Abstract
A system and method are presented that provide a configuration tool on a database gateway. The configuration tool stores configuration data that is used by a mobile app to customize the mobile application user interface. Changes made to the configuration data are accessed by each mobile application to revise the user interface of the mobile application. In one embodiment, the database gateway is an OData gateway that is used by the mobile device to communicate with the database.
Claims20
A computerized system that modifies a user interface for a mobile database application comprising:
- a) a central database;
- b) a gateway in digital communication with the central database;
- c) a mobile device in network communication with the gateway;
- d) a configuration tool operating on the gateway, the configuration tool organizing and storing a configuration file, the configuration file comprising a first configuration;
- and
- e) the mobile device application operating on the mobile device, the mobile device application being programmed to:
- i) receive the first configuration from the configuration tool;
- ii) store the first configuration as a local configuration;
- and
- iii) use the local configuration to create the user interface for the mobile device application.
A method for modifying a user interface for a mobile database application, the method comprising:
- a) transmitting an identifier from the mobile database application to a configuration tool operating on a database gateway to a computerized database;
- b) receiving the identifier at the configuration tool operating on the database gateway;
- c) identifying, at the configuration tool, a first configuration appropriate for the identifier;
- d) transmitting, from the configuration tool, the first configuration to the mobile database application;
- e) storing, at the mobile database application, the first configuration as a local configuration;
- f) using, at the mobile database application, the local configuration to determine the fields and screens that are displayed in the user interface.
