VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK BASED PARENTAL CONTROL SERVICE WITH MOTION-BASED RESTRICTED MODE

摘要

In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing motion-based parental controls on mobile devices using virtual private network (VPN)-based parental control services are provided. A parental control profile is received at a controlled device where the parental control profile includes instructions to configure the controlled device with a device motion-based control policy. The device motion-based control policy includes a motion-related condition and a resource that is restricted when the motion-related condition is met. A VPN is configured using the parental control profile. The VPN comprises a virtual point-to-point connection between the controlled device and a network of the parental control service. When it is determined that the motion-related condition of the controlled device has been met, a restricted mode is initiated on the controlled device to restrict the resource. It is contemplated that the restricted mode supports a VPN channel and a cellular channel for restricted and unrestricted resources, respectively.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for implementing motion-based parental controls on devices, using virtual private network (VPN)-based parental control services, the method comprising:
accessing a motion-based control policy to associate the motion-based control policy with a parental control profile, wherein the motion-based control policy comprises a condition and a resource that is restricted when the condition is met; generating a device motion-based control policy for a controlled device, wherein the device motion-based control policy comprises at least the motion-based control policy, the device is associated with the parental control profile that supports implementing the device motion-based control policy in a VPN-based parental control service; and communicating the device motion-based control policy such that enforcement of restrictions is performed on resources on the controlled device based on the device motion-based control policy.
