Abstract
A system and a method for directed provisioning and management of user applications on limited resource devices by a content provider, through an integrated platform which handles all aspects of aggregation and management of such applications. By “content aggregation”, it is meant the procedure by which applications are introduced by a content provider, and are then aggregated into a service for provision by that content provider and/or service provider. Preferably, the collected applications may then be examined by the user according to a content directory, which is a hierarchical organization of different applications according to one or more categories and/or attributes. The service provider preferably controls access to the content or user applications by the user, for example according to a subscription of the user and/or capabilities of the limited resource device of the user.
