隨著智慧型手機與平板電腦的普及，越來越多人使用智慧型行動裝置。而行動裝置作業系統(如: Android) 為了顧及使用者的安全性，增設了自動鎖定機制，在手機休眠後會自動鎖定螢幕，必須輸入圖形鎖、PIN碼或密碼才能解鎖。而作業系統開發商為了兼顧安全性與便利性，另外增加了自動鎖定倒數設定，使用者可以決定在行動裝置休眠後要等待多久後才把螢幕上鎖。但此自動鎖定倒數時間在系統中通常只有幾種固定選項來讓使用者作選擇，使用者不易挑出最符合自身使用習慣的倒數時間。
因此，本篇論文開發了一套為行動裝置設計之智慧型自動鎖定機制，能根據使用者的過去習慣 (如：過去常去的地點、不同時間的手機使用頻率) 來動態調整自動鎖定倒數時間，能針對不同的使用者提供客製化的自動鎖定機制，並同時在安全性與便利性中找出最佳的平衡點。

As the popularity of smart phone and tablet, there are more and more people have their own mobile devices. To increase the security of the phone, some of operating systems (e.g. Android) add auto-lock mechanism. The mechanism will lock the screen after the device sleep. In order to balance the security and convenience, they also develop counting time of auto-lock. After the device sleep, if the device does not wake up in counting time, the screen will lock. But the auto-lock time only has few options to let the user choose. User may not know which one is the best choice for him.
In the paper, we present Intelligent Auto-lock Scheme for mobile devices. It can change the auto-lock time based on the user behavior dynamically (e.g. the place where user often to go, the frequency of using the device in different time period), and trade off security and convenience. For different user, the scheme can provide different auto-lock time strategy for each device.
