Content security for a mobile communication terminal

摘要

A method for outputting sensitive data to a user includes a communication terminal checking to determine whether at least a portion of the sensitive data is to be outputted by determining whether the communication terminal is in one of a plurality of predefined communication configurations for outputting the sensitive data. If the communication terminal is found to be a first configuration, the communication terminal transmits the sensitive data so that at least one of the video data and the audio data is output to the user via at least one peripheral device connected to the communication terminal. If the communication terminal is in a second configuration, the communication terminal performs at least one security action to help further protect the sensitive data.

1. A method of a communication terminal outputting sensitive data comprising at least one of video data and audio data, the method comprising:
the communication terminal receiving at least one of (i) an indicator that sensitive data is to be communicated to the communication terminal in a communication session that is to be established with a communication device and (ii) the sensitive data via the communication session; the communication terminal checking to determine whether at least a portion of the sensitive data is to be outputted by determining whether the communication terminal is in one of a plurality of predefined communication configurations for outputting at least one of audio and video based on or defined by the sensitive data, the predefined communication configurations comprising a first configuration for outputting data and a second configuration for outputting data, the first configuration being an arrangement wherein the sensitive data is outputable via at least one peripheral device connected to the communication terminal for outputting at least one of audio and video defined by or based on the sensitive data to only a user of the communication terminal, the second configuration being an arrangement wherein the at least one of the audio and video based on or defined by the sensitive data is outputted by the communication terminal such that that at least one of audio and video is at least one of viewable and audible to a non-user near the communication terminal; if the communication terminal is in the first configuration, the communication terminal transmitting the sensitive data so that at least one of the video and the audio is output to the user via the at least one peripheral device; and if the communication terminal is in the second configuration, the communication terminal performing at least one security action, the at least one security action comprising at least one of (a) transmitting a warning to the user that indicates the communication terminal is configured to output the sensitive data such that the non-user could hear or view at least one of the audio and the video and (b) withholding at least a portion of the sensitive data so that the at least one of the video and the audio is not output to the user via the communication terminal.
