摘要： A versioning schema enforced by the application development environment enables the runtime environment of a terminal device to evaluate a software update to identify potential compatibility issues and control installation of the update. The versioning schema includes a respective field for each one of a plurality of aspects of the application and defines an initial value of each field when an initial application load is released. For each successive software update affecting the application, the method involves identifying each aspect of the application affected by the software update and incrementing a value of the respective field of each identified aspect. The version number can be in the form D.M.F where D, M and F are incremented in response to changes in the application relating to data components, message components and features.

摘要： It is desirable to drive down the complexity involved in developing the wireless application by reducing the need to do any explicit coding, as well as reducing device resources utilized by the application when provisioned. Having an intelligent wireless device runtime environment (Device Runtime) that provides a set of basic services to manage the wireless application as a series if application components, and their interactions, can simplify the development effort and reduce resource allocation. The wireless application is described as a set of components. The data domain for this category of applications is defined using atomic data components. The communication between the device and a server is defined using atomic message components. Both message and data components are described in metadata using a structured definition language such as XML. The relationships between the message and data components are embedded in the XML definitions in the form of message/data mappings. Typically, outgoing messages are derived from some underlying data component and incoming messages affect the current state (or data representation) of the application. It is therefore apparent that the metadata defined mapping relationship is preferable between the expression of data and message components.

摘要： A wireless application GUI is described as a set of atomic screen components. The application screens are defined through a structured language such as XML, HTML or XHTML and are expressed as a collection of nested layouts and UI controls. Representation of these visual components is facilitated through the use of an intelligent Device Runtime framework that provides a set of services for screen presentation, management and user interaction. The designation of the screen components provides for an interactive and dynamic UI, and provides for delegation of some of the user interface management to the intelligent Device Runtime framework. The screen components utilize conditional controls in the wireless application definition. Conditional controls are dynamic screen elements that determine their appearance or behavior by virtue of satisfying a particular condition. Conditional controls include so-called driving (primary) and dependent (secondary) controls that modify application runtime screen behavior.

The screen manager managing screen components of the application and renders an output for display on a screen of the computing device. The communication service sends messages to external resources and receives and manages messages sent from external resources in accordance with corresponding message components. The script interpreter dynamically interprets script embedded in at least one of the data components, screen components, and message components and relays the interpreted output to the corresponding component manager for implementation. A method for implementing an application on the device in accordance with the above and a computer readable memory for storing instruction to implement the method are also provided.

摘要： Disadvantages with the current application interaction approach include: changes in configuration or version of a single software component often require the reinstall of a large number of dependent or related applications and previously installed software components are unable to communicate with software provisioned and installed at a later date. There is provided systems and methods for providing dynamic interaction between a pair of application programs by a platform neutral interface of a terminal, the pair of applications including a requestor application desiring access to a target application. One such method includes registering access information of the target application, such that the access information includes published access information made available in a data structure for retrieval by the platform neutral interface. This method further includes receiving an access request by the platform neutral interface from the requestor application, such that the access request includes request content corresponding to the published access information of the target application. The method proceeds further by obtaining an interface component by using the request content to search the data structure, such that the interface component is configured for enabling communication between the platform neutral interface and the target application in an access format expected by the target application. The method also includes employing the interface component by the platform neutral interface to satisfy the access request of the requestor application for interaction with the target application.
