.
10 . The method of claim 8 wherein the mobile communication facility is a mobile phone.
11 . The method of claim 8 wherein the mobile communication facility is a mobile client.
12 . The method of claim 11 wherein the mobile client is a laptop computing system.
13 . A system of individual computer resources with managed access control on a plurality of mobile communication facilities, comprising:
individual computer resources with regulated access control on the plurality of mobile communication facilities from a central server application.
14 . The system of claim 13 wherein the regulated access control involves setting access control protocols on the mobile communication facility in accordance with a corporate policy.
15 . The system of claim 13 wherein the regulated access control involves disabling access to one or more of the individual computer resources.
16 . The system of claim 13 wherein the regulated access control involves adapting a locking facility to unlock control of one or more of the computer resources upon verification of a pass code.
17 . The system of claim 13 wherein the regulated access control involves adapting a locking facility to unlock control of one or more of the computer resources upon verification of a biometric parameter.
18 . The system of claim 13 wherein each of the plurality of mobile communication facilities operates at least two types of computer resources, wherein one of the at least two types is a central access controlled type of computer resources wherein the access control for access controlled resources is regulated by the central server application.
19 . The system of claim 13 wherein each of the plurality of mobile communication facilities operates at least one central access controlled group of applications wherein the access control for the group is regulated by the central server application.
20 . A system of a plurality of mobile communication facilities with controlled resource access, comprising:
a central access management facility that is capable of regulating the access control protocols of a plurality of resources that are operational through a mobile communication facility;
a mobile communication facility with a plurality of resources with access controls that regulate their operation; and
access control protocols settable for the plurality of resources on the mobile communication facility through the central access management facility.
21 . The system of claim 20 wherein each of the plurality of resources on the mobile communication facility have their own respective access control protocols and wherein the central access management facility is configured to set each respective access control protocol.
22 . The system of claim 20 wherein the mobile communication facility is a mobile phone.
23 . The system of claim 20 wherein the mobile communication facility is a mobile client.
24 . The system of claim 23 wherein the mobile client is a laptop computing system.
