Run-time limitations of software applications based on user characteristics

摘要

An application manager module provides anonymized user profile information to third party adaptive software applications. As a result, a software developer may produce a single software application that is adapted to run in a first mode providing full-functionality for use by adults and a second mode providing appropriate privacy and content restrictions for use by children. The mode is selected at run-time based on the anonymized user profile information received from the application manager module.
