1. A software application framework embodied as computer software contained in a memory that is executable on computer hardware located within a mobile equipment adapted to provide a high-level application-domain environment in the mobile equipment, comprising:
- a framework interface domain further comprising an open platform application programming interface (OPA), for interfacing a platform domain with application domain software of an application domain;
a software application domain comprising at least one application entity wherein the software application domain further comprises at least one utility entity and at least one plug-in entity;
wherein the at least one utility entity is adapted to use at least one of;
the framework interface domain;
at least one application entity;
the at least one plug-in entity; and
the at least one utility entity,wherein the at least one application entity, the at least one plug-in entity and the at least one utility entity comprises encapsulated code; and
wherein the at least one plug-in entity is adapted to use the framework interface domain and wherein the application entity is adapted to own at least one thread that is automatically created upon start-up of the application entity;
wherein the at least one application entity is adapted to interact with at least one of;
the framework interface domain;
the at least one utility entity; and
the at least one plug-in entity; and
wherein the software application framework includes a rulebook for the application domain and is embodied as computer software contained in a memory that is executable on computer hardware located within a mobile equipment.

Abstract
A software application framework includes a framework interface domain for interfacing a platform domain with application domain software of an application domain. The framework also includes a software application domain that includes a first application entity. The first application entity is adapted to interact with at least one of a second application entity, the framework interface domain, at least one utility entity, and at least one plug-in entity.

7. A method of using a software application framework embodied as computer software contained in a memory that is executable on computer hardware located within a mobile equipment adapted to provide a high-level application-domain environment in a mobile equipment, the method comprising:
-
interfacing a platform domain with application domain software of an application domain via a framework interface domain further comprising an open platform application programming interface (OPA) wherein the application domain comprises at least one utility entity and at least one plug-in entity,; using, by the at least one utility entity, at least one of; the framework interface domain; the at least one application entity, the at least one plug-in entity; and the at least one utility entity, wherein the at least one application entity, at least one plug-in entity, and at least one utility entity comprises encapsulated code; using, by the at least one plug-in entity, the framework interface domain and the at least one application entity of the application domain wherein the at least one application entity owns at least one thread that is automatically created upon start-up of the application entity, interacting, by the at least one application entity, with at least one of; the framework interface domain; the at least one utility entity; and the at least one plug-in entity; and wherein the software application framework includes a rulebook for the application domain and is embodied as computer software contained in a memory that is executable on computer hardware located within a mobile equipment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
