Web-hosted framework for mobile applications

摘要

Embodiments are directed towards providing a web-based framework for access and use of mobile device applications within an application stack. The mobile device includes a mobile web framework application (MWFA) that, when the mobile device boots up, seeks to connect online to a remote web-based interface manager. The remote interface manager provides a display of an application user interface to the mobile device, from which a user may access various applications that may be configured to execute at a remote device rather than on the mobile device. The user may also add to or otherwise modify the applications within the application stack.

1. A network device, comprising:
a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and a processor configured to execute computer instructions stored on a non-transitory storage medium, the computer instructions comprising:
receiving a request from a mobile device that is configured to employ web-hosted applications;enabling the mobile device to select at least one web-hosted application from a plurality of applications as part of a web-hosted application stack;providing access for use by the mobile device of the selected web-hosted application, the web-hosted application configured to operate remotely on the network device rather than on the mobile device;downloading at least a portion of the selected web-hosted application local to the mobile device, such that when the mobile device is determined to be offline from the network device, the local portion of the selected web-hosted application provides at least one function of the selected web-hosted application on the mobile device until the mobile device is determined to be online with the network device, the selected web-hosted application then resuming functionality on the network device, and, when the mobile device is determined to be offline from the network device, functions other than the at least one function are illustrated as being inaccessible on the local portion of the web hosted application; andwhen the mobile device is online to the network device, the downloaded selected web-hosted application functionality local to the mobile device is rendered inactive, such that full functionality of the selected web-hosted application is provided to the mobile device using the selected web-hosted application on the network device.
