A method for administering multiple management agents on a mobile device, the method receiving, at a policy manager on the mobile device, a policy from each of the multiple management agents; determining a current state of the mobile device; and consolidating the policies based on rules within the policy manager and the current state of the mobile device.

Method and system for administering multiple domain management authorities on a mobile device

A method at a computing device having a plurality of concurrently operative operating systems, the method comprising: operating a proxy process within a target operating system on the computing device; receiving, from an originating operating system, a request for resources from a target process within the target operating system at the proxy process; requesting, from the proxy process, the resources of the target process; and returning a handle to the target process from the proxy process to the originating operating system.

System and method for coordinating process and memory management across domains

Systems, methods, and software can be used to launch an application. In some aspects, a plurality of process classes is configured. Each of the plurality of process classes includes one or more applications. Each of the process classes is configured to be associated with a template process. Each template process is associated with a different randomized memory layout. A launch request for an application is received. A process class that is associated with the application is determined in response to the launching request. The application is launched using the template process associated with the determined process class.

Launching an application

A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base ('FIB') on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.

Method and system for transition of applications to a second cellular data networking interface for a virtual SIM service

A method at a computing device having a plurality of concurrently operating domains for providing a unified home screen, the method sending a request for package information from a home screen application on the computing device; receiving the request for package information at a unified package manager on the computing device; requesting, from the plurality of concurrently operating domains, package information; receiving package information from at least one of the plurality of concurrently operating domains at the unified package manager on the computing device; decorating the received package information with domain information for a domain from which the package information was received at the unified package manager on the computing device; and providing the decorated package information to the home screen application.

System and method for unifying the listing and launching of applications and packages spread across multiple domains

A device and its operations are described herein. In some examples, the operations can include executing a first application within a first operating system domain of a device, the first application associated with at least a first activity view. The operations can further include detecting user input associated with the first application. The user input is associated with activating a second activity view of a second application. The operations can further include determining that the second application corresponds to a second operating system domain of the device. The operations can further include establishing a first proxy link within the first operating system domain that corresponds with a second proxy link within the second operating system domain. The first proxy link is associated with causing the second proxy link to invoke the second activity view of the second application within the second operating system domain.

Coordinating activity views across operating system domains

A system and method wherein a set of privileges assigned to a process may be modified responsive to a request. The modification may apply to one or more abilities within the set of privileges and may be applied during execution of the process subsequent to the process creation time. Accordingly a process may be created with a default set of privileges and subsequently the privileges may be modified (e.g. to include a sub-set of the default privileges) thereby mitigating the risk of malicious exploitation of the process through attack.

System and method for changing abilities of a process

Some aspects of what is described here relate to managing permission settings applied to applications on a mobile device. Multiple management policies that apply to an application associated with a perimeter on a device are identified. A priority ranking for each management policy is determined for the application based on the perimeter with which the application is associated. A permission setting based on the priority rankings is applied to the application.

Managing permission settings applied to applications

A system for selecting an active control path link as a communication link between a control shelf and a controlled shelf in a multi-shelf network element is provided. The system includes a first and a second control path links connecting the control shelf to the controlled shelf. The system also includes an assessment module adapted to assess health of transmissions sent through each of the first and the second control path link and a selection module associated with the assessment module. The selection module is adapted to select the active control path link as either of the first and the second control path link utilizing a health report relating to the first and the second control path link generated by the assessment module.
