Claims19
A method for managing, from a communication device, a secure element, the communication device having a memory for storing one or more device applications, the method comprising:
- determining that an application stored on the secure element does not have an association with any of the device applications;
- and
- in response to said determining, sending a communication to a server to delete the application from the secure element.
A communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory for storing one or more device applications;
- a secure element;
- and
- a communication subsystem for sending and receiving communications with a server,
- the processor configured for:
- determining that an application stored on the secure element does not have an association with any of the device applications, and in response to said determining, sending a communication to the server to delete the application from the secure element.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor for managing a secure element, the medium storing one or more device applications, the instructions comprising instructions for:
- determining that an application stored on the secure element does not have an association with any of the device applications;
- and
- in response to said determining, sending a communication to a server to delete the application from the secure element.
