Claims

1. A method, comprising:

determining a condition of a resource for a user device, the device having a software component thereon; and

sending a notification indicative of the condition of the resource to the software component.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sending a notification indicative of the condition of the resource to a server.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the server is an advertisement server.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending a notification includes sending the notification to the software component if the condition of the resource is determined to be critical.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification includes the operating level of the resource.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the operating level indicates whether the resource condition is critical or normal.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the operating level further indicates a percentage availability of the resource.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the software component is an advertisement application.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving a notification from an engine, the notification being indicative of a condition of a resource for a user device; and

implementing corrective action based on the condition of the resource.

10. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor

memory including computer program code the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;

determine a condition of a resource for a user device, the device having a software component thereon; and

send a notification indicative of the condition of the resource to the software component.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the memory unit further includes:

computer code for sending a notification indicative of the condition of the resource to a server on a network.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the server is an advertisement server.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer code for sending a notification includes computer code for sending the notification to the software component if the condition of the resource is determined to be critical.

18. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor

memory including computer program code

the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;

receive a notification from an engine, the notification being indicative of a condition of a resource for a user device; and

implement corrective action based on the condition of the resource.

19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the memory unit further includes:

computer code for sending a message to the engine indicating the corrective action implemented.

20. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the notification indicates that the condition of the resource is critical.

21. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the notification includes the operating level of the resource.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the operating level indicates whether the resource condition is critical or normal.
