Patent number: 10019598Abstract: When an application is launched, a framework scanning module scans a plurality of frameworks linked against by the application to generate a list of available services. When the application makes a request of a particular service, a service verification module compares the requested service to the list of available services and if the requested service is found in the list of available services, sends a signal to the application, the signal allowing access to the requested service for the application. Otherwise, access to the requested service is denied.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kevin J. Van Vechten, Damien Pascal Sorresso, Richard L. Hagy, Ivan Krstic

Patent number: 9411637Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that changes the importance of a daemon process is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a message from a user process destined for daemon process, wherein the daemon process executes independently of the user process and the first daemon process communicates messages with other executing processes. The device further determines if the first message indicates that the importance of the first daemon process can be changed. If the first message indicates the importance of the first daemon process can be changed, the device changes the importance of the first daemon process. The device additionally forwards the first message to the first daemon process.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ananthakrishna Ramesh, Yosen Lin, Damien Pascal Sorresso, James Michael Magee, Kevin James Van Vechten, Umesh Suresh Vaishampayan

Patent number: 9317324Abstract: A method is described for assisting execution of an application that is implemented with individual blocks of program code that are executable with separate processes. The method includes receiving an indication that a first of the blocks desires availability of a service provided by a second of the blocks. The method further includes, in response to the receipt of the indication, instantiating an instance of code to handle the delivery of inter process requests from the first block to the second block. The method further includes, in response to the instance of code receiving a first request from the first block for the service, instantiating the second block for execution with a different process than the first block's process. The method further includes detecting that the second block has no pending requests and has not, over a period of time, received any new requests, and, terminating the second block in response.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kevin Van Vechten, Damien Pascal Sorresso
