A wireless communication device that has one or more applications resident on a computer platform, a wireless communication interface, a display, and a user interface that, at least, appears on the display. The one or more applications and/or an arbiter that is resident on the computer platform may determine which user interface of the one or more applications resident on the computer platform controls the display based upon a predetermined criteria when the user interfaces compete for control of the display. In another embodiment, an application that does not comply with the determination of which application controls the display may be terminated. A method may be performed to determine which application may control a display of a plurality of displays of the wireless communication device. A method may be performed to associate user input data with applications when there is a change of control of a display.

Wireless communication device having deterministic control of foreground access of the user interface

In an embodiment, a multi-processor mobile communications device includes a first processor system executing a concurrency manager server application (CMSA) and a second processor system executing a concurrency manager client application (CMCA). The CMSA determines priority levels related to access to resources for a first set of applications that are configured for execution on the first processor system and a second set of applications that are configured for execution on the second processor system. The CMSA notifies the CMCA of the determined priorities. The CMSA and the CMCA each then selectively grant or reject access to the resources for the first and second sets of applications, respectively, based on the determined priorities levels. In another embodiment, if the CMSA or CMCA rejects an application's request to access resources, the CMSA or CMCA can determine availability of alternative resources by which the requesting application can achieve its goal.

Arbitrating resource acquisition for applications of a multi-processor mobile communications device

A wireless communication device that has one or more applications resident on a computer platform, a wireless communication interface, a display, and a user interface that, at least, appears on the display and through which a user of the wireless communication device interacts with the computer platform. The display is configured to be selectively controlled by the specific user interfaces of one or more applications resident on the computer platform, and the one or more applications and/or an arbiter that is resident on the computer platform will determine which user interface of the one or more applications resident on the computer platform controls the display based upon a predetermined criteria when the user interfaces compete for control of the display.

Historical association data is used when deciding whether to associate with an access point in a wireless network.
