MANAGING INSTALLATION AND UPDATES OF AN APPLICATION ON A COMPUTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932344 titled 'MANAGING INSTALLATION AND UPDATES OF AN APPLICATION ON A COMPUTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for managing the installation of applications within an organization, involving the transfer of application versions from an application store platform to a data storage device and then installation on a computing device managed by the organization.
- Receiving a pin request from an administrator to attach an application with a version.
- Transferring the version of the application from the application store platform to a data storage device.
- Generating an application identifier to locate the version of the application in the data storage device.
- Transmitting installation data to a computing device managed by the organization, including the application identifier for installation.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where organizations need to manage the installation of applications across multiple devices efficiently.
Problems Solved
This method streamlines the process of installing applications within an organization, ensuring that the correct versions are transferred and installed on the designated devices.
Benefits
- Simplified application management process - Efficient transfer and installation of application versions - Centralized control and organization of application installations
Potential Commercial Applications
"Efficient Application Installation Management for Organizations"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems or methods for managing application installations within organizations, but the specific process outlined in this patent application may offer unique features or improvements.
Unanswered Questions
=== How does this method ensure the security of transferred application versions? The abstract does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the transferred application versions from unauthorized access or tampering.
=== Can this method be integrated with existing application management systems? It is unclear from the abstract whether this method can seamlessly integrate with current application management systems used by organizations.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure relates to a method for managing installation of applications, where the method includes receiving, from a first computing device associated with an administrator of an organization, a pin request to attach an application, provided by an application store platform, with a version of the application, initiating, in response to the pin request, transfer of a copy of the version of the application from the application store platform to a data storage device, generating an application identifier that identifies a location of the version of the application stored in the data storage device, and transmitting installation data to a second computing device that is managed by the organization. The installation data includes the application identifier, which is used by the second computing device to install the version of the application from the data storage device.
