Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for controlling access to a media server are provided. A browse request is received at a computing device, from a remote computing device to browse a memory structure including content files. Authentication of the remote computing device is initiated. Prior to the remote computing device being authenticated, a response is transmitted to the remote computing device indicative that the memory structure is empty of the content files, regardless of actual content of the memory structure. After the remote computing device is authenticated, a further response is transmitted to the remote computing device indicative of the actual content of the memory structure.

Abstract: Personalization of a mobile device, including receiving at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of personalization policies stored on the mobile device a personalization policy that corresponds to the unique code; and storing the selected personalization policy in a persistent protected storage element of the mobile device. Customizing a mobile device, including determining at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of customized data sets stored on the mobile device a data set that corresponds to the unique code; and activating the selected data set on the mobile device.

Abstract: A device (102) that can perform voice recognition operates with a removable media or memory (104) that is used to store information records (126). To save memory space in the removable media, voice recognition tags (118), used to perform voice recognition, are not stored in the removable media, but are stored in the device. Since the media is removable, the device must check to make sure the records stored in the media are usable with the voice recognition tags. This is accomplished by generating a key (306) whenever a new voice recognition tag is trained (304). The key is stored in the device, or in the media, or both. Upon initialization of the device, (202), the device searches (206) the media for records and checks (210) to see if the key corresponding to the record matches any keys in the device. When a match is found the record is associated (214) with the corresponding voice recognition tag. Voice recognition tags with no corresponding records are deleted or ignored.
