  • Patent number: 9544398
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing applications on an appliance are provided. A server is in communication with appliances. The server is also coupled to databases which include appliance information, as well as application data. A user may authenticate using the appliance. A set of permissions may be associated with the user. The server then supervises information exchanged between the appliance and the server, as well as application functionality upon the appliance, by supplementing the applications downloaded to the appliance with supplemental code, referred to hereafter as an AppGuard. The AppGuard is tailored, using information related to the appliance, to the appliance type in order to ensure proper functionality. The AppGuard is executed upon installation, and collects device information for validation. After validation, the application may be run. Additionally, management of the applications may include augmenting, deleting, disabling or authorizing the application.
