A system and method for confirming an application change event associated with a device infrastructure of a mobile device, the method comprising: identifying an application change event processed by the device infrastructure; disabling an application associated with the application change event; sending an application authorization request from the mobile device over a communications network, the application authorization request including application identification information which identifies the application associated with the application change event; receiving a decision instruction at the mobile device, the decision instruction being based on a comparison of the application identification information with one or more listed applications in a plurality of applications identified in an application authorization list, the application authorization list being remote from the mobile device over the communications network; and performing an action on the mobile device in respect of the application associated with the application change event, based on the decision instruction.

Centralized selective application approval for mobile devices

A multi-environment computer device configured for providing a work environment type and a personal environment type via a user interface for a device user, each of the environments having the same persona, the device having: a computer processor coupled to a memory, wherein the computer processor is programmed to coordinate interaction between the device user and the pair of environments presented on the user interface by: configuring the user interface to present the personal environment for facilitating interaction between the device user and personal applications associated with the personal environment, the personal environment having an assigned user name of said persona and a personal password, the personal environment presented using a set of unique personal environment user interface design elements for distinguishing the personal environment from the work environment via the user interface; and responding to a switch environment command generated by a switch mechanism invoked by the device user via the user interface to replace the personal environment with the work environment on the user interface.

Multi-profile mobile device interface for same user

A system and method for confirming an application change event associated with a device infrastructure of a mobile device, the method comprising the steps of: storing an application authorization list identifying a plurality of mobile applications, the application authorization list being remote from the mobile device over a communications network; receiving an application authorization request from the mobile device over the communications network, the application authorization request including application identification information; comparing the application identification information with one or more listed mobile applications of the plurality of mobile applications identified in the application authorization list; determining whether the application information matches any of the plurality of mobile applications to produce a decision instruction containing an authorization decision; and sending the decision instruction to the mobile device for subsequent processing of the decision instruction by a mobile agent associated with the device infrastructure; wherein processing of the decision instruction provides for confirmation of the application change event.
