Automatically controls app and feature access when entering or exiting security zones. Ensures peace of mind for both administrators and users, minimizes information leakage risks, and supports secure mobile usage.

IoT-EX Inc. (Headquarters: 3F Kanda Business Cube, 5-1 Kanda Toyama-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshihiro Obata; hereinafter IoT-EX) is pleased to announce the release of a promotional video for its mobile device management (MDM) solution, “BizMobile Go! Geofence Solution”, which utilizes our patented technology (International Publication No. WO2009/096561).

This solution is an advanced MDM option that can automatically switch a device’s apps and features based on whether the device is within a specific geographic area (geofence).

■Key Features of BizMobile Go! Geofence Solution

The key feature of this solution is its ability to implement geofencing functionality without collecting terminal users’ location data, achieved through IoT-EX’s patented technology (WO2009/096561). This enables the simultaneous realization of privacy protection and high security.

【Automatic Mode Switching for Peace of Mind for Both Administrators and Users】 Patented technology “WO2009/096561” enables the management system to automatically command and execute device setting changes based on the device entering or exiting security areas defined in Google Maps. This mechanism automatically switches the display, availability, and functionality of apps and features on the device.

• Benefits for device administrators: Automatically enforce “the right device in the right place” Prevents manual configuration errors and user-initiated policy bypasses, ensuring security rules are consistently applied based on location. This minimizes risks of data leaks and unauthorized use, allowing you to confidently entrust mobile operations.
• Benefits for End Users: Comfortable with Privacy-Conscious Automatic Control When entering a work area, necessary apps become automatically available, and restrictions are lifted outside the area. The device automatically switches to the appropriate state based on location, eliminating manual effort and allowing stress-free concentration on work. Especially for BYOD devices, no personal information—such as private app data or usage history—is collected, ensuring maximum consideration for individual privacy.

■ Primary Use Cases and Implementation Benefits

This solution is being adopted across diverse industries and fields, centered on the following three key control functions designed to prevent unauthorized use of terminals and ensure proper handling of confidential information.

1. Application Usage Control and Internal Resource Access Control
   • When entering a designated work area (such as an office, hospital, or store), work apps automatically display and activate.
   • Access to work apps handling confidential information and internal resources (such as VPN connections) is restricted to authorized areas only, enabling secure mobility.
2. Device Usage Control
   • In the event of unauthorized removal outside business areas, loss, or theft of terminals such as those used in stores or guest rooms, the entire device is forcibly switched to a restricted usage mode (such as SingleApp/KIOSK mode) to prevent unauthorized use and information leaks.
3. Camera function disabled
   • When entering security areas such as construction sites, factories, or schools, you can completely disable all camera functions on your device (including the standard camera and cameras within other apps).
   • Ensures thorough protection of corporate secrets and student/child privacy, such as factory manufacturing processes and construction site blueprints. BYOD device cameras can also be controlled.
