摘要:
The current state of art for over-the-air (OTA) provisioning typically consists of a rigid set of operations that are suited to deliver a fixed content type. The runtime environment on the terminal is designed to handle a limited set of predefined content types and incapable of any content-adaptive or customized provisioning by the content provider or publisher. Systems and methods are provided for customized provisioning of an application program on a runtime environment of a terminal. The application includes application content having at least one specified content type. A method comprises: obtaining the application content by the runtime environment; and obtaining by the runtime environment a set of provisioning instructions related to the application content. The provisioning instructions are coupled to the application for specifying a provisioning API set for provisioning the application content. This method also executes the provisioning instructions for employing the API set to provision the application according to the specified content type.

A system and method for generating a screen element, based on a data object, of a component application is disclosed. The component application includes a data component having a data field definition and a screen component having a screen element definition. A mapping manager identifies a mapping present in the screen component. The mapping specifies dynamic relationships between the screen component and the data component by an identifier, and for selecting the data component mapped by the mapping according to the mapping identifier. The mapping manager maintains dynamic integrity and automatically synchronizes changes between the screen component and the corresponding data component. A data manager obtains a data object field value corresponding to the data field definition of the mapped data component; and a presentation manager generates a screen element from the screen element definition to include the data object field value.

A method of dynamically hosting an application program on a wireless device, a content of the application partitioned into a plurality of module envelopes, each of the module envelopes having a portion of the modules comprising the application, the method comprising the steps of initializing the loading of the application comprising referencing an application information structure, the structure comprising relational information of the module envelopes, selecting one of the module envelopes from the plurality of the module envelopes according to the relational information, configuring a state of the selected module envelope according to a predefined envelope state, the envelope state being selected from a set of envelope states comprising at least two states selected from the group comprising an offline state, an executable state, and a raw state for conversion to the executable state, and providing the selected module envelope, when configured in the executable state, to an application manager for changing the configuration of the application on the device according to the configured module envelope.
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.

The current state of art for over-the-air (OTA) provisioning typically consists of a rigid set of operations that are suited to deliver a fixed content type. The runtime environment on the terminal is designed to handle a limited set of predefined content types and incapable of any content-adaptive or customized provisioning by the content provider or publisher. Systems and methods are provided for adaptable provisioning of an application program on a runtime environment of a terminal. The application includes generic application content. One method comprises the steps of configuring a provisioning API set including a generic API, such that the generic API is addressable by at least two dissimilar content types of the generic application content; obtaining an enabler related to a selected content type of the generic application content, such that the enabler is configured for executing provisioning instruction requests for the generic application content according to the selected application content; and provisioning portions of the generic application content having the selected application content by using the enabler to access the generic API.
摘要:
Data can be stored in a wide variety of formats, and it is recognized that not all terminals have the resources for storing the appropriate Application Program for processing and/or viewing the data as defined in a particular format. Systems and methods are described for dynamically processing a generic content expressed in a structured definition language. The systems and methods use an associated content handler having a set of instructions suitable for processing the content, such as XML content. The method comprises receiving a content envelope including the content and a reference to the associated content handler. The associated content handler is requested using the reference, the reference including a reference location for the content handler. Once obtained, the content is processed using the set of instructions of the content handler. The instructions can be expressed in script and/or code.
摘要:
A system and method for providing a user interface system to develop an application having a first component with descriptors expressed in a structured definition language and a second component expressed as a series of instructions. The individual components interact for processing messages on a runtime environment of a device that are received from a data source over a network. The component applications comprise data components, presentation components, and message components, which are written in XML code. The component applications further comprise workflow components which are written in a subset of ECMAScript, and are augmented with the XML code. The user interface system comprises a first module, such as a viewer or and editor, for developing the definitions of the first component through interaction with a data model that provides a persistent state of the application. The user interface system comprises a second module for developing the instructions of the second component through interaction with the data model. and a backend connector for providing the message mapping information of the data source to the first module. The first module generates the definitions based on the mapping information. The first and second components developed by respective the first and second modules are included in the application with other components where applicable.
