Independent Application Packaging for Offline Platform Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cloud computing platforms face inefficiencies in application development and deployment, requiring repeated integration operations for each host or hosting platform, necessitating a continuous internet connection, and causing time losses and resource inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
The Independent Application Design and Deployment (IADD) system allows for independent application creation and deployment, using a framework package that includes metadata files and control method descriptions, enabling applications to be developed and tested offline, and deployed efficiently without rigid host dependencies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If applications are developed with rigid association to platform host, then integration control is simplified, but deployment time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application deployment process into independent phases: application development (independent of host), application packaging (using standardized templates), and host deployment (separate operation). This segmentation allows applications to be developed and tested independently before deployment to specific hosts, significantly reducing deployment time and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by creating application packages with all necessary configuration, metadata, and code before deployment to the host. The application is fully developed, tested, and packaged in advance using standardized templates, so that when deployment occurs, it is a simple matter of transferring the pre-prepared package to the host system.
2Reliability
If continuous internet connection is required during application creation, then platform host communication is maintained, but development efficiency and reliability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating a self-contained application package that includes all necessary files, configurations, and metadata in a single deployable unit. This copied package can be developed and tested completely offline, then transferred to the host system where it functions independently, eliminating the need for continuous internet connectivity during development.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs all application development, testing, and packaging actions preliminarily before deployment to the host. The application package is prepared in complete isolation from the host system, allowing developers to work offline without needing continuous platform communication, thereby significantly improving development efficiency.
3Speed
If application package includes all necessary files and configurations, then deployment speed increases, but package size and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a standardized application package template that can accommodate different applications while maintaining a consistent, optimized structure. The template includes universal placeholders for metadata, configuration files, and code, allowing efficient packaging without requiring each application to be individually formatted, thus reducing overall package size while maintaining fast deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by including only the necessary files and configurations specific to each application within the package, rather than unnecessarily including all possible files. The package structure is optimized to include only what is required for the application to function on the host, reducing package size while maintaining deployment speed.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for creating, sharing, and integrating a vendor application are provided. A method for application development and deployment comprises communicating, by a host platform, a framework package corresponding to an application framework, wherein the framework package comprises a software abstraction for providing generic functionality in developing a vendor application, receiving, by the host platform, an application package corresponding to a vendor application, wherein the application package comprises a plurality of metadata files, control method descriptions, and content files, and integrating the application package to generate an integration of the vendor application based on the application framework.
