Portable wireless terminal and its security system
First Claim
1. A security system for a portable wireless terminal comprising:
- a portable wireless terminal; and
a server apparatus that remotely controls the portable wireless terminal to transmit data from the portable wireless terminal to the server apparatus via a wireless network and stores the transmitted data as backup data,wherein the server apparatus comprises a table containing identification information of a communication terminal registered by an owner of the portable wireless terminal, authenticates the communication terminal accessing the server apparatus based on detection of a match with the identification information in the table and, in response to a request from the communication terminal authenticated successfully, controls the portable wireless terminal to transmit the data stored in the portable wireless terminal to the server apparatus, and the portable wireless terminal splits the data to be transmitted to the server apparatus into a plurality of data fragments and cyclically transmits the data fragments through a plurality of base transceiver stations to the server apparatus.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a portable wireless terminal, and in particular, a portable wireless terminal such as a cellular phone, etc., and its security system that can reliably prevent, by remote control, improper use of the portable wireless terminal by a third party when it is lost or stolen.
The portable wireless terminal that uploads backup data to a center by remote control from the center via a wireless network includes: a data access control section 1-1 that, in response to an instructions from the center, prohibits access to the backup data retained by a portable wireless terminal or deletes the backup data; an encryption section 1-5 that encrypts the backup data by using a public key notified from the center or a public key owned by the portable wireless terminal itself in response to instructions from the center; and a data transmission section 1-2 to 1-4 that transmits the backup data split into a plurality of data fragments on a plurality of communication paths to the center according to transmission priority of the backup data that is notified from the center or owned by the portable wireless terminal itself.
