Abstract
Purchase, dissemination, configuration, or provisioning of applications to a mobile device is enabled. The systems can comprise devices that receive indications from a small to medium sized businesses of a need for an application, obtain the application from an independent software vendor, configure the application for utilization on the mobile device, and thereafter dispatches the application to the mobile device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- in response to receiving, from a network device, a request for a first application, determining, based on a user identity and data representing historical data, extrinsic data, context data, and state data associated with the user identity, that a benefit associated with making a correct decision in regard to selecting the first application associated with a first distinguishable application functionality rather than selecting a previously sent second application associated with a second distinguishable application functionality outweighs a cost associated with not making the correct decision in regard to not selecting the first application rather than selecting the previously sent second application;
- and
- in response to the determining, sending the first application to a user device or the second application to the user device.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, a difference between facilitating execution on a device of a first distinct application functionality associated with a first application and facilitating execution on the device of a second distinct application functionality associated with a second application, wherein the difference is determined as a function of data representing historical data, extrinsic data, context data, and state data associated with an identity associated with the device and a utility based inference that determines that a benefit associated with making a decision correctly in relation to the first distinct application functionality and the second distinct application functionality outweighs a cost associated with making the decision incorrectly in relation to the first distinct application functionality and the second distinct application functionality;
- configuring, by the system, the first application for execution on the device;
- and
- sending, by the system, the first application to the device.
1 more element
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- in response to receiving a request, facilitated by an agent executing on a remote device, for an application and as function of an operation associated with a first application functionality previously initiated on the remote device, performing a cost versus benefit analysis to identify the application, wherein facilitating on the remote device of the first application functionality differs from facilitating on the remote device of a second application functionality associated with the application, and wherein the cost versus benefit analysis uses data, representative of historical data, extrinsic data, context data, and state data associated with an identity, to determine a benefit associated with a decision relating to the first application functionality and the second application functionality being greater than a cost associated with not making the decision relating to the first application functionality and the second application functionality;
- and
- as a function of the cost versus benefit analysis, sending the application with the first application functionality, or sending the application with the second application functionality, to the remote device.
