Abstract
An apparatus and a method for a client to server deployment via an online distribution platform can include a mechanism to update at least part of a system software or server-side software via a parallel client software update. Online distribution platforms such as mobile application stores can be utilized in embodiments of the apparatus and method to provide not only the client update, but also the system software update in the underlying system (e.g. server-side version).

A method for a client to server deployment in a system via an online distribution platform, each client comprising a processor connected to a non-transitory computer readable medium, each server comprising a processor connected to a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method comprising:
- a) receiving a client software update and an image or at least a part of an image of a server-side software update at a client from an online distribution platform;
- b) approving the software update by the client to verify that a software update is necessary;
- c) updating or installing the client software update on the client and subsequently logging in to a server;
- d) requesting a server deployment from the server by the client;
- and
- e) transferring the package of the image or at least a part of the image of the server-side software update from the client to the server.
A telecommunication apparatus for a client to server deployment comprising:
- a client comprising a processor connected to non-transitory computer readable medium;
- the client having access to an online distribution platform and being configured to download a client software update and an image or at least a part of the image of a server-side software update for a server from this online distribution platform;
- the client configured to install the client software update and log in to the server to request a server deployment in response to determining that a client software update is necessary;
- wherein the server is configured to acknowledge the server deployment request of the client and request a package of the image or at least a part of the image of a server-side software update from the client in response to the server deployment request of the client;
- and
- wherein the client is configured to transfer at least one package of the image or at least a part of the image of the server-side software update from the client to the server in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the server concerning the server deployment request.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having code stored thereon, the code defining a method that is performed by a client computer device that runs the code, the method comprising:
- a) receiving a client software update and an image or at least a part of an image of a server-side software update from an online distribution platform;
- b) approving the software update to verify that a software update is necessary;
- c) installing the software update on the client and subsequent logging in to a server to which the client computer device is communicatively connectable;
- d) requesting a server deployment from the server by the client computer device to facilitate receipt of an acknowledgement from the server;
- f) the client computer device transferring at least one package of the image or at least a part of the image of the server-side software update from the client computer device to the server in response to receiving the acknowledgement from the server.
