Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Content of an application is presented for display. A virtual controller module receives information relating to keyboard characters for controlling operation of the application. The virtual controller module presents, based on the received information, a first set of buttons for display, where the buttons are to control operation of the application, and where the buttons are mapped to corresponding ones of the keyboard characters.

Abstract: Handling of touch events in a browser environment is disclosed. An example method includes, while a document is displayed on a touchscreen display of a device, detecting a touch event at the touchscreen display, and selectively processing the detected touch event using one of a default hander, a touch event handler, and a conversion to one or more mouse events, according to a touch event handling property defined for the document.

Abstract: Properties defining modes for handling user events such as cursor events and touch events on a computing device such as a touchscreen device are provided. One property determines, for an entire webpage or for elements thereof, whether received cursor events should be processed in accordance with default handling routines configured in the browser environment, or passed for handling by an event handler defined for the element. Another property determines, for the entire webpage or elements thereof, whether received touch events should be processed in accordance with default handling routines, passed for handling by an event handler, or converted to cursor events or mouse events for handling by an event handler.

Abstract: A method and portable electronic device for hands-free operation in a motor vehicle are described. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising: detecting when a portable electronic device is within a threshold distance of a motor vehicle; and inhibiting the portable electronic device from transmitting communications when the portable electronic device is within the threshold distance of a motor vehicle.
