Abstract
A computing system includes an enterprise server providing an application, a mobile computing device having sensor capabilities registered with the enterprise server, and a client computing device operated by a user to access the application. The user is to request a capability of the application. The enterprise server is configured to compare the requested capability of the application to the registered sensor capabilities of the mobile computing device. If the requested capability of the application can be performed by the mobile computing device, then the enterprise server is configured to provide a notification to the mobile computing device requesting permission for the mobile computing device to provide access to the sensor capability corresponding to the requested capability of the application. The mobile computing device performs the requested capability of the application after permission is granted.
