Patent number: 12047422Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for application-specific compliance enforcement. An example method can include receiving, at a user device, profiles containing application-specific restrictions. When a first application is opened, a management agent compares the corresponding application-specific restrictions with current device settings. This can be done with a checksum comparison where the checksums are created based on a hash with an application- or profile-specific identifier. If they differ, the management agent stores the current device settings and prompts for, or automatically changes, the device settings to new compliant values before allowing the first application to operate in the foreground of the user device screen. If the first application is closed or minimized, the stored device settings can be restored. The management agent can compare those against application-specific restrictions of the second application before allowing the second application to run in the foreground.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: VMware LLCInventors: Gaurav Verma, Manjunath Subramani, Suchit Shivashankar, Karthikeyan Palanisamy

Patent number: 11483199Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for facilitating enrollment of a client device into more than one management framework. A client device can be enrolled with a management service as a fully managed device. The client device can also be enrolled with the management service as a personal or bring-your-own-device (BYOD), which causes a workspace to be created on the device that is segregated from the rest of the client device. Both enrollments can be managed by a remotely executed management service.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Gaurav Verma, Suchit Shivashankar, Karthikeyan Palanisamy

Patent number: 10819842Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing on-demand access to a restricted resource of a user device. An example method can include generating a profile that specifies a restricted resource and one or more conditions for that resource to be de-restricted. The profile can be sent to, and utilized by, an agent application executing on the user device. The agent application can determine that a user is requesting de-restriction of a resource and determine whether all applicable conditions are met. If the conditions are met, the agent application can de-restrict the resource. After the resource is used, the agent application can report details of the use to an administrator or management server.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Gaurav Verma, Manjunath Subramani, Suchit Shivashankar, Karthikeyan Palanisamy

Patent number: 10673951Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for migrating a group of user devices associated with an enterprise from a first device-management service to a second device-management service. An example method can include receiving a request to migrate the group of user devices from the first device-management service to the second device-management service. The second device-management service can associate the enterprise support service with the second, rather than the first, device-management service. It can also cause the enterprise support service to install an agent application the user devices in the group. Finally, the second device-management service can remove one or more applications, associated with the first device-management service, from the user devices in the group.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Don Joy, Gaurav Verma, Suchit Shivashankar

Patent number: 10454761Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for client device migration to utilize management platform features. In one example, the client device is enrolled with a management service. Enterprise status data is requested and received from a client device. The status data indicates that the client device is compatible with a management platform. An indication that migration is accepted is received from the client device. A previous management profile is uninstalled on the client device. A device record that is compatible with the management platform is created. A management profile that is compatible with the management platform is installed on the client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Gaurav Verma, Suchit Shivashankar
