Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of implementing a security system for preemptively preventing a decrease in work efficiency due to leaked confidential secrets or the browsing of non work-related sites through a mobile terminal. A security manager implements an environment for allowing, blocking, or recording Internet usage in an independent mobile communication network in an area requiring security, uses a security system server to preregister information on mobile terminals of users who are expected to use the Internet, makes agreements on how personal information will be handled when outside visitors visit the network, registers information on mobile terminals of outside visitors with the security system server, and oversees the installation of a security app whenever necessary.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method of securing a mobile terminal apparatus in a limited area requiring security, the method comprising:

a basic information registration operation of inputting information about a user and information about the mobile terminal apparatus into a security system server;
a privacy policy agreement operation of notifying the security system server of information regarding whether an agreement on collection of traffic related to security and Internet blocking is obtained in advance;
a blocking policy transmission operation of transmitting, by the security system server, a blocking policy to a blocking server;
a blocking application operation of allowing or blocking, by the blocking server, an access of the mobile terminal apparatus to the Internet while the mobile terminal apparatus is in the limited area;
and
in response to the mobile terminal apparatus leaving the limited area, performing a blocking discontinuation operation by the security system server which includes discontinuing the blocking of the mobile terminal apparatus and notifying, by the security system server, the mobile terminal apparatus of discontinuation of the blocking policy,
wherein the blocking application operation is performed by:
a method of discontinuing the security when the user agrees to collection of an Internet usage history in a situation in which the user has to use the Internet.

A method of securing a mobile terminal apparatus in a limited area requiring security, the method comprising:

inputting information about a user and information about the mobile terminal apparatus into a security system server;
notifying the security system server of information regarding whether an agreement on collection of traffic related to security and Internet blocking is obtained in advance;
transmitting, by the security system server, a blocking policy to a blocking server;
allowing or blocking, by the blocking server, an access of the mobile terminal apparatus to the Internet while the mobile terminal apparatus is in the limited area;
in response to the mobile terminal apparatus leaving the limited area, discontinuing, by the security system server, the blocking of the mobile terminal apparatus by (A) transmitting, by a security manager, a QR code to the security system server when the mobile terminal apparatus leaves an area to which the blocking policy applies, (B) inputting blocking discontinuation information into the security system server when the mobile terminal apparatus leaves the area to which the blocking policy applies, or (C) transmitting, to the security system server by the mobile terminal apparatus, information regarding whether blocking is discontinued and uninstalling a security app in addition to discontinuing blocking, simultaneously, when the mobile terminal apparatus leaves the area to which the blocking policy applies or when the security manager inputs uninstallation information for a case in which the security app is installed;
and
in response to the mobile terminal apparatus leaving the limited area, notifying, by the security system server, the mobile terminal apparatus of discontinuation of the blocking policy.
