Application provisioning over a wireless network

摘要

A system and method for managing application provisioning to one or more wireless devices are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises a server framework that is adapted to communicate with one or more wireless devices of various types via a wireless communications network. An administration tool is preferably provided that permits an administrator to specify whether an application is required, optional, or unauthorized for individual users or user groups and whether an application is compatible with a specific type of user device. When a user attempts to log into the server framework from his or her wireless device, the system automatically downloads all compatible required applications to the user's device and deletes all unauthorized downloaded applications from the user's device. It also gives the user the opportunity to download any optional applications that are compatible with the user's device.
