活水亭观书有感其一

An iPad makes a great “kiosk” device–a tablet restricted to one specific app for your home or small business. You can create a makeshift kiosk using the Guided Access feature, or enable Single App Mode for a true kiosk environment.

iPad是出色的“信息亭”设备-平板电脑仅限于针对您的家庭或小型企业的一个特定应用程序。您可以使用“引导访问”功能创建一个临时信息亭，或者为真正的信息亭环境启用“单应用程序模式”。

Both of these tricks also work on an iPhone or iPod Touch, so you can use it to put a smaller device into kiosk mode.

这两个技巧都可以在iPhone或iPod Touch上使用，因此您可以使用它来将较小的设备设置为信息亭模式。

引导访问与单应用程序模式 (Guided Access vs. Single App Mode)

There are two ways to do this. Guided Access is the quickest, easiest way to put an iPad in kiosk mode. Guided Access is often thought of as a parental control feature, but it’s actually intended for teachers in schools–that’s why it’s categorized as a “Learning” feature in Apple’s iOS.

有两种方法可以做到这一点。引导访问是将iPad置于信息亭模式的最快，最简单的方法。引导访问通常被认为是家长控制功能，但实际上是为学校的老师设计的，这就是为什么它在Apple iOS中被归类为“学习”功能。

Guided Access allows you to temporarily lock an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch to a single app. To leave that app, someone will have to enter your PIN or provide your fingerprint.

引导式访问允许您将iPad，iPhone或iPod Touch暂时锁定到单个应用程序。要离开该应用，必须有人输入您的PIN或提供您的指纹。

There’s also Single App Mode, which is exactly what it sounds like: It fully locks your iPad to a single app. This is a more advanced feature intended for organizations. You’ll need to use Apple Configurator (or a mobile device management server) to enable this feature, and it can only be disabled with the same tool. However, you need to have access to a Mac to use Apple Configurator and Single App Mode.

还有一个“单应用程序模式”，它的确切含义是：将iPad完全锁定到一个应用程序。这是面向组织的更高级的功能。您需要使用Apple Configurator(或移动设备管理服务器)来启用此功能，并且只能使用同一工具将其禁用。但是，您需要访问Mac才能使用Apple Configurator和Single App Mode。

If you need to set up a quick and dirty kiosk, Guided Access is an okay solution. But, if you want to do this properly, you should use Single App Mode. Single App Mode is a more secure solution because no one can attempt to guess your PIN to leave Single App Mode, as they can with Guided Access. More importantly, if someone resets the iPad by pressing and holding the “Sleep/Wake” and “Home” buttons at the same time, the iPad will boot back up into the app you configured. If you used Guided Access, it would just boot back up and ask you to sign in with your PIN. The iPad would remain secure–as long as someone can’t guess the PIN–but you’d have to sign in and manually enable Guided Access mode for that specific app again.

如果您需要设置一个快速且肮脏的信息亭，引导式访问是一个不错的解决方案。但是，如果要正确执行此操作，则应使用“单应用程序模式”。单一应用程序模式是一种更安全的解决方案，因为没人能像引导式访问那样尝试猜测您的PIN离开单一应用程序模式。更重要的是，如果有人通过同时按住“睡眠/唤醒”和“主页”按钮来重置iPad，则iPad将重新启动进入您配置的应用程序。如果您使用的是Guided Access，则只需重新引导并要求您使用PIN登录。只要有人无法猜出PIN码，iPad就会保持安全，但是您必须登录并再次为该特定应用手动启用“引导访问”模式。

引导式访问：快速而肮脏的解决方案 (Guided Access: The Quick and Dirty Solution)

To do this with Guided Access, first enable it by opening the Settings app and going to General > Accessibility > Guided Access. Enable the “Guided Access” slider here.

要使用“引导访问”来执行此操作，请首先通过打开“设置”应用并将其转到“常规”>“辅助功能”>“引导访问”来启用它。在此处启用“引导访问”滑块。

Tap “Passcode Settings” to set a PIN for guided access and choose whether or not you can exit Guided Access with Touch ID, if your iPad has a Touch ID sensor. You can use the same PIN you use to unlock the iPad or a different one.

点击“密码设置”以设置用于引导访问的PIN，并选择是否可以使用Touch ID退出引导访问(如果iPad具有Touch ID传感器)。您可以使用与解锁iPad相同的PIN或不同的PIN。

Next, launch the app you’d like to lock your iPad to. Quickly press the “Home” button three times in a row. The Guided Access screen will appear, and you can use the options here to configure it. By default, the touch screen is enabled and the Sleep/Wake button is disabled. However, you can disable the touch screen and allow people to use the Sleep/Wake button, if you like.

