Abstract

Technologies are generally described for systems and methods configured to provide developer credentials to a device. In some examples, a developer device may be configured to send a registration request relating to a program to a service server. In response, the developer device may receive first information. A processor in a user device may be configured to store the program and the first information. The processor may execute at least part of the program to send a first request, including the first information, to a platform server. The processor may be further configured to receive second information in response. The processor may execute the program using the first and second information to generate a second request. The second request may include the second information and may be sent to a service server different from the platform server.

Claims

1. A device configured to receive developer credentials for a program, the device comprising:

a memory;

a processor configured to be in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is further configured to;

store the program in the memory;

store a first identification for the program;

execute at least part of the program, where the program is configured to generate a first request for the developer credentials for the program, where the first request includes the first identification, and where the developer credentials are credentials to use a service from a service server;

send the first request to a platform server configured to be in communication with the processor;

receive the developer credentials from the platform server;

execute the program using the first identification and the developer credentials to generate a second request, wherein the second request includes the developer credentials; and

send the second request to the service server different from the platform server.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program with use of services from the service server.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the program has attributes and, with the developer credentials, the processor is further configured to execute less than all of the attributes of the program with use of services from the service server.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein, with the developer credentials, the processor is further configured to execute the program with use of less than all of the services from the service server.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the developer credentials are unique to the device.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the developer credentials are unique to the program.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the memory includes an operating system;

the program is configured to generate the first request for the developer credentials; and

the operating system is configured to send the first request to the platform server.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer; and

the processor is configured to receive the developer credentials in the operating system layer.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer; and

the processor is configured to;

store the developer credentials in the operating system layer; and

delete the developer credentials upon termination of the program.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer; and

the processor is configured to receive the developer credentials in the operating system layer; and

upon generation of the second request, pass the developer credentials to the program.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein the first identification includes an application identifier for the program and a service identification for the service server.

12. A method for operating a device to receive developer credentials for a program, the method comprising, by a processor:

storing the program in a memory;

storing a first identification for the program in the memory;

executing at least part of the program, where the program is configured to generate a first request for the developer credentials for the program, where the first request includes the first identification, and where the developer credentials are credentials to use a service from a service server;

sending the first request to a platform server configured in communication with the processor;

receiving the developer credentials from the platform server;

executing the program using the first identification and the developer credentials to generate a second request, wherein the second request includes the developer credentials; and

sending the second request to the service server different from the platform server.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer and the method further comprises receiving the developer credentials in the operating system layer.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer and the method further comprises:

storing the developer credentials in the operating system layer; and

deleting the developer credentials upon termination of the program.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer, and the method further comprises:

receiving the developer credentials in the operating system layer; and

upon generation of the second request, passing the developer credentials to the program.

13. (canceled)

17. (canceled)

18. A system configured to provide developer credentials to a device, the system comprising:

a device, wherein the device includes a processor and a memory; and

a platform server configured to be in communication with the device;

wherein the processor is configured to;

store the program in the memory;

store a first identification for the program in the memory;

execute at least part of the program, where the program is configured to generate a first request for the developer credentials for the program, where the first request includes the first identification, and where the developer credentials are credentials to use a service from a service server; and

send the first request to the platform server;

the platform server is configured to receive the first request and send the developer credentials in response;

the processor is further configured to;

receive the developer credentials from the platform server;

execute the program using the first identification and the developer credentials to generate a second request, wherein the second request includes the developer credentials; and

send the second request to the service server different from the platform server.

22. The system of claim 18, wherein:

the device and the platform server are both operated by the same platform;

the memory includes an application layer and an operating system layer; and

the processor is configured to receive the developer credentials in the operating system layer.

25. A system configured to provide developer credentials to a device, the system comprising:

a developer device, the developer device configured to;

send a registration request to a service server, where the registration request relates to a program;

receive a program identification for the program from the service server; and

receive a service identification of the service server from the service server;

a user device, wherein the user device includes a processor and a memory;

a platform server configured to be in communication with the user device;

wherein the processor is configured to;

store the program, the program identification, and the service identification in the memory;

execute at least part of the program, where the program is configured to generate a first request for the developer credentials for the program, where the first request includes the program identification and the service identification, and where the developer credentials are credentials to use a service from the service server; and

send the first request to the platform server;

the platform server is further configured to receive the first request and send the developer credentials in response;

the processor is further configured to;

receive the developer credentials from the platform server;
