Abstract: Provided is a method of creating a mashup application in a host device in communication with a peer device by sharing remote services. The method includes discovering a second device that uses a middleware remote service sharing mechanism within a network, wherein a mashup framework of a first device performs the discovering; analyzing functionalities of the first device and the second device, and determining one of the first device and the second device as a host device and the other of the first device and the second device as the peer device; transmitting a list of available mashup combinations to the host device, wherein the peer device performs the transmitting; and selecting a mashup combination that is to be formed from the list, wherein the host device performs the selecting.

Abstract: The present invention provides an open application program interface (API) service. A method of providing the API service includes generating meta-data for executing an API, generating resource data for generating a mash-up of the API, generating description data corresponding to the API, the meta-data, and the resource data, and generating an API package comprising the API, the meta-data, the resource data, and the description data. Accordingly, mash-up contents can be easily generated from various types of APIs.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for managing an access privilege of an application in a Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) environment. The method includes: marking a privileged code in the application; executing the privileged code in a secured thread having a unique thread identifier; identifying the privilege code by mapping the unique thread identifier with an application identifier from a mapping table; checking a permission policy file to determine what kind of resource access privilege the identified privileged code has; and permitting the application to access the resources according to the determination results. Accordingly, when an application tries to access resources in a framework, an access privilege of the application can be managed so that no applications can maliciously access the resources by identifying the application by using the mapping table and checking the security policy file of the identified application.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for managing resource access privileges of an application in a Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) environment. The method includes executing the application in a thread having a unique thread identifier, identifying the application by mapping the unique thread identifier with an application identifier from a mapping table, examining a security policy to determine the kind of resource access privileges the identified application has, and allowing or not allowing, according to the examination result, the application to access the resources. Accordingly, when an application tries to access resources in a device, access privileges of the application can be managed so that the application does not maliciously access the resources.
