Patent number: 11032283Abstract: Some aspects of what is described here relate to managing the use of network resources on a mobile device. User input received at the device indicates whether to allow an application associated with a first perimeter on the device to access a network resource associated with a second perimeter on the device. For example, in some instances user input may indicate whether to allow data from applications associated with a personal perimeter on the device to be transmitted over an enterprise communication system. When outbound data associated with the first perimeter are received, the device determines, according to the indication from the user input, whether to route the outbound data to the network resource associated with the second perimeter.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Christopher Ryerson, Christopher Lyle Bender, Michael Thomas Winkler, David Bukurak, Benjamin Altman
