Abstract

Claims (43)

1. A method for generating a component for a device application, the method comprising:

generating a computer-readable specification for a device component, the device component comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a device to perform one or more features;

transmitting the computer-readable specification to a set of developers that are determined to be capable of developing the device component;

generating a point cost for each developer in the set of developers to develop the device component;

transmitting a task to one or more developers, selected from the set of developers by a user, to develop the device application;

receiving a completed device component from the one or more developers, the completed device component configured based on the computer-readable specification; and

allocating points corresponding to the point cost for each developer to each of the one or more developers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device component is configured to cause the device to perform the one or more features without dependency from another device component.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the point cost for each developer is received from the developer prior to generating the point cost.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving points, from the user prior to transmitting the task, equal to the point cost for each of the one or more developers selected from the set of developers.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically checking, by a computing system, that the completed device component performs the one or more features.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein allocating points is responsive to the checking.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the computer-readable specification is responsive to receiving the perform one or more features from the user; and

further comprising determining that stored device components are not capable of causing the device to perform the one or more features.

8. A computer system for generating a component for a device application, the computer system comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to execute a software to perform:

generate a computer-readable specification for a device component, the device component comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a device to perform one or more features;

transmit the computer-readable specification to a set of developers that are determined to be capable of developing the device component;

generate a point cost for each developer in the set of developers to develop the device component;

transmit a task to one or more developers, selected from the set of developers by a user, to develop the device application;

receive a completed device component from the one or more developers, the completed device component configured based on the computer-readable specification; and

allocate points corresponding to the point cost for each developer to each of the one or more developers.

9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the device component is configured to cause the device to perform the one or more features without dependency from another device component.

10. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the point cost for each developer is received from the developer prior to generating the point cost.

11. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to receive points, from the user prior to transmitting the task, equal to the point cost for each of the one or more developers selected from the set of developers.

12. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to automatically check that the completed device component performs the one or more features.

13. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein allocate points is responsive to the check.

14. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein generate the computer-readable specification is responsive to receiving the perform one or more features from the user; and

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to determine that stored device components are not capable of causing the device to perform the one or more features.

15. A computer readable storage medium having data stored therein representing software executable by a computer, the software comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the computer readable storage medium to perform:

generating a computer-readable specification for a device component, the device component comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a device to perform one or more features;

transmitting the computer-readable specification to a set of developers that are determined to be capable of developing the device component;

generating a point cost for each developer in the set of developers to develop the device component;

transmitting a task to one or more developers, selected from the set of developers by a user, to develop a device application;

receiving a completed device component from the one or more developers, the completed device component configured based on the computer-readable specification; and

allocating points corresponding to the point cost for each developer to each of the one or more developers.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the device component is configured to cause the device to perform the one or more features without dependency from another device component.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the point cost for each developer is received from the developer prior to generating the point cost.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform receiving points, from the user prior to transmitting the task, equal to the point cost for each of the one or more developers selected from the set of developers.

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform automatically checking, by a computing system, that the completed device component performs the one or more features; and

wherein allocating points is responsive to the checking.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein generating the computer-readable specification is responsive to receiving the perform one or more features from the user; and

wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform determining that stored device components are not capable of causing the device to perform the one or more features.
