Systems and methods for operating and managing enterprise systems on a mobile electronic device to measure efficiency and productivity of mobile electronic device operators

A system for terminal emulation, comprising:

• a terminal emulation application executing on one or more processors of a mobile electronic device that receives via a transceiver first content from an enterprise system running on a remote computer system;
• a productivity counter executing on the one or more processors of the mobile electronic device that maintains second content including a productivity counter;
• a control button generator executing on the one or more processors of the mobile electronic device that generate a see through touch sensitive buttons for operating with the terminal emulation application;
• an user interface engine executing on the one or more processors of the mobile electronic device that displays a user interface on a touchscreen display of the mobile electronic device, the user interface including:
• the first content received by the terminal emulation application;
• the second content including the productivity count maintained by the productivity counter;
• and
• the see through touch sensitive button superimposed in a semi-transparent manner over the first content, the see through touch sensitive button providing a touch-sensitive key, the see through touch sensitive button providing a touch-sensitive key to send sending data to the remote computer system responsive to activation while simultaneously continuing to display the first content received from the remote computer system on the touch screen display.

A system for configuring a mobile device for enterprise use, comprising:

• an enterprise application executing on a remote computer system having one or more processors that maintains an inventory count;
• an operations management module executing on the remote computer system that maintains a server-side productivity count in a database;
• and
• an installation module executing on the remote computer system that transmits a terminal emulation application for installation at a mobile electronic device, the terminal emulation application causing the mobile electronics device to display a user interface including:
• first content received from the remote computing system, including an emulated version of the enterprise application;
• second content including a client-side productivity count maintained by the mobile electronic device;
• and
• a see through touch sensitive button superimposed in a semi-transparent manner over the first content, the see through touch sensitive button providing a touch-sensitive key to send data to the remote computer system responsive to activation while simultaneously continuing to display the first content received from the remote computer system on the touch screen display.
