Abstract:
1. A method of securing access to a mobile electronic device, the method comprising: storing, in a memory of a mobile electronic device, a first user profile so that the first user profile requires a first access credential; associating, by a processor of the mobile electronic device, the first user profile with a first device feature configuration; storing, in the memory of the mobile electronic device, a second user profile so that the second user profile is associated with a second access credential that differs from the first access credential; associating, by the processor, the second user profile with second device feature configuration that is different from the first device feature configuration; by the processor, causing the device to display a first security interface; by the processor, receiving the first access credential; by the processor, in response to receiving the first access credential via the first security interface, outputting a first application interface corresponding to the first device configuration, the first application interface including a first set of icons operative to initiate a plurality of mobile device applications, wherein one of the applications is a hidden security application, and wherein the hidden security application comprises a clock application that comprises an alarm function; receiving, by the processor, a command to execute the hidden security application; executing, by the processor, the hidden security application so that the device executes a second security interface, wherein the second security interface comprises an alarm setting interface; by the processor, receiving the second access credential, wherein receiving the second access credential comprises receiving, via the alarm setting interface, an expected sequence of alarm times; and by the processor, in response to receiving the second access credential via the second security interface, outputting a second application interface corresponding to the second device configuration, the second application interface including a second set of icons operative to initiate a plurality of mobile device applications.
