Abstract

A security control system for personal communication terminals includes: a terminal registration agent for registering information on a personal communication terminal of a worker or visitor present within a security area into a terminal security control server and a zone notification node for providing the information of the personal communication terminal that has entered a control zone covered by the zone notification node in the security area when the personal communication terminal moves to the control zone. The system further includes the terminal security control server for installing a security control software module in the personal communication terminal, configuring computing resources and components permitted within the control zone based on a security control policy and zone information, and providing the configured computing resources and components to the personal communication terminal.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A security control system for a personal communication terminal in a security area including at least one control zone, the system comprising:

a terminal registration agent configured to generate user information of a the personal communication terminal, a security control policy including at least one rule that includes location information as a condition, and information of components to be provided to the personal communication terminal according to a control zone in which the personal communication terminal is located, and register the user information, the security control policy, and the information of components into a terminal security control server before the personal communication terminal enters the control zone;
a zone notification node configured to provide the terminal security control server with the location information of the personal communication terminal that enters the control zone covered by the zone notification node in the security area;
a security control software module configured to provide the terminal security control server with the location information of the personal communication terminal to receive a list of computing resources and components permitted within the control zone in which the personal communication terminal is located from the terminal security control server, and control the personal communication terminal to use the permitted computing resources and components;
and
the terminal security control server configured to:
install the security control software module in the personal communication terminal when the personal communication terminal enters the security area but before the personal communication terminal enters the control zone,
receive the location information of the personal communication terminal from the zone notification node and the security control software module,
configure the computing resources and the components permitted within the control zone based on the security control policy and the location information of the personal communication terminal, and
provide the list of the configured computing resources and the configured components to the personal communication terminal.

6 more elements

A security control method for a personal communication terminal in a security area including at least one control zone, the method comprising:

registering, before the personal communication terminal enters a control zone, user information of the personal communication terminal, a security control policy including at least one rule that includes location information as a condition, and information of components to be provided to the personal communication terminal according to the control zone in which the personal communication terminal is located;
installing, when the personal communication terminal enters the security area but before the personal communication terminal enters the control zone, a security control software module in the personal communication terminal and generating location information of the personal communication terminal;
identifying the control zone in which the personal communication terminal is located within the security area using location information received from the security control software module and a zone notification node provided to generate the location information of the personal communication terminal;
configuring computing resources and components permitted within the identified control zone based on the security control policy and the received location information, and providing the configured computing resources and components to the personal communication terminal;
and
controlling the personal communication terminal to use the permitted computing resources and components.
