Abstract
Systems and methods for providing security services during a power management mode are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises detecting a wake event, providing a wake signal in response to the wake event to wake a mobile device from a power management mode, and managing security services of the mobile device. Managing security services may comprise scanning a hard drive of the mobile devices for viruses and/or other malware. Managing security services may also comprise updating security applications or scanning the mobile device for unauthorized data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting by a mobile security system processor of a mobile security system a wake event;
- providing from the mobile security system a wake signal to a mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile device processor different than the mobile security system processor, the wake signal being in response to the wake event and adapted to wake at least a portion of the mobile device from a power management mode;
- and
- after providing the wake signal to the mobile device, executing security instructions by the mobile security system processor to manage security services configured to protect the mobile device, the security instructions being stored on the mobile security system.
A mobile security system, comprising:
- a mobile security system processor;
- a connection mechanism for connecting to a data port of a mobile device and for communicating with the mobile device;
- security instructions;
- and
- a security engine configured to:
- detect using the mobile security system processor a wake event;
- provide a wake signal to the mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile device processor different than the mobile security system processor, the wake signal being in response to the wake event and adapted to wake at least a portion of the mobile device from a power management mode;
- and
- after providing the wake signal to the mobile device, executing the security instructions using the mobile security system processor to manage security services configured to protect the mobile device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions, the instructions executable by a processor for performing a method, the method comprising:
- detecting by a mobile security system processor of a mobile security system a wake event;
- providing from the mobile security system a wake signal to a mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile device processor different than the mobile security system processor, the wake signal being in response to the wake event and adapted to wake at least a portion of the mobile device from a power management mode;
- and
- after providing the wake signal to the mobile device, executing security instructions by the mobile security system processor to manage security services configured to protect the mobile device, the security instructions being stored on the mobile security system.
