Mode-based access control method and device
First Claim
1. A mode-based access control method comprising:
- making a security mode list which indicates security setting states of devices existing in a network;
setting, by a user, a specific security mode selected from security modes on the security mode list; and
making the devices perform functions thereof in the specific security mode,wherein the making of the security mode list comprises;
performing user authentication to check whether a user has an authority to make the security mode list;
if the user has authority to make the security mode list, editing the security mode list by adding a new security mode to the security mode list or removing an existing security mode from the security mode list;
grouping devices that each security mode can be applied to the security mode list;
setting service item values of the devices based on information on access control lists (ACL) of the devices; and
reflecting contents performed in the grouping of the devices and the setting of the service item values in the security mode list,wherein the security mode list is modifiable by a user,wherein the setting of the specific security mode comprises;
performing user authentication to check whether a user has an authority to set the security mode;
if the user has authority to set the security mode, selecting a security mode that the user wants to set;
synchronizing all the ACLs respectively stored in the devices to be operated in the selected security mode; and
collectively changing the security settings states of the devices based on the access control lists,wherein the making the devices perform functions there of comprises causing the devices having the synchronized ACLs to perform functions thereof according to the service item values of the devices, andwherein the mode-based access control method further comprises converting the specific security mode based on a result of comparing mode priorities of the security modes.

Abstract
Provided is a mode-based access control method that includes: making a security mode list which indicates security setting states of devices existing in a home network; setting a specific security mode selected from the modes on the security mode list; and making the devices perform functions thereof in the specific security mode. Also, provided is a mode-based access control device includes: an authentication unit which checks information on a user and authenticates the user; a mode configuration unit which makes a security mode list indicating the security setting state of devices forming a home network; a mode setting unit which sets a specific security mode selected from modes on the security mode list; and an operating unit which causes the devices to perform functions thereof in the specific security mode.

8. A mode-based access control device comprising:
-
an authentication unit which checks information on a user and authenticates the user; a mode configuration unit which makes a security mode list indicating the security setting state of devices forming a home network, if the user has authority to make the security mode list; a mode setting unit which sets, according to a user, a specific security mode selected from security modes on the security mode list, if the user has authority to set the specific security mode; and an operating unit which causes the devices to perform functions thereof in the specific security mode, wherein the mode configuration unit comprises; a mode editing unit which edits the security mode list by adding a new security mode to the security mode list or by removing an existing security mode from the security mode list; a device list administrating unit which groups devices to be operated in the modes of the security mode list; a device access control list (ACL) editing unit which provides information on ACLs of the devices to set service item values of the devices; and a mode list administrating unit which reflects content produced by the device ACL editing unit in the security mode list, and wherein the security mode list is modifiable by a user, wherein the mode setting unit selects the security mode set by the authenticated user and further comprises an SC function unit which synchronizes ACLs respectively stored in the devices to be operated in the selected security mode, wherein the operating unit causes the device having the synchronized ACL to perform a function thereof according to the service item value of the device, wherein the security settings states of the devices are collectively changed based on the access control lists,and wherein the mode-based access control device further comprises a mode converting unit which converts the specific security mode based on a result of comparing mode priorities of the security modes. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
