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 20240095007 titled 'MANAGING INSTALLATION AND UPDATES OF AN APPLICATION ON A COMPUTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application 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 installing the applications on computing devices managed by the organization.
- Receiving a pin request from an administrator to attach an application with a version.
- Transferring a copy of the application version from the application store platform to a data storage device.
- Generating an application identifier to locate the stored application version.
- 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 enterprise settings where administrators need to efficiently manage the installation of applications across multiple devices within an organization.
Problems Solved
This method streamlines the process of installing applications by centralizing the storage and distribution of application versions, reducing the manual effort required by administrators.
Benefits
- Simplified application installation process - Centralized management of application versions - Improved efficiency in deploying applications across organization devices
Potential Commercial Applications
"Efficient Application Deployment in Enterprise Settings"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of application deployment tools in enterprise environments to automate the installation of software on multiple devices simultaneously.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method handle updates and patches for applications?
The abstract does not mention how the method deals with updating applications or applying patches to installed versions.
What security measures are in place to protect the application versions during transfer and installation?
The abstract does not provide details on the security protocols or measures implemented to safeguard the application versions during the transfer and installation process.
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.
