Cloud-Based Access Management and Activity Monitoring of Mobile Devices

摘要

A control application executed on a target mobile device monitors applications used on the target mobile device and reports the monitored usage to a monitoring device. The control application receives access restrictions from the monitoring device, where each access restriction specifies a condition defined by a first user for causing the target mobile device to take an action restricting use of the target mobile device by a second user. If the control application detects satisfying of the condition specified by an access restriction, the control application enforces the access restriction at the target mobile device by taking the action specified by the access restriction to restrict the user of the target mobile device by the second user.

主权项

1. A method for monitoring usage of a target mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving at the target mobile device one or more access restrictions from a server communicating with the target mobile device over a network, each access restriction specifying a condition defined by a first user for causing the target mobile device to take an action restricting use of the target mobile device by a second user; monitoring usage of the target mobile device responsive to receiving the one or more access restrictions; reporting the monitored usage to a monitoring device accessed by the first user; and responsive to detecting satisfying of the condition, taking the action to restrict the use of the target mobile device by the second user.
