First Claim
13. A mobile device configured to support a virtual business mobile device comprising a processor configured to perform the steps of:
- binding a mobile application for provisioning the virtual business mobile device to a privileged component of a host operating system of the mobile device, wherein the binding enables a hypervisor component and a management service component of the mobile application to execute in a privileged mode;
downloading, though the mobile application, a virtual phone image for the virtual business mobile device and security-related policy settings relating to use of the virtual business mobile device from a mobile management server managed by an employer of a user of the mobile device, wherein the hypervisor component is able to launch a virtual machine for the virtual business mobile device based on the virtual phone image; and
initiating a periodic attempt to establish a connection between the management service component of the mobile application and the mobile management server to comply with the security-related policy settings.

Abstract
A virtual business mobile device can be provisioned on a personal mobile device, by binding a mobile application for provisioning the business mobile device to a privileged component of a host operating system of the personal mobile device, wherein the binding enables a hypervisor component and a management service component of the mobile application to execute in a privileged mode. The mobile application is then able to download a virtual phone image for the business mobile device and security-related policy settings relating to use of the business mobile device from a mobile management server, wherein the hypervisor component is able to launch a virtual machine for the business mobile device based on the virtual phone image. Once the virtual phone image has been downloaded, the management service component initiates a periodic attempt to establish a connection with the mobile management server to comply with the downloaded security-related policy settings.
