Abstract
An unlocking application limits access to a computer application on a computing device. The unlocking application is configurable with at least one unlocking command comprising a sequence of inputs received by input devices of the computing device. The unlocking application limits access to at least one of the computer applications by requiring a user of the computing device to provide the at least one unlocking command using the input devices to access the at least one computer application.
Claims18
A system for limiting access to a computer application on a computing device, the system comprising:
- a) a processor;
- b) one or more input devices;
- and
- c) a memory linked to the processor, the memory having computer executable instructions stored thereupon which when executed by the processor cause the processor to execute:
- (i) an operating system;
- (ii) one or more computer applications;
- and
- (iii) an unlocking application, the unlocking application being configurable with at least one unlocking command comprising a sequence of inputs received by the input devices, the unlocking application limiting access to at least one of the computer applications by requiring a user of the computing device to provide the at least one unlocking command using the input devices to access the at least one computer application.
A method for limiting access to a computer application on a computing device, the method comprising enabling a user to define at least one unlocking command comprising a sequence of inputs received by one or more input devices of the computing device, the unlocking command limiting access to one or more computer applications of the computing device by requiring a user of the computing device to provide the at least one unlocking command using the input devices to access the at least one computer application.
