Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing security features of a mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device comprises a first security module configured to implement a first security operation and a second security module configured to implement a second security operation. The method includes: detecting a first security event; implementing a first security operation by the first security module; triggering a second security event; and implementing a second security operation by the second security module. The first security operation includes triggering the second security event.
Claims24
A mobile electronic device comprising:
- a first application module configured to provide first application functionality;
- a first security module coupled with the first application module, the first security module configured to regulate the provision of the first application functionality by the first application module;
- a second application module configured to provide second application functionality;
- and
- a second security module coupled with the second application module and the first security module, the second security module configured to regulate the provision of the second application module,
- wherein the first security module is configured to detect a first security event,
- wherein the second security module is configured to detect a second security event,
- wherein the first security module is configured to implement a first security operation upon detecting said first security event, wherein the second security module is configured to implement a second security operation upon detecting said second security event, wherein the first security operation comprises triggering the second security event to be detected by the second security module, and
- wherein the second security module is further configured to disable the second application functionality when implementing the second security operation.
A method for implementing security features of a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
- a processor executing instructions of a first application module configured to provide first application functionality;
- the processor executing instructions of a first security module coupled with the first application module, the first security module configured to regulate the provision of the first application functionality by the first application module;
- the processor executing instructions of a second application module configured to provide second application functionality;
- and
- the processor executing instructions of a second security module coupled with the second application module and the first security module, the second security module configured to regulate the provision of the second application module,
- wherein the first security module is configured to detect a first security event,
- wherein the second security module is configured to detect a second security event,
- wherein the first security module is configured to implement a first security operation upon detecting said first security event, wherein the second security module is configured to implement a second security operation upon detecting said second security event, wherein the first security operation comprises triggering the second security event to be detected by the second security module, and
- wherein the second security module is further configured to disable the second application functionality when implementing the second security operation.
A computer-readable medium other than a signal, comprising instructions executable on a processor of a mobile device, for implementing security features of the mobile electronic device, the medium comprising:
- a first application module configured to provide first application functionality;
- a first security module coupled with the first application module, the first security module configured to regulate the provision of the first application functionality by the first application module;
- a second application module configured to provide second application functionality;
- and
- a second security module coupled with the second application module and the first security module, the second security module configured to regulate the provision of the second application module,
- wherein the first security module is configured to detect a first security event,
- wherein the second security module is configured to detect a second security event,
- wherein the first security module is configured to implement a first security operation upon detecting said first security event, wherein the second security module is configured to implement a second security operation upon detecting said second security event, wherein the first security operation comprises triggering the second security event to be detected by the second security module, and
- wherein the second security module is further configured to disable the second application functionality when implementing the second security operation.
