Embodiment Construction

[0026] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0027] The following detailed description describes methods, software, and apparatus for executing applications on computing devices, including methods, software, and apparatus for controlling execution of applications on computing devices using application state history information. In one or more embodiments, the computing device has an embedded controller and limited resources (i.e., limited memory capacity, display area, and file system space), and the computing device is operative to utilize application state history information Controls the execution of resident applications.

[0028] In one or more embodiments, a system for executing applications on a computing device integrates with a runtime environment executing on a computing dev...

Abstract

A system for saving application state history information, containing an historical snap-shot of dynamic application state information associated with execution of a first application on a computing device. The application state history information is saved for use in a subsequent re-launch of the first application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to re-launching of software applications, and more particularly to controlled re-launching of multiple software applications. Background technique [0002] Advances in technology have resulted in personal computing devices becoming smaller and more powerful. For example, there currently exist a variety of portable wireless telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and paging devices that are small, lightweight, and easily portable by users. Typically, these devices are heavily resource constrained. For example, screen size, available amount of memory and file system space, size of input and output capabilities, and processing power are each constrained by small devices. [0003] Certain devices and platforms allow only a single instance of the application. In these cases, only one version of the application can execute at any one time. This limits the number of instances that can run at any one time. T...
