Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A method for securely managing operations of a mobile computing device, the method comprising:

receiving or accessing, by a remote server, security data parameters from a network administrator, wherein the security data parameters comprises encryption, network connection, and a maximum session time;

receiving or accessing, by the remote server, session configuration data from a supervisor, wherein the session configuration data comprises session parameters comprising session length, wherein the session length is less than the maximum session time;

receiving, by the remote server, authentication data comprising user credentials and a device identifier of the mobile computing device from a user operating a local computing device;

authenticating, by the remote server, the user credentials;

initiating a secure session for the mobile computing device by transmitting, from the remote server, the security data parameters, a session configuration data, and the authentication data session data to the mobile computing device;

operating the mobile computing device within the security data parameters and session configuration data for a session period until an end of the secure session, wherein the end of the secure session is triggered manually by the user or automatically when the session period reaches the session length; and

automatically deleting session data from the mobile computing device after the secure session period is completed.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically deleting session data from the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device leaves a designated network that is designated by the network connection.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting, by the user, a mobile computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the secure session includes transmitting, from the processing device, the session data associated with the user to the mobile computing device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the session data comprises patient health information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the session data comprises one or more of: security profile information, encryption algorithms, encryption keys, accessible data types, communication networks, a maximum session duration for use during the secure session, or a combination thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , where in the session data includes session profile information comprising a user's maximum session duration and user credentials.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote server includes a network-connected computing device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote server is a cloud-based server.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the local computing device comprises a desktop computer.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the session configuration data to the remote server.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering the end of the secure session when the network connection is unresponsive.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an alert after the end of the secure session is triggered.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secure session comprises a time-limited two-way connection between two or more devices.

15. A method for securely managing operations of a mobile computing device, the method comprising:

receiving or accessing, by a remote server, security data parameters from a network administrator, wherein the security data parameters comprises encryption, network connection, and a maximum session time;

receiving or accessing, by the remote server, session configuration data from a supervisor, wherein the session configuration data comprises session parameters comprising session length, wherein the session length is less than the maximum session time;

receiving, by the remote server, authentication data comprising user credentials including a username and a password, and a device identifier of the mobile computing device from a user operating a local computing device;

authenticating, by the remote server, the user credentials;

initiating a secure session for the mobile computing device by transmitting, from the remote server, the security data parameters, a session configuration data, and the authentication data session data to the mobile computing device;

operating the mobile computing device within the security data parameters and session configuration data for a session period until an end of the secure session, wherein the end of the secure session is triggered manually by the user or automatically when the session period reaches the session length; and

automatically deleting session data from the mobile computing device after the secure session period is completed and/or when the mobile computing device leaves a designated network that is designated by the network connection for longer than a threshold period.

16. A system comprising:

a mobile computing device; and

a first non-transitory, computer-readable storage media having executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving or accessing, by a remote server, security data parameters from a network administrator, wherein the security data parameters comprises encryption, network connection, and a maximum session time;

receiving or accessing, by the remote server, session configuration data from a supervisor, wherein the session configuration data comprises session parameters comprising session length, wherein the session length is less than the maximum session time;

receiving, by the remote server, authentication data comprising user credentials and a device identifier for the mobile computing device from a user operating a local computing device;

authenticating, by the remote server, the user credentials; and

initiating a secure session for the mobile computing device by transmitting, from the remote server, the security data parameters, a session configuration data, and the authentication data session data to the mobile computing device;

wherein the mobile computing device is configured to operate within the security data parameters and session configuration data for a session period until an end of the secure session, wherein the end of the secure session is triggered manually by the user or automatically when the session period reaches the session length, and further wherein the mobile computing device is configured to automatically delete session data from the mobile computing device after the secure session period is completed.

17. The system of claim 16 , further comprising a plurality of mobile computing devices including the mobile computing device.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to automatically delete session data from the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device leaves a designated network that is designated by the network connection.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein initiating the secure session includes transmitting, from the processing device, the session data associated with the user to the mobile computing device.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the session data comprises patient health information.

21. The system of claim 16 , wherein the session data comprises one or more of: security profile information, encryption algorithms, encryption keys, accessible data types, communication networks, a maximum session duration for use during the secure session, or a combination thereof.

22. The system of claim 16 , where in the session data includes session profile information comprising a user's maximum session duration and user credentials.

23. The system of claim 16 , wherein the remote server includes a network-connected computing device.

24. The system of claim 16 , wherein the remote server is a cloud-based server.

25. The system of claim 16 , wherein the local computing device comprises a desktop computer.

26. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to transmit the session configuration data to the remote server.

27. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to trigger the end of the secure session when the network connection is unresponsive.

28. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to emit an alert after the end of the secure session is triggered.
