MOBILE APPLICATION VOLATILITY MANAGEMENT FOR SITUATIONAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method for managing situational mobile applications of high volatility in a mobile computing device includes first defining a policy specifying under which context a mobile application is to remain installed in a mobile computing device. Thereafter, the policy is loaded into memory of the device and a geolocation is determined for the device. In this regard, the geolocation may include a location of the device, or a present time and date for a location of the device. The policy then is applied to the determined context and, in response to a determination from the application of the policy that the mobile application is to be uninstalled based upon a location of the device being outside of a designated geographic area in which the mobile application had been installed in the device, the mobile application is automatically uninstalled from the device.

1. A method for managing situational mobile applications of high volatility in a mobile computing device, the method comprising:
defining a policy specifying under which context a mobile application is to remain installed in a mobile computing device; loading the policy into memory of the mobile computing device; determining a context for the mobile computing device; applying the loaded policy to the determined context; and, responsive to a determination from the applying of the policy that the mobile application is to be uninstalled, automatically directing an uninstallation operation in the mobile computing device to uninstall the mobile application from the mobile computing device.
