摘要:
A method and system of optimizing content delivery at a processing element in a dynamic content delivery architecture, the method having the steps of: receiving a content and metadata envelope at the processing element; checking the content and metadata envelope to determine whether the content and metadata envelope includes metadata for the processing element; if the content envelope contains metadata for the processing element, extracting and caching the metadata; if the content envelope does not contain metadata for the processing element, retrieving metadata for a content provider associated with the content from a cache on the processing element; and applying the extracted or retrieved metadata to the content and metadata envelope.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for fragmenting non-linear data for delivery in a dynamic content delivery architecture, the method comprising the steps of: analyzing metadata for the non-linear to determine how to fragment the non-linear data; partitioning the non-linear data in accordance with the metadata analysis creating partitioned segments; and defining navigation rules for the partition segments; the apparatus being a fragmentation module for use in a dynamic content delivery system, the fragmentation module comprising: a processor adapted to perform a metadata based analysis on content to be fragmented, the processor further adapted to partition the content into segments based on the metadata; and a segment navigation module, the segment navigation module adapted to define segment navigation rules for the segments.

An application persistence system for improving wireless application resource efficiency is provided. The application persistence system comprises a persistence-point definition module for defining conditions that trigger persisting application data, a persistence-point analysis module for identifying efficient and reliable persistence points and a persistence points enforcement module for enforcing persistence points at application runtime. A method of improving wireless application resource efficiency is also provided. The method comprises the steps of defining conditions that trigger persisting application data, identifying efficient and reliable persistence points, defining a persistence mode flag in an application's profile, and enforcing persistence points at application runtime.
摘要:
A method of managing a wireless application executing on terminal device of a wireless network. In accordance with the present invention, execution of the wireless application is monitored to detect symptoms of malicious operation. If one or more symptoms of malicious operation are detected, further operation of the wireless application is inhibited.
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:
A system and method for generating a screen component configured to visualize a data structure in a displayed screen on a graphical user interface of a device. The screen component for including in an application for execution on the device and having definitions expressed in a structured definition language for defining the visualization of the data structure. The visualized data structure related to data content associated with messages communicated over a network between the device and a data source. The system and method comprises: a parser module for analyzing a set of predefined message and data definitions expressed in a structured definition language to identify corresponding data structure and message details related to the messages, the predefined message and data definitions for including in the application; a screen template for providing a representative example of the screen to be displayed on the graphical user interface; and a screen component generation module for applying the predefined message and data details to the screen template to generate the screen component; wherein the predefined message and data definitions and the screen component are subsequently assembled in to the application.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for handling communications over a non-permanent communication link. The method comprising centrally receiving a message to transmit from a plurality of applications, checking the availability of the non-permanent communication link, if the non-permanent communication link is not-available, queuing the received message for future transmission, and providing the message to a transport/network layer if the communication link is available.
摘要:
A method for encoding a message communicated between devices, the message having at least one field, the method comprising: if the field is not optional and contains a value, writing the value to one or more data bytes in a byte buffer; and, if the field is optional and contains a default value, marking a bit in a reserved byte in the byte buffer to indicate that the field contains a default value.
摘要:
A system and method for generating an application based on a first component having definitions expressed in a structured definition language and a second component having a series of instructions. 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 components define the processing on a device runtime environment of messages communicated over a network between the device and a datasource. The system and method have a data model for providing a persistent state of the application including the component definitions and the series of instructions. The system and method also have a code module for obtaining the components from the data model and for generating a first application element including code representing the component definitions. The system and method also have a mappings module for obtaining datasource mapping information from the data model and for generating a second application element including mapping file descriptors corresponding to the datasource mapping information, the mapping information for use in communication of the messages between the device runtime environment and the datasource. The system and method also have a resource module for collecting application resources and for generating a third application element including the resources, wherein the application elements are subsequently packaged as a deployable form of the application.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for provisioning component applications for retrieval by a device. The system includes an application gateway server, which includes a message broker for communicating between the system and the device. The application gateway server is configured for communication with a provisioning server and a discovery server. The provisioning server includes a provisioning service for servicing a provisioning request and a provisioning depot for storing packaged component applications. The discovery server stores and manages component application bundles. The system further includes a packaging application in communication with application gateway for retrieving a component application bundle, selecting elements from the component application bundle in accordance with the device for which the component application is being provisioned, creating a component application package using the selected elements, and making the packaged component application available to the device.
