Dynamic user-defined application leveraging local service oriented architecture to share mobile application features

A portable electronic device comprising:

• a memory allocation configured to store at least three executable assets;
• and
• a processor allocation operably coupled to the memory allocation and configured to access the memory allocation to load at least a portion of the at least three executable assets into a working memory allocation of the memory allocation to instantiate:
• a first microfunction configured to couple to a first host service;
• a second microfunction configured to couple to a second host service;
• and
• an integrated application coupled to the first microfunction and the second microfunction, the integrated application configured to:
• generate a first request to the first microfunction for first data received from the first host service;
• generate a second request to the second microfunction for second data received from the second host service;
• and
• render a graphical user interface comprising third data based at least in part from the first data and the second data.

A method for providing shared resource allocations in a portable electronic device, the method comprising:

• creating a microfunction instance defined by a configuration file, the microfunction instance configured to provide a service;
• instantiating a first integrated application;
• communicably coupling the first integrated application instance to the microfunction instance;
• instantiating a second integrated application;
• communicably coupling the second integrated application instance to the microfunction instance;
• and
• executing the microfunction instance to provide a function to both the first integrated application instance and the second integrated application instance.
