  • Publication number: 20170004171
    Abstract: A method for defining and constraining the behavior of a shared, mobile content management system is disclosed. The method includes providing an admin console for defining, modifying, and managing declarative policies. Declarative policies are defined based on an XML policy model. The XML policy model dictates the policies that can be expressed by the admin console. The defined declarative policies are enacted without requiring the content management system to be restarted, reconfigured, or re-implemented. An XML-based policy wizard definition language is provided to define policy wizards in the admin console that guide an administrator through the steps of creating and editing the policies. Additionally, at least one policy repository based on LDAP is provided. The at least one policy repository has an interface and is adapted to store a plurality of declarative policies. The policy repository has scalable and distributed capabilities.

  • Patent number: 8516095
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide a mechanism to enhance the communication capabilities of wireless users. Various embodiments include apparatus and methods to manage operational features of a mobile wireless device using a parameter for the mobile wireless device set in another mobile wireless device. This mechanism allows for remote administration of the mobile wireless device. In various embodiments, such a parameter can be correlated to directed action to be conducted by a wireless server, where the wireless server identifies the directed action, corresponding to the parameter, during transferal of the parameter from the mobile wireless device in which the parameter is set to the mobile wireless device that is managed using the parameter or a derived parameter. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120023548
    Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates implementation of a parental control feature at a mobile station. A parental authority selects a parental control feature to be implemented at the mobile station and by way of a user interface at a computer workstation or a master mobile station. Detection is made of the selection, and a control signal is generated that includes identification of the selection. The control signal is sent to the affected mobile station. Once received at the mobile station, the control signal is detected, its contents ascertained, and the parental control feature is implemented at the mobile station.
