METHOD OF OPERATING A COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND RELATED COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

Method of operating a communication device offering a plurality of features (10) by means of a plurality of virtual machines (8) which run on a virtualized representation of a plurality of hardware components (6). The method comprises: obtaining a mapping (12,13,14,15) between at least some features of said plurality of features and corresponding sets of virtual machines of said plurality of virtual machines and hardware components of said plurality of hardware components which are required to enable said features; and upon deciding to activate or deactivate at least one group of features of said plurality of features, switching on or off virtual machines of said plurality of virtual machines and hardware components of said plurality of hardware components depending on said mapping.
