Platform-Agnostic Cloud Application Architecture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile and web applications require separate coding for each platform, operating system, or hardware, leading to significant time and cost investments for developers, as well as storage and usability challenges for end-users.
Innovation Solution
The development of platform-agnostic logical applications that can be coded once and run on multiple platforms, hardware, or operating systems, allowing for granular selection of application functionality and connection with other applications through a cloud-based network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If applications are developed for each specific platform, then platform-specific optimization and native performance are improved, but development time and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal cloud application architecture where a single application codebase can run across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, web, desktop) through cloud-based execution. The application is deployed as a cloud service that communicates with client devices via standardized protocols, eliminating the need to write separate native code for each platform while maintaining cross-platform compatibility and performance optimization capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If applications are downloaded to mobile devices, then offline access and fast loading are improved, but device storage is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between the application code and the user's device. Instead of storing the entire application locally, the device maintains a lightweight client that communicates with the cloud server. The application logic and data are executed and stored in the cloud, with only essential interface elements and cached data stored locally, dramatically reducing device storage requirements while maintaining fast access through local caching of frequently used elements.
3Reliability
If multiple user accounts are required for different applications, then application security and access control are improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified authentication system where user credentials and identity management are consolidated at the cloud application level rather than requiring separate accounts for each application instance. The cloud-based architecture enables single sign-on functionality across multiple applications and devices, maintaining security through centralized authentication while improving user convenience by eliminating the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords.
Data Source
AI summary
Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for providing one or more cloud-based, platform agnostic cloud applications and displaying the one or more cloud-based application in the display of a client device. The cloud applications may be displayed on a client device after, receiving, at a server side, a first request to access a cloud application, wherein the cloud application comprises a feature providing the functionality of the cloud application. Responsive to the request, fetching, from a storage, a first data source comprising one or more fields associated with the feature of the cloud applications. Responsive to the fetching, transmitting the first data source to a client side, wherein the client side is configured for storing a second data source comprising one or more fields providing a user interface of the cloud application. Responsive to the transmitting, displaying a user interface of the one or more cloud applications.
