Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Implementing inter-process communications in Android virtual mobile infrastructure is complex due to challenges in message and state synchronization across different operating systems and network domains, increasing development difficulty and costs.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize forwarding applications to manage and transmit data between applications using preset inter-process communication modes, allowing for seamless communication across different applications and systems without requiring developers to handle complex synchronization and network penetration issues directly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single application handles all inter-process communication situations across different operating systems and network domains, then communication coverage is improved, but development complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the inter-process communication system into multiple independent forwarding applications, each responsible for specific communication scenarios (e.g., same-device IPC, cross-device IPC, different operating systems). This segmentation allows each application to handle only its designated communication type, reducing the complexity any single application must manage while maintaining comprehensive communication coverage across all scenarios.
2Reliability
If developers directly implement complex synchronization and network penetration handling, then communication reliability is improved, but ease of development deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces forwarding applications as intermediary components that handle complex synchronization and network penetration tasks. These forwarding applications act as mediators between applications running on different operating systems or network domains, encapsulating the complexity of message and state synchronization within the forwarding application layer. This allows developers to focus on their core application logic while the forwarding applications reliably manage the complex communication protocols and synchronization mechanisms.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a method and system for implementing inter-process communications. The method includes sending, by a first application, a first message to a forwarding application according to a first preset inter-process communication mode. The first message includes transmission data and identification information of a second application; obtaining, by the forwarding application, the second application in response to the first message; and sending, by the forwarding application, the transmission data to the second application according to a second preset inter-process communication mode of the second application.
