Method and system of application deployment on a mobile communication device

A mobile communication device, comprising:

• a program memory storing a client application installed on the mobile communication device and one or more mobile applications installed on the mobile communication device;
• a first data port to facilitate communication between the client application and the one or more mobile applications;
• a second data port to facilitate communication with an application server;
• and
• a processor to
• (a) receive from the application server one or more mobile applications for installation on the mobile communication device via the client application;
• (b) store on the mobile communication device the one or more mobile applications received from the application server;
• (c) send from the mobile application to the client application, using the first data port, operational data indicative of information input to the mobile communication device by a user;
• (d) store in an application database on the mobile communication device the operational data received from the mobile application;
• (e) authenticate the client application and/or mobile application with the application server using the second data port;
• and
• (f) automatically transmit to the application server, using the second data port, the operational data received from the mobile application.

A method as performed by a mobile application installed on a mobile communication device, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving, via the mobile communication device, operational data indicative of information input to the mobile communication device by a user;
• (b) storing in an application database on the mobile communication device the operational data received;
• (c) authenticating the mobile application with a client application installed on the mobile communication device, the client application having been used to deploy the mobile application on the mobile communication device;
• and
• (d) transmitting to the client application the operational data indicative of information input to the mobile communication device by a user.

A method as performed by an application server, the method comprising:

• (a) deploying one or more mobile applications to a mobile communication device via a client application installed on the mobile communication device, wherein the client application provides a platform for deployment and use of the one or more mobile applications;
• (b) authenticating the client application with the application server;
• (c) receiving from the client application, via a communications network, operational data indicative of information input to the mobile communication device by a user via the one or more mobile applications, the client application being configured to facilitate the application server to deploy the one or more mobile applications to the mobile communication device;
• and
• (d) storing in an application database the operational data received from the client application.

An application server comprising:

• a communication port to communicate with a client application installed on a mobile communication device, the client application providing a platform for (i) the application server to deploy one or more mobile applications on the mobile communication device, and (ii) use of the one or more mobile applications on the mobile communication device;
• an application database stored in one or more memories to store multiple records of operational data;
• and
• a hardware processor to:
• authenticate the client application with the application server;
• receive from the client application, via a communications network, operational data indicative of information input to the mobile communication device by a user;
• and
• store in the application database the operational data received from the client application.
