Abstract

In a device for de-duplicating localized resources including a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of accessing, from a data storage, a source resource package and a localized resource package containing first and second resources, respectively; filtering the localized resource package to identify the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources; creating, based on the first resources, a language-neutral resource collection including a plurality of language-neutral resources; creating a localized resource collection including the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources; and creating a deployment resource package containing the language-neutral and localized resource collections.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A device for de-duplicating localized resources, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of:
accessing, from a computer data storage, a source resource package and a localized resource package containing first and second resources, respectively, wherein the first resources and the second resources comprise computer resources;
filtering the localized resource package to identify the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources;
creating, based on the first resources, a language-neutral resource container comprising a plurality of language-neutral resources;
creating a localized resource container comprising the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources, wherein the language-neutral resource container and the localized resource container comprise a computer container;
creating a deployment resource package containing the language-neutral resource container and the localized resource container;
deploying the deployment resource package containing the language-neutral resource container and localized resource container on hardware assets;
and
updating the deployment resource package on the hardware assets by updating only the language-neutral resource container.

A method of operating a device for de-duplicating localized resources, comprising:

accessing, from a computer data storage, a source resource package and a localized resource package containing first and second resources, respectively, wherein the first resources and the second resources comprise computer resources;
filtering the localized resource package to identify the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources;
creating, based on the first resources, a language-neutral resource container comprising a plurality of language-neutral resources, wherein the language-neutral resource container and the localized resource container comprise a computer container;
creating a localized resource container comprising the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources;
creating a deployment resource package containing the language-neutral and localized resource containers;
deploying the deployment resource package containing the language-neutral resource container and localized resource container on hardware assets;
and
updating the deployment resource package on the hardware assets by updating only the language-neutral resource container.
