DYNAMIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Instead of initially deploying a full set of static data resources to a client device, when notification of an error experienced by the client device is made, a determination is made as to whether that error is frequently concurring. In such a case, the resource associated that error is scheduled to be part of a next resource file build, whereupon the generated resource file is wirelessly communicated to the client device for installation.
1 . A system, comprising:
a client side component capable of experiencing an error during operation;
a server side component operatively connected to a store of static data resources, wherein, upon indication of the error to the server side component, the server side component is arranged to:
build a resource file including a resource selected from the store and associated with the error, and
wirelessly transmit the resource file to the client side component.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the error experienced during operation is one for which the client side component cannot locally locate an associated resource.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of static data resources is one of a text string, a bitmap, an image, a code, a character string, metadata, and a user interface feature.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the store is configurable.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource file is dependent on a type of the client side component, a group associated with the client side component, and a carrier of a service provided to the client side component.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource file is wirelessly broadcast to the client side component in a form an executable library file.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the client side component is any one of a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, and a portable e-mail device.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the store is manageable without interference in operations of the client side component.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource file is wirelessly broadcast to the client side component in a form an HTTP message.
10 . A method of performing resource management, comprising:
centrally storing at a server static data resources;
receiving an indication of an error experienced by a client device;
identifying a static data resource in response to the error indication;
causing a next build of a resource file to include the identified static data resource; and
wirelessly transmitting the resource file to the client device.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one of static data resources is one of a text string, a bitmap, an image, a code, a character string, metadata, and a user interface feature.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the client device is any one of a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, and a portable e-mail device.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the resource file is wirelessly broadcast to the client device in a form an executable library file.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the resource file is dependent on a type of the client device, a group associated with the client device, and a carrier of a service provided to the client device.
15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein building the resource file at the server occurs without interruption to operations of the client device.
16 . A mobile computing device, comprising:
a first module arranged to detect an error experienced by the mobile computing device;
a second module arranged to determine that a static data resource does not locally exist for the error;
a third module arranged to facilitate indication of the error to a server component;
a fourth module arranged to wirelessly receive a resource file build by the server component and including a static data resource for the error; and
a fifth module arranged to install the resource file.
17 . The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the static data resource is one of a text string, a bitmap, an image, a code, a character string, metadata, and a user interface feature.
18 . The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the mobile computing device is any one of a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, and a portable e-mail device.
19 . The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the resource file is wirelessly received by the client device in a form an executable library file.
20 . The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the resource file is dependent on a type of the client device, a group associated with the client device, and a carrier of a service provided to the client device.
21 . The mobile computing device of claim 16 , wherein the resource file is dynamically sent by the server.
