Abstract: This disclosure relates to management of privileges associated with applications accessible by users of electronic devices. In one aspect, an electronic device detects that a privilege has been revoked, shuts down any application running on the electronic device that has previously accessed the privilege, and restarts any application that was shut down, the restarted application no longer having any access to the revoked privilege. In another aspect, an electronic device keeps a log of which applications have previously accessed which privileges, receives a new set of privileges associated with applications, determines that a privilege has been revoked, and if the log indicates that an application previously accessed the privilege, resets the electronic device. In a further aspect, a method sets privileges associated with applications, records which electronic devices have which applications, revokes a privilege, and instructs those electronic devices having applications to which the privilege is associated to reset themselves.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic device having a first touch sensor array and a fingerprint sensor includes receiving a first touch at the fingerprint sensor, in a fingerprint sensing mode: receiving first touch data associated with the first touch to a fingerprint controller, and authenticating a user based on the first touch data, and in a touch sensing mode: transmitting the first touch data associated with the first touch to a second controller, wherein the fingerprint sensor and the first touch sensor array form a combined touchpad in the touch sensing mode, and determining a touch location on the combined touchpad based on the first touch data.

Abstract: A mobile wireless communications device may communicate with a terminal including a first NFC device, the terminal being capable of receiving data from a provisioning server. The mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the housing, a second NFC device carried by the housing, a memory carried by the housing, a display carried by the housing, and a processor carried by the housing and coupled to the wireless transceiver, the second NFC device, the memory, and the display. The processor may be configured to implement a digital wallet including user cards, receive from the terminal, via the second NFC device, a blank user card including user data fields, and fill the user data fields of the blank user card to define a completed user card and send the completed user card to the provisioning server.

Abstract: A method of applying a privacy filter to information on the display of the electronic device includes applying the privacy filter to information for display on the display such that the information is obscured on the display, repeatedly receiving data from a sensor of the electronic device, repeatedly performing an authentication to determine if the data is associated with biometric data of an authorized user, displaying a portion of the information such that the portion of the information is unobscured in response to determining that the data is associated with the biometric data of the authorized user, and applying the privacy filter to the portion of the information such that the portion of the information is obscured in response to determining that the data from the sensor is no longer associated with the biometric data of the authorized user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to generate predictive text on an electronic device. In some aspects, one computer-implemented method includes receiving, at an input method editor (IME) operating on an electronic device, a text prediction indicator for an editable field outputted by an application; determining, based on the text prediction indicator, whether a text input from the editable field is allowed to be stored; in response to determining that the text input from the editable field is allowed to be stored, storing the text input; determining a predictive text; and outputting the predictive text on the electronic device.

Abstract: A wireless device (WD) is associated with a preprogrammed user roaming setting and an automated adjustment algorithm stored in operative communication with the device. The algorithm is initiated and run when the device enters a roaming area, thereby automatically activating the roaming setting. A user response query is operatively connected to the automated adjustment algorithm, and operates as a switch for the automated adjustment algorithm, which initiates changing the user settings in accordance with the roaming setting. A user available query is connected to the user response query, to determine if the wireless device is in use, and to generate a notification if the device is idle or a prompt if the device is in use. An output from the switch of the user response query selectively enables the automated adjustment algorithm responsive to at least one of a responsive and a nonresponsive input to the user response query.

Abstract: A mobile communication device causes a communication session to be established with a host server of a communication network. The mobile device performs communication operations in the communication session for activating a communication service, such as a data synchronization service, with the host server. In the communication session, the mobile device also receives configuration information which includes information for use in constructing a request message for obtaining a digital certificate from a certificate authority (CA). After receipt of the configuration information, the mobile device constructs the request message for the digital certificate and causes it to be sent to the host server. In response, the host server requests and obtains the digital certificate from the CA on behalf of the mobile device, and thereafter “pushes” the received digital certificate to the mobile device. The mobile device receives the digital certificate and stores it for use in subsequent communications.
