Abstract: A method of, and a processing system for, creating distinct user spaces. In a platform originally intended to be a single user platform, for each of a plurality of users, a first application used by the user can be assigned a user identifier (UID) unique to the user and the first application. The first UID can be associated with user data exclusively associated with the user and the first application to create a multi-user platform.

Abstract: A method and system for data accounting across multiple communication networks are described herein. An enterprise data session request is received from a device configured to operate on a home communication network in which the device is associated with an enterprise. A usage amount can be determined for the session request, and it can be determined that the device is associated with the enterprise. In addition, the usage amount for the session request can be attributed to the enterprise. Another enterprise data session request can be received from a second device configured to operate on a second home communication network in which the second device is also associated with the enterprise. A usage amount can be determined for the session request from the second device, and it can be determined that the second device is associated with the enterprise.

Abstract: A method and system for automatic provisioning of applications are described herein. The method can include the step of offering a plurality of applications for download to electronic devices in which each of at least some of the applications may be formatted for one of a plurality of operating environments. The method can also include the steps of receiving a request for at least one application in which the request can be associated with a first electronic device and selecting an application for delivery to the first electronic device. The selected application can be an application that may be formatted for the operating environment of the first electronic device and may be among the offered applications that are formatted for differing operating environments.

Abstract: A method of enabling the federation of unrelated applications is described herein. The method can include the step of installing a candidate application for inclusion in a secure workspace. A first previously-installed application may have a certificate signed by a first entity, and a second previously-installed application may have a certificate signed by a second entity such that the first and second previously-installed applications have different certificates. The method can also include the steps of generating a federation value for the candidate application for inclusion in the secure workspace and determining the result of a federation check of the candidate application based on the generated federation value. If the federation check for the candidate application is satisfied, the candidate application may be permitted to be part of the secure workspace.

Abstract: A method and system of enabling communications among unrelated applications is described herein. The method includes the step of identifying a paste memory element in an environment of a computing device that restricts communications among unrelated applications. The method also includes the step of imposing a file system on the identified paste memory element. The file system is compatible with the unrelated applications such that a first unrelated application is capable of storing data in the paste memory element using the imposed file system and a second unrelated application is capable of accessing the stored data using the imposed file system. As an example, the first and second unrelated applications may be secure applications. In addition, the method can also include the steps of encrypting the data stored in the paste memory element that is associated with the first unrelated application and decrypting this data on behalf of the second unrelated application.

Abstract: A method and system of restricting the operation of applications to authorized domains is described herein. The method can include the steps of receiving reference domain restriction data associated with an application and receiving generated domain restriction data associated with the application. A domain restriction check can be performed by comparing the generated domain restriction data with the reference domain restriction data, In addition, a domain restriction approval signal can be generated if the domain restriction check is satisfied. The domain restriction check can ensure that the application will not operate in unauthorized domains.

Abstract: A communication system includes a communication device (i.e., a cellular or smart phone) communicatively coupled to an auxiliary communication device (i.e. a headset). Systems and methods are provided for switching between calls in instances in which there are at least three calls being simultaneously supported. In one embodiment, a prediction can be made as to which one of the pending calls should be resumed when an active call is terminated or put on hold. The prediction can be made based on any suitable criterion, including, for example, the frequency of calls received from or made to a caller, the amount or percentage of accepted calls from a caller, the duration of calls received from or made to a caller, and/or a ranking input by a user. Such predictive analysis can minimize the need for a user to cumbersomely navigate through a call list to reach a desired call.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling access to one or more electronic devices is disclosed. The method can include the step of—out of a plurality of electronic devices—identifying a master device and a slave device. The master device can be configured to control access to at least one feature of the slave device, and the master device can be associated with a person who has supervisory authority over another person who uses the slave device. During an active session on the slave device, a pre-disablement warning can be sent to the slave device in which the pre-disablement warning can identify a first time period by which access to the feature of the slave device is to be prevented. A disablement message can be sent to the slave device, thereby preventing access to the feature of the slave device following the expiration of the first time period.

Abstract: A method and system for selectively providing access to one or more slave computing devices is described. The method includes providing one or more slave computing devices and one or more master computing devices, the master computing device being communicatively coupled to the slave computing device. The method also includes displaying a user interface on the slave computing device that accepts input from a user and receiving a disablement signal at the slave computing device from the master computing device. The method also includes the step of—responsive to receipt of the disablement signal—disabling the user interface of the slave computing device such that the user is not permitted to provide the input. As part of the disablement of the slave computing device, a non-interactive message that does not respond to user attempts to provide input to the slave computing device can be displayed on the slave computing device.

Abstract: A method and a processing system for creating distinct user spaces. In a platform originally intended to be a single user platform, for each of a plurality of users, at least one mountable element can be uniquely assigned to the user and data associated with the user can be stored to the assigned mountable element to create a multi-user platform.

Abstract: A method of, and a processing system for, creating distinct user spaces. In a platform originally intended to be a single user platform, for each of a plurality of users, a first application used by the user can be assigned a user identifier (UID) unique to the user and the first application. The first UID can be associated with user data exclusively associated with the user and the first application to create a multi-user platform.

Abstract: A method and computing device for creating distinct user spaces are described. Concerning the method, in a platform originally designed as a single user platform, user data associated with a plurality of users can be stored and segmented. In addition, links to point to user data that is associated with a current user can be generated in which the link creation can exploit a predefined path associated with storing data in the single user platform. The method can also include the step of preventing the current user from accessing user data associated with non-active users.
