Solution Overview

Problem

Current application development systems are inefficient due to the lack of collaboration between different development organizations, leading to difficulties in collaborative development and excessive storage resource usage.

Innovation Solution

Establishing an association relationship between applications in an application store, allowing one application to call and implement the functions of another, while being stored separately, thereby enabling collaborative development and optimizing storage resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If applications are developed independently by different organizations, then each organization can maintain its own development autonomy, but collaborative development becomes difficult and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevelopment efficiencyVSAvoidcollaboration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments applications into independent, modular units that can be separately developed, stored, and called. Each application is treated as an independent component with its own identifier, allowing different organizations to develop applications autonomously while enabling efficient collaboration through the application store's association mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If applications are stored separately in the application store, then storage resources are optimized, but the complexity of managing associations between applications increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage resource usageVSAvoidassociation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The application store serves as an intermediary system that manages the associations between applications. It maintains association relationships between application identifiers and handles the complexity of managing these connections, while applications themselves remain stored separately and can be called through the intermediary without direct inter-application links.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
