A method for providing an administration policy to a user device comprising a plurality of applications, the method comprising centrally generating the administration policy to be implemented in the user device, the administration policy comprising at least one of an application administration policy to be used by at least one of the plurality of applications and a client administration policy for the user device; and providing the generated policy to the user device.

Method for providing wireless application privilege management

A method for automatically registering the runtime environment and related component applications with an application gateway when transferring the applications from a first wireless device to a second wireless device is provided. Applications installed on the first wireless device are registered with an application gateway, which maintains a registration list of identification information for all registered wireless devices and applications installed thereon. A back-up is created of the applications and registration information for the runtime environment installed on the first wireless device for transfer to a second wireless device. An application container of the second wireless device determining installation and communicating to the application gateway identification information regarding the second wireless device and the restored applications. The application gateway registers the second wireless device by updating the registration list with the identification information for the second wireless device and the applications installed thereon.

System and method for efficient transfer of applications and data during device swap

A method of presenting data entities of standard device applications in wireless devices is provided. Component-based applications are hosted on a wireless device providing an application runtime environment for hosting at least one component-based application. Component definitions are hosted for developing the component-based application. A standard data component implements a standard data component definition; the standard data component definition is embedded into the component-based application definition during development. The standard data component providing access to a standard device data entity by invoking device dependent APIs the standard data component presenting the standard device data entity as a user defined data component. The application runtime environment automatically making functionality available of the user defined data components available to standard data component.

System and method of presenting entities of standard applications in wireless devices

A method is disclosed for facilitating development of an application having access to a database data-source. The method comprises the following steps. At least one subroutine that is a candidate for potentially including hidden information is identified. A definition document for the subroutine is generated using information available from its available schema metadata. The subroutine is executed via the database data-source. A result set of the executed subroutine is analysed for exposing any hidden information. The analysis is used to supplement the definition document with additional schema information to describe a structure of the exposed information. The definition document can then be used in developing the application. A development tool and computer readable medium configured to implement the method are also disclosed.

Database exploration for building wireless component applications

A method of registering a central container application executing on a mobile device with one of one or more mediator services executing on one or more remote servers is provided. Configuration information is received at the mobile device identifying a mediator service of the one or more mediator services the central container application is to register with. The central container application is notified that the configuration information is available. The central container application is registered with the identified first mediator service. The configuration information is retrieved and communication is established with the mediator service identified in the configuration information. Information regarding the current state of the central container application is send to the identified mediator service. Administrative information is then received from the mediator service.

System and method of device-to-server registration

Methods and systems for controlling centralized memory management in wireless terminal devices. Memory management scripts associated with a wireless application are stored in a registry accessible through a data network for on-demand download and execution. A memory management kernel in each terminal device monitors a memory utilization of the terminal device. Based on the memory utilization, the memory management kernel interacts with an application gateway hosting the terminal device to download and execute one or more of the memory management scripts.

Method and system for centralized memory management in wireless terminal devices

A data entity presentation system and method of presenting data entities of standard device applications in wireless devices are provided. The data entity presentation system comprises an application runtime environment module for hosting component-based applications on a device, an integrated development environment for hosting component definitions and a device repository for storing device data and device-specific application programming interfaces. The method comprises the steps of hosting component-based applications on a device, hosting component definitions and storing device data and device-specific application programming interfaces.

System and method of presenting entities of standard device applications in wireless devices

A method for changing visual attributes presented by a graphical user interface of a device such as a mobile electronic device by loading onto the device a file containing information for changing selected visual attributes of the interface. A method or compiler for generating or compiling a file that contains information used by a device to change the user interface presented by the device.

Method and data structure for user interface customization

A device-to-server registration system and method of registering a wireless device with a mediator service responsible for allowing the wireless device to communicate with a back-end service are provided. The device-to-server registration system comprises a device-to-server registration module for communicating with a device administration service of the wireless device and a device registration module of a mediator service for registering a wireless device with the mediator service. The device registration module communicates with the device-to-server registration module. The method comprises the steps of communicating with a device administration service of a wireless device to obtain information pertaining to the mediator service and communicating with a device registration module of the mediator service to register with the mediator service.
