Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current integrated application platforms struggle to effectively manage and launch both native and non-native applications on computing devices, lacking a seamless integration of user interactions with local device functions and configurations.
Innovation Solution
The development of an integrated application platform that includes a rendering engine process and an integration layer, enabling cross-platform applications to execute non-natively by creating a computing environment, interpreting rendering language instructions, and launching native applications through user interactions, while also retrieving and injecting information from the computing environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a runtime environment is provided for non-native applications to execute on a computing device, then cross-platform application compatibility is improved, but system complexity increases due to the need for virtual machines and rendering engines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a runtime environment as an intermediary layer between non-native applications and the native operating system. This runtime environment includes a virtual machine and rendering engine that mediate the execution of cross-platform applications, allowing them to run on native devices without direct integration into the OS kernel, thus managing complexity while improving compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The runtime environment is designed to be universal, supporting multiple programming languages and application types through a single integrated platform. The virtual machine can execute code from different languages, and the rendering engine can display various interface types, making the system adaptable to diverse cross-platform applications without requiring separate infrastructure for each
2Stability of the object's composition
If native applications are integrated into the runtime environment, then user interface consistency is improved, but integration complexity increases due to the need for integration layers and processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges native applications with the runtime environment through an integration layer that combines their functionality. The integration process allows native applications to be launched and controlled from within the runtime environment, creating a unified user interface that presents both native and non-native applications consistently, while the integration layer manages the technical complexity of combining these different application types
3Ease of operation
If user interactions are enabled between the runtime environment and local device functions, then ease of operation is improved, but system integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integration layer acts as an intermediary that enables user interactions between the runtime environment and local device functions. It provides a standardized interface that allows applications running in the runtime environment to access device functions without requiring direct integration with the operating system, simplifying the user experience while managing system integration complexity through the mediating layer
