Device and method for providing a mobile device to download a compatible software

The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a downloading software, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for providing a mobile device for downloading a compatible software.

Java is a platform-independent platform that can be cross-platform because Java programs are executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). However, for developers of mobile devices, Java's cross-platform openness is not as good as expected. The main reasons are twofold:

1. The Java virtual machine version on the mobile device is inconsistent.

2. The screen size and memory size of the mobile device vary with the brand and model.

Therefore, the Java software developer of the mobile device needs to develop a plurality of different versions for use by different brands and different types of mobile devices, and the user needs to download a version suitable for the mobile device to perform and display the Java program normally. There are two types of prior art for discriminating mobile device models to download compatible Java software:

1. The user connects to the download page of the server provided by the Java software developer through the mobile device. The server is based on the user agent data (User Agent) in the Hypertext Transmission Protocol (HTTP) connection request of the mobile device. The following is a list of user agent information for general mobile phones:

a.Nokia7360/2.0(03.21)Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

b.LG-KG800 MIC/WAP2.0 MIDP-2.0/CLDC-1.1 UP.Link/1.1

From the above examples, it can be found that the user agent data of the general mobile phone has the brand and model data, so the server can obtain the brand and model data according to the user agent data in the mobile phone's super file transfer protocol connection request, and the server base The software and the model data are provided to provide software information suitable for the mobile device. The software data is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which defines the network address of the actual storage software. The following is a list of user agent information for PDA:

A.intent JTE Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

b.Jbed-FastDAC Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

From the above examples, it can be found that the user agent information of the PDA usually has no clear brand and model data.

2. The user connects to the server provided by the Java software developer and selects the manufacturer and model of the supported mobile device on the web page to download compatible Java software.

Please refer to the "FIG. 1A", which is a system block diagram of the prior art 1. The mobile device 10 is connected to the server 20, and the server 20 obtains the user agent data of the mobile device 10, and executes the backend check program 21 to extract the brand and model data. The backend inspection program 21 compares the software data according to the brand model data to the storage unit 30. The storage unit 30 stores a plurality of software materials.

Please refer to FIG. 1B, which is a schematic diagram of the connection method of the prior art 1, and the mobile device 10 is connected to the server 20 in a 3-Way Handshake manner. The first phase T1 is sent by the mobile device 10 to the hypertext transfer protocol network connection request: the SYN synchronization flag to the server 20. The second phase T2 is returned by the server 20 to the hyper-file transfer protocol network connection response: the AKE confirmation flag and the SYN synchronization flag to the mobile device 10. The third stage T3 is sent by the mobile device 10 to the hyper-file transfer protocol network connection request: the AKE confirms the flag to the server 20. The three segments are completed, indicating that the connection is established, and the server 20 also requests the user agent data of the mobile device 10 from the three-segment super-file transfer protocol network connection.

Please refer to FIG. 1C, which is a schematic diagram of a download page of the server of the prior art 1. The user connects to the download page 22 of the server 20 by using the mobile device 10, and the server 20 obtains the user agent data. The user chooses to download the download function option 23 of the web page 22. The server 20 carries a backend check program 21 for extracting the brand and model data of the user agent data to compare whether the storage unit 30 has corresponding software data. If there is corresponding software data, the user can download the corresponding software data through the mobile device 10, wherein the software data is a unified resource locator, and the mobile device 10 can download the compatible Java software through the corresponding software data. If the corresponding software data is not found, the backend check program 21 displays on the download page 22 of the server 20: "Check that no related Java program is available for download" or "Model cannot be recognized".

Please refer to "FIG. 2A", which is a system block diagram of the prior art 2. As compared with the prior art 1 described above, the server 20 has no backend inspection program 21. The user connects to the download page 22 of the server 20 through the mobile device 10, directly selects the brand option 24 and the model option 25 of the mobile device 10, and selects the download function option 23 to obtain the software data from the storage unit 30 for the mobile device 10 to download. Compatible with Java software. The storage unit 30 stores a plurality of software materials corresponding to the mobile devices 10 of each brand and model. The software data is a uniform resource locator.

Please refer to FIG. 2B, which is a schematic diagram of a server webpage of the prior art 2. The user uses the mobile device 10 to connect to the download webpage 22 of the server 20, and selects the brand option 24 and the model option 25 of the mobile device 10. Finally, select download function option 23 to download the corresponding software data. When the user selects the brand option 24 and the model option 25 of the mobile device 10 and selects the download function option 23, the server 20 directly obtains the corresponding software data from the storage unit 30 for the mobile device 10 to download the compatible Java software.

In summary, the user may not store the corresponding software information in the storage unit 30, the brand name and model data of the user agent data, and the download page 22 of the server 20 because the user agent data of the mobile device 10 used is not stored. The brand option 24 and the model option 25 do not include the brand and model of the user's mobile device 10, and the corresponding compatible Java software cannot be downloaded.

Therefore, how to solve the above problems is an urgent issue.
