The present invention relates to a mobile device management system in the workplace, and more particularly, to a mobile device management system for implementing functions such as application management, security management, asset management, loss management, etc. of the mobile terminal in the workplace.

In general, a mobile device refers to a compact and lightweight digital device that each individual can carry with him anywhere, anytime.

Mobile devices, that is, hardware, are already being challenged by numerous companies in Korea and are developing differently every day. Already, mobile phones are becoming smaller and lighter than consumer demands as mobile devices, and smartphones, PDAs, and portable PCs, which can perform more advanced functions, are also approaching the pocket size category.

In addition, wireless communication network has also evolved from circuit communication for voice call to packet for data transmission, and the speed of communication is close to the speed of existing wired modem, and IMT-2000, which is attracting worldwide attention, is more than wired network of 2Mbps through wireless. It is developing into a system that guarantees communication speed.

In particular, in the case of Korea, an unprecedented advanced system has been established in a world where the entire area is constructed by a single network called CDMA, so global hardware providers are entering the Korean market. In other words, the Korean market is playing the role of the best technical testing ground to lead the global mobile trend.

Meanwhile, each company is making efforts to maximize work efficiency by applying mobile devices to work systems according to the development of mobile technology.

However, operating systems and / or communication environments for each mobile device were not sufficient to expand the business structure of each company to mobile.

In addition, the use of mobile devices has a problem that the security of the enterprise can not be strictly controlled.
