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. A system and method is provided for adaptable provisioning of an application program on a runtime environment of a terminal. The application includes generic application content. The 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. The method also obtains 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. The method also provisions portions of the generic application content having the selected application content by using the enabler to access the generic API.

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 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： 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.

摘要翻译： 希望减少开发无线应用程序所涉及的复杂性，减少对任何显式编码的需求，以及减少应用程序在设置时使用的设备资源。 具有智能无线设备运行时环境（Device Runtime），如果应用程序组件及其交互作用可以简化开发工作并减少资源分配，则提供一组基本服务以将系统管理为一系列。 无线应用程序被描述为一组组件。 使用原子数据组件定义此类应用程序的数据域。 使用原子消息组件定义设备与服务器之间的通信。 消息和数据组件都使用结构化定义语言（如XML）在元数据中进行描述。 消息和数据组件之间的关系以消息/数据映射的形式嵌入到XML定义中。 通常，传出消息是从某些底层数据组件派生的，而传入消息会影响应用程序的当前状态（或数据表示）。 因此，显而易见的是，元数据定义的映射关系在数据表达和消息分量之间是优选的。

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.

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.

摘要： A message wizard enables assisted visual development of operations to process an incoming message for an application on a communication device. The wizard provides a series of pages from which a developer can select a desired action to perform on a target upon receipt of the incoming message and select a specific target comprising at least one data component from a set of candidate data components. The wizard then automatically generates code to implement the selected action on the target. A message page to visualize the message, target and the relationship between then and, as applicable, any script generated to implement the action may also be provided. The wizard may provide a data component type page to select a type of data component and then provide the series of pages in response to the type of data component selected.
