Abstract

Claims (17)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

detecting, by a service managing usage of a mobile device based on a first context, an event to trigger a change in management of the mobile device from the first context to a second context, wherein the service manages the usage of the mobile device via an application executing on the mobile device, the first context and the second context each defining one or more usage policies to enforce via the application;

identifying, by the service, one or more notifications associated with the second context;

sending, by the service, the one or more notifications to the mobile device;

receiving, by the service and from the mobile device, a query of whether any updates associated with the second context is available; and

upon determining that an update associated with the second context is available, sending, by the service, the update to the mobile device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the service, one or more second notifications associated with the second context; and

sending, by the service, the one or more second notifications to the mobile device.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the second context is associated with the mobile device entering a predefined location.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the second context is further associated with an emergency situation occurring at the predefined location.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more second notifications comprise communications relating to the emergency situation.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more notifications associated with the second context comprise reminders associated with the predefined location and information regarding hazards or risks associated with the predefined location.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:

detecting, by the service, a second event to trigger a change in management of the mobile device from the second context to a third context, wherein the second event corresponds to the mobile device exiting the predefined location;

detecting, by the service, a third event to trigger a change in management of the mobile device from the third context to the second context, wherein the third event corresponds to the mobile device reentering the predefined location; and

determining that the one or more notifications have been previously sent to the mobile device.
