Abstract
Apparatus, methods, computer readable media and processors may provide a secure architecture within which a client application on a wireless device may, in some aspects, exchange information securely with resident device resources, and in other aspects, with a remote server over a wireless network.
Claims31
A method for securely exchanging information, comprising:
- authenticating an identity of a client application resident on a wireless device based upon a request by the client application to access a device resource on the wireless device, wherein the request is based on a remotely received information retrieval configuration;
- and
- providing the client application with access to a predetermined portion of the device resource based upon a result of the authentication.
A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- authenticating an identity of a client application resident on a wireless device based upon a request by the client application to access a device resource on the wireless device, wherein the request is based on a remotely received information retrieval configuration;
- and
- providing the client application with access to a predetermined portion of the device resource based upon a result of the authentication.
At least one processor configured to perform the actions of:
- authenticating an identity of a client application resident on a wireless device based upon a request by the client application to access a device resource on the wireless device, wherein the request is based on a remotely received information retrieval configuration;
- and
- providing the client application with access to a predetermined portion of the device resource based upon a result of the authentication.
A wireless device, comprising:
- means for authenticating an identity of a client application resident on a wireless device based upon a request by the client application to access a device resource on the wireless device, wherein the request is based on a remotely received information retrieval configuration;
- and
- means for providing the client application with access to a predetermined portion of the device resource based upon a result of the authentication.
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a device resource comprising at least one of device-related data and network-related data;
- and
- a resource interface module operable to receive an access request for access to the device resource, wherein the access request is based on a remotely received information retrieval configuration, wherein access request comprises a client application module identification and a security mechanism, the resource interface module operable to authenticate the client application module identification and a corresponding predetermined access level to the device resource based on the security mechanism.
A method for secure information exchange with a wireless device over a wireless network, comprising:
- establishing a communication protocol with the wireless device;
- generating a collection configuration operable to cause the wireless device to collect predetermined information from a device resource on the wireless device;
- transmitting the collection configuration and security mechanism to the wireless device over the wireless network;
- and
- receiving from the wireless device the predetermined information based on the collection configuration if the security mechanism authenticates the apparatus to the wireless device based on a predetermined security procedure.

A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a communication protocol with the wireless device;
- generating a collection configuration operable to cause the wireless device to collect predetermined information from a device resource on the wireless device;
- transmitting the collection configuration and security mechanism to the wireless device over the wireless network;
- and
- receiving from the wireless device the predetermined information based on the collection configuration if the security mechanism authenticates the apparatus to the wireless device based on a predetermined security procedure.
2 more elements
At least one processor configured to perform the actions of:
- establishing a communication protocol with the wireless device;
- generating a collection configuration operable to cause the wireless device to collect predetermined information from a device resource on the wireless device;
- transmitting the collection configuration and security mechanism to the wireless device over the wireless network;
- and
- receiving from the wireless device the predetermined information based on the collection configuration if the security mechanism authenticates the apparatus to the wireless device based on a predetermined security procedure.
2 more elements
A remote server, comprising:
- means for establishing a communication protocol with the wireless device;
- means for generating a collection configuration operable to cause the wireless device to collect predetermined information from a device resource on the wireless device;
- means for transmitting the collection configuration and security mechanism to the wireless device over the wireless network;
- and
- means for receiving from the wireless device the predetermined information based on the collection configuration if the security mechanism authenticates the apparatus to the wireless device based on a predetermined security procedure.
2 more elements
An apparatus for exchanging data with a wireless device, comprising:
- a configuration generator operable to generate a configuration for receipt by a wireless device, the configuration operable to cause the wireless device to collect predetermined information from a device resource on the wireless device;
- an information repository operable to store information collected from the wireless device based on the configuration;
- a communications module and a processor operable to establish a connection between the apparatus and the wireless device over a wireless network;
- and
- a security module operable to provide a predetermined security mechanism to the wireless device, the predetermined security mechanism based on a predetermined exchange protocol with the wireless device, wherein the predetermined security mechanism authenticates the apparatus to the wireless device.
