First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing access rights for data held locally relative to a mobile communications device connected to a network, the data having a first set of access rights, the method comprising:
- detecting disconnection of the mobile communications device from the network; and
adjusting the access rights from the first set of access rights to a second set of access rights for the data on detection of the disconnection;
wherein the first set of access rights is different to said second set of access rights.

Abstract
An access rights management system is presented in which a mobile device may be allowed to access corporately held data in a flexible manner but in which the security and integrity of the data is maintained. The mobile device is provided with a rights adjustment module which modifies the access rights for locally stored corporate data in dependence on the connectivity of the mobile device with a corporate server.
