Abstract

Disposable mini-applications (106) are executable software items whose activation, deactivation and deletion in a mobile terminal are defined by trigger parameters and rules (250). Trigger parameters (250) may include, bu t are not intended to be limited to, location, time (218), stored user data an d the like. Rules are one or more trigger parameters needed to effect one of t he foregoing actions. In one embodiment, a housekeeping means (206) monitors fo r data that corresponds to the parameters and satisfies the rules, and perform s a variety of housekeeping functions relating to the disposable mini- applications (106). The deletion of the disposable mini~application clears memory space associated with storing and executing the disposable mini- application, and thus, makes that space available for other purposes.</SDOAB >
