Abstract

A mobile computing device has an operating system that configures the mobile computing device by defining at least one user session, wherein the at least one user session includes a plurality of contexts, each context of the plurality of contexts having separate bindings of input and output resources, and separately managed applications. For example, a different context can be associated with each display device. The operating system is further configured to receive information about applications executed in the separate contexts, to receive information about environmental conditions of the computer, and, to selectively limit operation of applications in each context according to the environmental conditions and the applications executed in both contexts.
