Claims13
A resource platform, comprising:
- a resource map storing a representation of an environment of a plurality of mobile devices, each of the representations being based on information received from the respective mobile devices, the information including (i) one or more attributes of one or more external resources available to the respective mobile devices and (ii) state information concerning the environment of the respective mobile devices obtained from one or more sensors associated with the respective mobile devices;
- a resource profile unit containing pattern matching rules for matching access policies of the respective mobile devices with the representation of the environment for the respective mobile devices stored in the resource map;
- and
- a recognition unit for causing, based on the matching, allowance and disallowance of access to one or more applications available within the mobile device and registered in a registry of the mobile device.
