Abstract
The present invention includes as one embodiment a method for automatically controlling access to a mobile computing device with pertinent data. The method includes predefining access parameters of the mobile computing device, determining an actual location of the mobile computing device and using the actual location of the mobile computing device to automatically control access to the mobile computing device based on the predefined access parameters. Also, the method includes storing the predefined access parameters in a private Internet networked location, accessing and updating the predefined access parameters and sending the updated access parameters to the mobile computing device.
