Abstract

An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While the mobile device is executing the first OS but not the second OS, (1) based in part on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and a lower power consumption of the mobile device if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device; and/or (2) based in part on (a) the mobile device being currently located in the first geographic region which has a greater likelihood of attack on the mobile device, and (b) the mobile device being more secure while operating the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device.
