Abstract
Systems and methods for handling user interface field data. A system and method can be configured to receive input which indicates that the mobile device is to enter into a protected mode. Data associated with fields displayed on a user interface are stored in a secure form on the mobile device. After the mobile device leaves the protected mode, the stored user interface filed data is accessed and used to populate one or more user interface fields with the accessed user interface field data for display to a user.
Claims20
A method of securing a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving input for locking the mobile device;
- encrypting data entered in at least one field of a user interface, wherein the data is encrypted in response to locking the mobile device;
- decrypting the encrypted data in response to unlocking the mobile device;
- and
- displaying the decrypted data in the at least one field of the user interface, wherein the decrypted data includes content displayed on the user interface prior to locking the mobile device.
At least one computer readable medium comprising instructions executable via a processor of a computing system, wherein executing the instructions by the processor cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving input for locking a mobile device;
- encrypting data entered in at least one field of a user interface, wherein the data is encrypted in response to locking the mobile device;
- decrypting the encrypted data in response to unlocking the mobile device;
- and
- displaying the decrypted data in the at least one field of the user interface, wherein the decrypted data includes content displayed on the user interface prior to locking the mobile device.
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one processor capable of:
- encrypting data entered in at least one field of a user interface, wherein the data is encrypted in response to locking the mobile device;
- decrypting the encrypted data in response to unlocking the mobile device;
- and
- displaying the decrypted data in the at least one field of the user interface, wherein the decrypted data includes content displayed on the user interface prior to locking the mobile device.
