Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that employ various mechanisms to selectively disable mobile device functionality. In general, mobile devices can be utilized to store personal and/or highly sensitive information such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers and the like. If the mobile device is lost or stolen, data stored within the device can be accessed by an unauthorized user; and, thus, any personal and/or highly sensitive information can be obtained. In order to mitigate unauthorized access, the subject invention provides a disabling component that communicates with the lost or stolen device to render data stored thereon inaccessible. Further, the data can be stored in local or remote locations to backup stored information, thereby creating a more robust and reliable method of storing information important to the device owner. These features provide enhancements over conventional mobile device security techniques.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及使用各种机制来选择性地禁用移动设备功能的系统和方法。 通常，移动设备可用于存储个人和/或高度敏感的信息，例如银行帐号，社会保险号码，信用卡号码等。 如果移动设备丢失或被盗，则存储在设备内的数据可以被未经授权的用户访问; 因此，可以获得任何个人和/或高度敏感的信息。 为了减轻未经授权的访问，本发明提供了一种与丢失或被盗设备进行通信以使其上存储的数据不可访问的禁用组件。 此外，数据可以存储在本地或远程位置以备份存储的信息，从而创建一种更强大和可靠的存储对设备所有者重要的信息的方法。 这些功能提供了比传统移动设备安全技术更强大的功能。
