  • Location Bound Secure Domains
    Publication number: 20130291091
    Abstract: A telecommunications apparatus has secure operation based on geographic location. A positioning mechanism determines a geographic location for the telecommunications apparatus. A processor identifies a secure domain and determines an availability of an application programming interface for the based on the geographic location, wherein at certain geographic locations access to the application programming interface is restricted, and at other geographic locations access to the application programming interface is unrestricted.

  • Method and apparatus for enabling an external function from a WAP environment
    Publication number: 20030126271
    Abstract: A wireless communication device (10) operates using a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) operating environment for enabling various data services. The wireless communication device (10) includes an application manager (22) coupled to the WAP operating environment that is operable to receive from the WAP operating environment a request to launch an external application. The application manager (22) operates launch the external application and to generate a handle. The handle is configured to control the external application within the WAP operating environment and is returned to the WAP operating environment responsive to the request to launch the external application. A library is associated with the external application, and the library includes information to configure the external application to operate within the WAP operating environment.
