41 results about "App store" patented technology

An app store (or app marketplace) is a type of digital distribution platform for computer software called Applications, often in a mobile context. Apps provide a specific set of functions which, by definition, do not include the running of the computer itself. Complex software designed for use on a personal computer, for example, may have a related app designed for use on a mobile device. Today apps are normally designed to run on a specific operating system—such as the contemporary iOS, macOS, Windows or Android—but in the past mobile carriers had their own portals for apps and related media content.

Ecommerce messaging systems and methods for implementing in-app stores and order workflows

An ecommerce messaging system described herein comprises one or more ecommerce extension apps that interact with a messaging app. These embodiments leverage the extension core to manage session apps and smart services for using tap-to-message and tap-to-update processes to generate, update, and manage order workflows and in-app stores through branded messages communicated between customer and seller session apps to share message transcripts on devices of the same user groups via the messaging host, empower ecommerce with action-key-based communication, serialize-deserialize processes, and dynamic update propagation, manage return-refund workflows with temporary tables until one-time entity data model updates can be performed for session apps, and configure multi-store shopping systems on sellers' multiple devices using a store-as-a-service model to enable distributors to distribute production copies of assigned stores to authorized publishers to add custom promotions, which will be published together as production copies to their subscribed user groups for multi-store shopping and tracking.

Downloading method, communication system, device, readable medium and program product

The invention relates to the technical field of software engineering design, in particular to a downloading method, a communication system, equipment, a readable medium and a program product. According to the method, application description information and an application entity are published to a server of a region where a specified service place is located at the publishing stage of resources such as an application program, and the application description information is also published to servers of a plurality of regions synchronously at the same time. Therefore, when a user searches resources such as an application program through an application market and the like of the user equipment, the user equipment can search the application description information published on each regional server without barriers, and provides an application search result for the user based on the searched application description information. Moreover, the user equipment can further switch a use place to a service place correspondingly published by the searched application, and obtains related application entity resources for installation and use. In this way, the user experience of searching and downloading applications in the application market can be improved.

Selectively restricting interaction with APPS on a digital device

A computer-implemented method selectively restricts interaction with apps installed on a digital device, e.g. a smartphone. The method may include selecting a first set of one or more apps, e.g. distracting apps storing information identifying a key device with the launcher, and the launcher switching between a first operation mode and a second operation mode in response to detecting a connection between the digital device and the key device. In the first operation mode, e.g. a ‘restricted’ operation mode, the launcher prevents the apps in the first set of selected apps from running in the foreground and the launcher blocks notifications originating from an app in the first set of selected apps. In the second operation mode, the launcher does not prevent apps in the first set of selected apps from running in the foreground.
