Methods and systems for partial personalization during mobile application update

A server computer comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium coupled to the processor, the computer-readable medium comprising code, executable by the processor, to perform a method for updating personalization information associated with an updated mobile application on a communication device, the method comprising:
• receiving a migration notification from the application provider computer, the migration notification including device identification information, applet identification information, and application version information for a mobile application installed on the communication device by the application provider computer;
• identifying an account associated with the migration notification using the device identification information and the applet identification information;
• identifying a current personalization profile associated with the mobile application using the received application version information;
• identifying an updated personalization profile associated with the updated mobile application;
• determining partial personalization information associated with a difference between the current personalization profile and the updated personalization profile;
• generating partial personalization scripts including the partial personalization information for updating the personalization information stored in the mobile application of the communication device;
• and
• providing the partial personalization scripts to the application provider computer for installation on the communication device.

A system comprising:

• a communication device including an updated mobile application configured to:
• send a migration notification in response to an update event, the migration notification including device identification information, applet identification information, and application version information to an application provider computer;
• the application provider computer configured to:
• receive the migration notification;
• determine a provisioning computer associated with the mobile application;
• transmit the migration notification to the provisioning computer;
• receive partial personalization scripts from the provisioning computer;
• and
• install the partial personalization scripts on the communication device;
• and
• the provisioning computer configured to:
• receive the migration notification from the application provider computer;
• identify a current personalization profile associated with the communication device using the device identification information and the applet identification information;
• identify an account associated with the migration notification using the device identification information and the applet identification information;
• identify a current personalization profile associated with the mobile application using the received application version information;
• identify an updated personalization profile associated with the updated mobile application on the communication device;
• determine partial personalization information associated with a difference between the current personalization profile and the updated personalization profile;
• generate the partial personalization scripts including the partial personalization information for updating the personalization information stored in the mobile application of the communication device;
• and
• provide the partial personalization scripts to the master application provider for installation.
