Delivery Management Server for Accurate Application Update Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for delivering updated applications fail to accurately determine the appropriate destination for applications, leading to incorrect delivery due to reliance on information within the application rather than external destination specifications.
Innovation Solution
A delivery management server system that connects with a license management server to receive and manage application identification, key information, and destination information, ensuring that updated applications are delivered to the correct destination by associating these details with device identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If destination information is stored within the application, then the application can be made available only at a specific delivery destination, but the technique cannot deliver the application to the appropriate delivery destination because destination information is not generally included in the application
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the application and the delivery destination. The server stores destination information externally and provides it to the application during execution or installation. This mediator resolves the contradiction by separating the storage of destination information from the application itself, allowing the application to access accurate destination information without having it embedded within its code.
2Device complexity
If destination information is extracted from application contents, then the delivery process is simplified, but the delivery destination becomes incorrect because the information does not accurately represent the intended destination
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing accurate destination information on the server before the application is delivered or executed. This allows the system to retrieve the correct destination information in advance, avoiding the need to extract it from application contents during the delivery process. The destination information is prepared and made available beforehand, ensuring both process simplicity and accurate destination identification.

AI summary
An updated application is delivered to an appropriate delivery destination. A delivery management server receives, from an information processing device, application identification information for identifying the application and key information on the application. The received application identification information and key information are transmitted to a license management server and destination information indicative of the destination of the application is received from the license management server. The updated application is delivered to the specific delivery destination by managing the destination information in association with the application identification information and information for identifying the information processing device.
