Abstract: A method for managing software on a device is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a third party associated with the device, by a software administrator of an organization different from the third party, release information regarding software versions for the device; creating, by the software administrator, a profile that specifies whether or not at least one of the software versions is allowed on the device; and transmitting the profile, by the software administrator to a server computer associated with the third or other parties, to promote enforcement of the profile for the device.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于在设备上管理软件的方法。 该方法包括：从与第三方不同的组织的软件管理员从与该设备相关联的第三方接收关于该设备的软件版本的信息; 由软件管理员创建一个配置文件，该配置文件指定设备上是否允许至少一个软件版本; 以及由所述软件管理员将所述简档发送到与所述第三方或其他方相关联的服务器计算机，以促进对所述设备的简档的实施。

Abstract: A system and method for selectable privacy modes are disclosed. A plurality of privacy mode definitions are stored with each privacy mode definition including a respective control state definition for each function in a plurality of functions of an electronic device. The plurality of functions includes at least two of communications functions, sensor functions, application functions, or combinations of these. An input indicating a selected privacy mode definition from within the plurality of privacy mode definitions is received. A respective control state of each function in the plurality of functions is set based on each respective control state definition in the selected privacy mode definition.

Abstract: Updating firmware on mobile devices can be performed during device management (DM) sessions between mobile devices and one or more servers. A server can provide data to at least one node of a firmware update management object (FUMO) stored at a mobile device. The data can indicate a plurality of different update file locations accessible via a network. The mobile device can download a plurality of update files from the plurality of different update file locations via the network in response to receiving the command. From a set of update files, each mobile device can thus obtain its particular firmware update as a subset of the update files as indicated by its FUMO. Metadata may be provided to the FUMO to express one or more conditions that the mobile device must meet in order to download respective update files.

Abstract translation: 可以在移动设备与一个或多个服务器之间的设备管理（DM）会话期间执行在移动设备上更新固件。 服务器可以向移动设备上存储的固件更新管理对象（FUMO）的至少一个节点提供数据。 数据可以指示经由网络可访问的多个不同的更新文件位置。 响应于接收到该命令，移动设备可以经由网络从多个不同的更新文件位置下载多个更新文件。 从一组更新文件，每个移动设备可以因此获得其特定的固件更新作为更新文件的子集，如其FUMO所示。 可以向FUMO提供元数据以表达移动设备必须满足的一个或多个条件以便下载相应的更新文件。
