A method of processing a user interface component is provided and includes receiving one or more user interface components that can be communicated to a wireless device. A component risk level for each of the one or more user interface components is determined and assigned to each of the one or more user interface components. Each of the one or more user interface components can be digitally signed using an embedded risk code that indicates the assigned risk level. Further, the component risk level can be selected from a plurality of component risk levels. In a particular embodiment, the component risk level can be determined based on the type of the user interface component. Further, the component risk level can be determined based on a developer of the user interface component.

System and method for downloading user interface components to wireless devices

System for application priority based on device operating mode. A method is provided for allocating a top visible resource on a device. The method includes receiving a request requesting allocation of the top visible resource to a requesting application, and determining that the top visible resource is allocated to an owning application. The method also includes associating owner information with requester information to form an arbitration request. The method also includes arbitrating the arbitration request to produce an arbitration decision that indicates that the top visible resource is to be allocated to the requesting application if the owner information indicates that the owning application is privileged and an identifier that identifies the requesting application is contained in a relinquish list associated with the owner information.

System for application priority based on device operating mode

A system for saving application state history information, containing an historical snap-shot of dynamic application state information associated with execution of a first application on a computing device. The application state history information is saved for use in a subsequent re-launch of the first application.

Method, software and apparatus for using application state history information when re-launching applications

Methods and apparatus for continuation passing in a virtual machine (VM). A method is provided for operating a virtual machine to provide continuation passing in a wireless device. The virtual machine comprises a stack memory. The method comprises encountering a context-creating trigger, constructing a continuation block in response to the trigger that comprises a stack fragment derived from the stack memory, encountering an evaluation instruction, and storing the stack fragment from the continuation block on the stack memory in response to the evaluation instruction.
