Patent number: 9848331Abstract: An approach for improving mobile device security is provided. The approach configures a passcode for accessing a mobile device, wherein configuring the passcode includes incorporating one or more hardware buttons into the passcode, such that the one or more hardware buttons are relevant when entering the passcode to gain entry to the mobile device. The approach receives a passcode attempt on the mobile device, wherein the passcode attempt includes a combination of one or more touch screen buttons and at least one of the one or more hardware buttons. The approach determines whether the passcode attempt matches the passcode. Responsive to a determination that the passcode attempt does not match the passcode, the approach denies access to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Darryl M.

Publication number: 20160042190Abstract: A method, computing device and computer program product for providing access control of applications on the computing device. The computing device receives a selection of a set of one or more screens from the owner of the mobile device. The computing device further receives a selection of application(s) to be placed in the selected set of screens. The computing device additionally receives a screen passcode to be assigned to the selected set of screens. The computing device then assigns the received screen passcode to the selected set of screens which enables access to the application(s) on the selected set of screens. In this manner, the owner of the computing device can limit other users' access to certain applications on the computing device by segregating the applications on different sets of screens, where each set of screens is assigned a screen passcode which grants access to that set of screens.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2014Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Darryl M.
