发明名称 Sharing work environment information sources with personal environment applications
摘要 One or more embodiments of the invention enable an application running in a personal environment of a mobile device to access an information source registered with a guest operating system (OS) of a work environment. The personal environment is a host OS of the mobile device and the work environment is running in a virtual machine supported by a hypervisor running within the personal environment. A hypervisor-aware service in the virtual machine provides registration information for the information source to the hypervisor. The hypervisor updates the registration information to include a reference to the hypervisor and transmits the updated registration information to the host OS which registers the information source. Upon a request by the application for information from the information source, the hypervisor-aware service receives a request from the hypervisor to access the information source and provides access to the information source for the application through the hypervisor.

主权项 1. A method for enabling an application running in a personal environment of a mobile device to access an information source registered with a guest operating system (OS) of a work environment of the mobile device, wherein the work environment is running in a virtual machine supported by a hypervisor running within the personal environment and wherein the personal environment is a host OS of the mobile device, the method comprising: providing, by a hypervisor-aware service running in the virtual machine, registration information for the information source to the hypervisor, wherein the registration information is obtained from the hypervisor-aware service by querying the guest OS; updating, by the hypervisor, the registration information to include a reference to the hypervisor; transmitting the updated registration information by the hypervisor to the host OS, wherein the host OS uses the updated registration information to register the information source for access by the application running in the personal environment; upon a request by the application for information from the information source, receiving, by the hypervisor-aware service, a request from the hypervisor to access the information source, wherein the request from the hypervisor is transmitted as a result of the host OS using the reference to the hypervisor upon accessing the updated registration information on behalf of the application in order to communicate with the hypervisor; and providing, by the hypervisor-aware service, access to information from the information source for the application through the hypervisor.
