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.

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 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:
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 method of presenting data entities of standard device applications in wireless devices is provided. Component-based applications are hosted on a wireless device providing an application runtime environment for hosting at least one component-based application. Component definitions are hosted for developing the component-based application. A standard data component implements a standard data component definition; the standard data component definition is embedded into the component-based application definition during development. The standard data component providing access to a standard device data entity by invoking device dependent APIs the standard data component presenting the standard device data entity as a user defined data component. The application runtime environment automatically making functionality available of the user defined data components available to standard data component.
摘要:
A push proxy server for pushing data to a wireless device having a coverage state of online or offline. The push proxy server comprises a coverage state detector, memory, a data store, and a transceiver. The coverage state detector determines the coverage state of the wireless device. The memory stores a coverage state indicator for indicating the coverage state of the wireless device. The data store stores the data to be pushed to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is offline. The transceiver transmits the data to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is online. A method for implementing the push proxy server is also described.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating delivery and processing of asynchronous push content communicated to a mobile station of a radio communication system. Replace outdated and background processing attributes are defined and operated upon the communicated content. Use of the replace outdated attribute avoids display of other than most-recent content, and use of the background processing attribute permits operations to be performed upon the push content, even when an application with which the push content is associated, is not active.
摘要:
A data synchronization system for caching and updating non-component-enabled application data is provided. The data synchronization system comprises a data handle table generation module for generating a table of internal data handles associated with external data repository items, an external data repository interface module for retrieving data from and storing data in an external data repository and an internal repository for storing data items. A method of data synchronization is also provided. The method comprises the steps of generating a table of internal data handles associated with external data repository items, retrieving data from an external data repository, storing data in an internal repository and updating data in the external data repository.
摘要:
A system and method for developing a standard data component for coupling with a plurality of components of a component-based application to access a stored data entity of a non-component-based native application, the applications for executing in a runtime environment of a device. The system and method comprises an application module configured for storing a model of the component-based application including features of data and message component definitions expressed in a structured definition language. Also included is a native module configured for storing properties of the data entity of the native application and a standard module for generating the standard data component definition based on the features of the component-based application and the properties of the data entity of the native application. The standard data component definition is expressed in the structured definition language.
