Patent number: 10310581Abstract: An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While executing the first OS but not the second OS and based on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and the mobile device consuming less power if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed. While executing the second OS, and in response to a determination of a likelihood of the mobile device being subject to an external security attack in a geographic region in which the mobile device is located and a determination that the mobile device is more secure against the external security attack while executing the first OS than while executing the second OS, execution of the second OS is terminated and the first OS is executed.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Blaine H. Dolph, Miku K. Jha, Sandeep R. Patil, Gandhi Sivakumar, Riyazahamad M. Shiraguppi

Patent number: 10261565Abstract: An approach is provided for operating a mobile device having first and second operating systems (OSs) installed. While the mobile device is executing the first OS but not the second OS, (1) based in part on battery power remaining in the mobile device being less than a threshold and a lower power consumption of the mobile device if executing the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device; and/or (2) based in part on (a) the mobile device being currently located in the first geographic region which has a greater likelihood of attack on the mobile device, and (b) the mobile device being more secure while operating the second OS but not the first OS, execution of the first OS is terminated and the second OS is executed in the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Blaine H.

Patent number: 9641493Abstract: An approach is provided for protecting data owned by an operating system on a mobile computing device having multiple operating systems. A map specifying protected data regions for the operating systems is generated. The map is secured with a shared key retrieved from a data structure. Based on the shared key, a tuple specifying the data region is retrieved from the data structure. Based on the map, the shared key, and the tuple, and responsive to a data cleanup activity being performed by a software utility being executed on another, currently running operating system included in the multiple operating systems, a data region included in the protected data regions is determined to be owned by the operating system. Based on the data region being owned by the operating system and specified by the map, the data cleanup activity is blocked from being performed on the data region.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Blaine H.

Patent number: 9628433Abstract: A method for transmitting short message service (SMS) messages and notifications within a virtualized wireless device is provided. In one embodiment, a hypervisor detects an incoming SMS message directed to a virtualized wireless device that comprises at least two virtual operating systems. The hypervisor further transmits the incoming SMS message to a first virtual operating system of the virtualized wireless device. In addition, the hypervisor notifies a second virtual operating system of the virtualized wireless device of the incoming SMS message.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Blaine H.

Patent number: 9372996Abstract: An approach is provided for protecting data owned by an operating system on a mobile computing device having multiple operating systems. A map specifying protected data regions for the operating systems on the mobile computing device is generated. At least a portion of the map is secured with a shared key. Based on the map and the shared key, and in response to a data cleanup activity being performed by a software utility being executed on another, currently running operating system included in the multiple operating systems, a data region included in the protected data regions is determined to be owned by the operating system. Based on the data region being owned by the operating system and the data region being specified by the map, the data cleanup activity is blocked from being performed on the data region owned by the operating system.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Blaine H.
