An integrated circuit card includes a storage device to store one or more code files and one or more data files, and control logic. The control logic implements an ICC runtime environment that executes an applet in response to a command identifying both a code file and a data file received from a host system.

Method and apparatus for sharing data files among runtime environment applets in an integrated circuit card

An integrated circuit (IC) module allows volatile data generated by applications to be stored within volatile data files in the volatile memory. A file system tracks the location of all data files as residing in either volatile memory or nonvolatile memory and facilitates access to the volatile data files in volatile memory in a similar manner to accessing nonvolatile data files in nonvolatile memory. The file system exposes a set of application program interfaces (APIs) to allow applications to access the data files. The same APIs are used to access both volatile data files and nonvolatile data files. When an application requests access to a data file, the file system initially determines whether the application is authorized to gain access to the data file. If it is, the file system next determines whether the data file resides in volatile memory or nonvolatile memory. Once the memory region is identified, the file system identifies the physical location of the data file.

Smart card with volatile memory file subsystem

In one embodiment, software updates are applied to one or more client computers. The one or more client computers are assigned a level of service governing aspects of the application of the updates. The scheduling of the application of the software updates is done according to the level of service. The application of the software update is then performed according to the schedule.

Software updating system and method

In one embodiment, a server/client system, configured to update client software, generates audit data by analyzing a client's file configuration with respect to rules within an update catalog. The audit data is then moved to the server, where updates indicated by the audit data may be approved. The approved updates are then distributed from the server to the client for installation.

The present invention provides a system and method of installing software updates to computing devices connected to an enterprise network. More specifically, the present invention provides a system and method of installing software updates based on input received from a system administrator or similar entity. When a command to install a software update is received, the present invention obtains the requested software update from a download center and causes the software update to be transmitted to client computing devices that need the functionality provided by the software update. Then the software update is installed in accordance with the input previously obtained from the system administrator.

System and method of installing software updates in a computer networking environment

An integrated circuit (IC) card is presented comprising an input/output (I/O) interface and a smart card development interface (SCDI), coupled to the I/O interface, to receive and identify debug frames interlaced within a normal communication flow between the IC card and a host system.

Interlaced protocol for smart card application development

The wireless environment includes an object processing module to process objects obtained from a wireless receiver on the mobile device. The object processing module processes the object to alter data stored in memory on the mobile device.

Wireless database environment for a small device

A system management framework is described for use with a limited-resource client such as a hand-held device. The framework includes a client proxy implemented apart from the client device. The client proxy is configured to communicate with the client device and to emulate a full-functioned client computer on behalf of the client device.

Configuration and management systems for mobile and embedded devices

A data structure in a computer-readable form is provided that includes a string construct and a data construct. The string construct is formed by translations of a string of values. The tag construct is concatenated to the string construct and includes at least one tag value. The tag construct represents at least two translations that were performed on the string of values to produce the string construct.

Computer-readable data structure for efficient routing and translation of data

The present invention is directed, in one embodiment, to a programming interface which enables device/protocol/network independent transmission of messages to, and programming of, mobile devices. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to data structures maintained on, and supported by, the mobile devices. The present invention also, in another embodiment, provides security for programming messages and an acknowledgement channel over which the mobile device can acknowledge receipt of, and successful implementation of, a programming message.
