A method of providing a mobile application service on a user equipment based on composing a plurality of services supported by service platforms executing in a backend of a communication network. The method comprises receiving a request for a content service from a mobile application executing on a user equipment (UE) by a mobile application framework (MAF) and verifying the request for the content service by the MAF through a communication service provider platform, wherein the communication service provider platform completes verification in part by invoking a service of the MAF. The method further comprises completing a payment transaction for the content service by the MAF through messaging a payment platform, wherein the payment platform iteratively invokes services of the MAF and ordering the content service delivery by the MAF through messaging a content provider platform, wherein the content provider platform iteratively invokes services of the MAF.

Service composition in a mobile communication device application framework

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a non-transitory memory, a mobile application installed in the memory, and a mobile application framework (MAF) client installed in the memory. When executed by the processor, the MAF client receives a request to access services of a MAF from the mobile application, retrieves a digital certificate associated with the mobile application, sends an application validation request comprising the certificate and an application identity to a MAF server, receives an application validation token from the MAF server, and provides the application validation token to the mobile application, whereby the mobile application is granted access to a first security tier of MAF services.

Security tiering in a mobile communication device application framework

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a memory, a radio transceiver, and a mobile application framework client stored in the memory. When executed by the processor the client receives a request for a communication service via an API, builds a service request message comprising an application identity and an identity of the requested service, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a first communication channel defined by a first access point node (APN) specified by the client to a server, receives a first service response message comprising a second APN from the server, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a second communication channel defined by the second APN to the server, and receives a second service response message from the second communication channel defined by the second APN from the server.

A system or method of remotely managing security certificates on a mobile device is provided. Certificates on a mobile device may be added to, deleted from, or updated by a server that manages certificates on one or more mobile devices. The server may retrieve new certificates from a certificate authority and push the certificate to the mobile device where it is stored for subsequent use. The management of security certificates on a mobile device may be governed by one or more certificate-management rules that are enforced by the remote server and/or the mobile device.

Managing certificates on a mobile device

A method, system, and medium are provided for receiving content that has features, which are supportable using capabilities of a computing device. On the computing device, an application is installed or removed. A determination is made as to whether the installation or removal changed an ability of the computing device to support content having certain features. The computing device provides to an interface an indication that describes an ability of the computing device to support content features. The indication is usable by the interface to facilitate an exchange of information between the computing device and a content server.

Receiving content having features that are supportable using capabilities of a computing device

A method, system, and medium are provided for managing cache allocation between a primary storage and a secondary storage. The system includes a device with a primary storage, secondary storage, and cache manager. The method includes downloading a web resource, storing the web resource in the primary storage, determining the amount of time required to download the web resource, and determining the amount of time required to retrieve the web resource from the secondary storage. If the amount of time required to retrieve the web resource from the secondary storage is less than the amount of time required to download the web resource, the method stores the web resource in the secondary storage. Additionally, web resources may be moved from the secondary storage to the primary storage based on their likelihood of being utilized.

Computer-readable media are described to delete a wireless user's website-specific data, or cookies from a wireless-network gateway. A control port is provided at the wireless-network gateway and is configured to receive commands to delete a user's cookies from databases associated with the wireless-network gateway. A command message including a command to delete the user's website-specific data is received from the user's mobile device. The command message includes a unique user identifier to assist in identifying the user's website-specific data. The user's website-specific data are also labeled with the unique user identifier when stored in the databases. The user's website-specific data are identified in the databases using the unique identifier and are deleted. A status indication may be communicated to the mobile device and to the user to indicate successful deletion of the user's cookies.
