METHOD AND APPLICATIONS FOR DETECTING COMPUTER VIRUSES
First Claim
1. A method for detecting computer viruses, which is adapted for detecting whether data received by a mobile terminal via a network is infected by a computer virus, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) enabling a server device to make statistics of computer virus infection record of the mobile terminal and infection record of all computer viruses in the network, respectively, so as to obtain infection number rankings of viruses that infected the mobile terminal and all computer viruses in the network, respectively;
(b) enabling the server device to generate virus pattern data according to infection number ranking results of the viruses that infected the mobile terminal and all computer viruses in the network;
(c) enabling the server device to transmit the virus pattern data to the mobile terminal via the network;
(d) enabling the mobile terminal to receive the data via the network; and
(e) enabling the mobile terminal to detect whether the data is infected by a computer virus with reference to the virus pattern data, and to transmit computer virus infection information to the server device upon detection that the data is infected by a computer virus.

5. A mobile terminal adapted for detecting, with assistance from a server device, whether data received via a network is infected by a computer virus, said mobile terminal comprising:
-
a virus infection information database for storing computer virus infection information; a virus pattern database for recording virus pattern data; a transceiver unit for sending the computer virus infection information to the server device and for receiving the data via the network; a virus pattern updating unit for updating the virus pattern data stored in said virus pattern database; a virus detecting unit for detecting whether the data received by said transceiver unit is infected by a computer virus with reference to the virus pattern data stored in said virus pattern database; and an infection information notifying and storing unit for notifying the server device that the data received by said transceiver unit is infected by a computer virus according to a virus detection result received from said virus detecting unit, and for recording the computer virus infection information in said virus infection information database. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A server device adapted for assisting a mobile terminal via a network to detect whether data received via the network is infected by a computer virus, said server device comprising:
-
a virus infection information database for storing computer virus infection information of the mobile terminal and infection information of all computer viruses in the network; a virus pattern database for recording virus pattern data of all computer viruses in the network; a statistics unit for making statistics of computer virus infection record of the mobile terminal and infection record of all computer viruses in the network as found in said virus infection information database so as to obtain infection number rankings of viruses that infected the mobile terminal and all computer viruses in the network; a ratio determining unit for determining a ratio of a number of kinds of computer viruses that had infected the mobile terminal to a number of kinds of computer viruses that had infected the network for subsequent generation of virus pattern data according to the infection number rankings of the viruses that infected the mobile terminal and all computer viruses in the network as determined by said statistics unit; a virus pattern generating unit for generating the virus pattern data according to the ratio determined by said ratio determining unit, wherein the virus pattern data is to be transmitted to the mobile terminal for subsequent use by the mobile terminal in detecting whether the data received via the network is infected by a computer virus; a transceiver unit for sending and receiving the computer virus infection information and the data, and for sending the virus pattern data to the mobile terminal; and a virus detecting unit for detecting whether data transmitted from the mobile terminal is infected by a computer virus with reference to the virus pattern data of all computer viruses as recorded in said virus pattern database, and for storing the computer virus infection information in said virus infection information database. - View Dependent Claims (9)