接下来，启动您要锁定iPad的应用程序。连续三下快速按下“主页”按钮。将出现“引导访问”屏幕，您可以使用此处的选项进行配置。默认情况下，触摸屏处于启用状态，而睡眠/唤醒按钮处于禁用状态。但是，可以根据需要禁用触摸屏，并允许其他人使用“睡眠/唤醒”按钮。

Tap “Start” in the top-right corner of your screen when you’re ready. While in Guided Access mode, the iPad’s screen won’t turn off–it’ll remain on and unlocked for anyone to use it. You may want to plug the iPad in if you intend on leaving it on. You could also choose to enable the Sleep/Wake button on the Guided Access screen. This will allow anyone to turn off the iPad’s screen. Anyone can turn it on and they’ll be taken to the app in Guided Access mode without having to enter a PIN.

准备好后，点击屏幕右上角的“开始”。在“引导访问”模式下，iPad的屏幕不会关闭-它将保持打开和解锁状态，任何人都可以使用它。如果您打算打开iPad，则可能需要插入iPad。您还可以选择在“引导访问”屏幕上启用“睡眠/唤醒”按钮。这将允许任何人关闭iPad的屏幕。任何人都可以打开它，并且无需输入PIN即可将其带入引导访问模式的应用程序。

单应用模式：最佳解决方案 (Single App Mode: The Best Solution)

Single App Mode requires you put your iPad into Supervised Mode, so it’s a bit more work to set up. Single App Mode can also be remotely enabled via a mobile device management (MDM) server if your organization uses one to manage your tablets. If you just need a temporary kiosk and don’t want to bother with this, use the above solution. For a more permanent kiosk, this is ideal.

单一应用程序模式要求您将iPad置于“监督模式”，因此要进行设置还需要更多工作。如果您的组织使用平板电脑，则可以通过移动设备管理(MDM)服务器远程启用“单应用程序模式”。如果您只需要一个临时信息亭而又不想打扰，请使用上述解决方案。对于更永久的售货亭，这是理想的选择。

To do this without a mobile device management server, you’ll first need to download and install Apple Configurator from Apple and use it to place your iPad into Supervised Mode. You can then use Apple Configurator to enable Single App Mode. This can only be done on a Mac, as Apple Configurator only runs on Macs.

要在没有移动设备管理服务器的情况下执行此操作，首先需要从Apple下载并安装Apple Configurator ，然后使用它将iPad置于“监督模式” 。然后，您可以使用Apple Configurator启用单应用程序模式。这只能在Mac上完成，因为Apple Configurator仅在Mac上运行。

With your iPad in Supervised Mode and connected to your Mac via a USB cable, open the Apple Configurator application and select the connected device. Click the “Actions” menu, point to “Advanced,” and select “Start Single App Mode.”

在iPad处于监督模式并通过USB电缆连接到Mac的情况下，打开Apple Configurator应用程序并选择连接的设备。单击“操作”菜单，指向“高级”，然后选择“启动单应用程序模式”。

You’ll be shown a list of apps installed on your iPad–both system apps and apps you’ve installed yourself. Select the app you want to lock the iPad to.

您将看到在iPad上安装的应用程序的列表-系统应用程序和您自己安装的应用程序。选择您要锁定iPad的应用程序。

For more options, you can click the “Options” button here. By default, features like the touch screen, volume buttons, sleep/wake button, and auto-lock are all functional. However, you could use these options to disable the touch screen if you don’t want anyone actually interacting with the device, or to disable the sleep/wake button and auto-lock. This will ensure the iPad always has its screen on, which may be ideal if you’re leaving it plugged in. It’s up to you.

有关更多选项，您可以单击此处的“选项”按钮。默认情况下，触摸屏，音量按钮，睡眠/唤醒按钮和自动锁定等功能均可用。但是，如果您不希望任何人实际与设备进行交互，则可以使用这些选项来禁用触摸屏，或者禁用睡眠/唤醒按钮和自动锁定。这样可以确保iPad始终处于打开状态，如果您将其插入电源，这可能是理想的选择。

Click the “Select App” button when you’re done and the iPad will be truly locked to a single app. People with access to it won’t be able to triple-click the “Home” button and attempt to guess your PIN. When the iPad boots up, it’ll go right back to that specific app.

完成后，单击“选择应用程序”按钮，iPad就会真正锁定到单个应用程序。有权使用它的人将无法三键单击“主页”按钮并尝试猜测您的PIN码。 iPad启动后，它将立即返回到该特定应用。

To disable Single App Mode in the future, connect the iPad to the Mac again, open Apple Configurator, and use the Actions > Advanced > Stop Single App Mode option.

要将来禁用单应用程序模式，请再次将iPad连接到Mac，打开Apple Configurator，然后使用操作>高级>停止单应用程序模式选项。

Apple provides the tools you need to put an iPad into kiosk mode and lock it to a single app, but choosing an app and ensuring it functions as a proper kiosk environment is up to you. Businesses may need to have custom apps created for specific functions.

Apple提供了将iPad置于信息亭模式并锁定到单个应用程序所需的工具，但是选择一个应用程序并确保将其用作合适的信息亭环境由您自己决定。企业可能需要针对特定功能创建自定义应用。
