Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, a selection for initial message parameters for a push notification. The push notification is sent to a mobile device using the initial message parameters. The mobile device receives the push notification with the initial message parameters. An access event is determined. Access events include unlocking the mobile device and sensing a change by a camera of the mobile device as the mobile device is moved out from a stored location. The push notification initial message parameters are substituted with new message parameters based on the access event and real-time detection of one or more micro-locations in a particular indoor venue, the real-time detection of one or more micro-locations being based on at least one of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons, Wi-Fi triangulation and Internet of Things (IoT) information, and the push notification has a standardized format including dynamic message parameters.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products that enable efficient roaming of virtual mobile devices. In one embodiment, multiple PoP locations having a set of common master images are maintained. A communication from a mobile device received at a central facility identifies a user, a location and a type of the mobile device. The central facility determines performance measures for the PoP locations and identifies a preferred PoP location in response to the communication. If the preferred PoP location has available capacity, the central facility directs the preferred PoP location to provision resources and instantiate a virtual device from a selected master image corresponding to the mobile device. If the preferred PoP location persistently stores a user data volume for the user, the virtual device is attached to the stored user data volume. Otherwise, data is transferred from the user's data volume to a cache attached to the virtual device.
