what's the meaning of "BRI/2" token on user agent string

Question

i'm analyzing the user-agent string

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; BRI/2)

using online services such http://user-agent-string.info/

None of this service recognize the token BRI/2

In this forum http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?280135-identifying-user-agent-string-tokens

an user says that this is BRI Mobile, an add-on that has something to do with online banking

I've searched for BRI Mobile and i've found that is an APP for iOs, Android, Windows PHONE... but now the question is: if i have, say, a windows phone with this app installed, and i use the Browser (not the BRI mobile app) to navigate on Internet, can my user-agent be altered by the BRI-Mobile APP?

Also, apart from the BRI/2 token, the user-agent doesn't seem to have anything to do with a mobile device....

ty very much
