Abstract:

Systems and methods integrate and provide platform independence to shared component objects. A host is targeted for a mobile device and registers software components. Upon a request for services by an application program, the host finds and facilitates the creation of instances requested by the application program, thereby providing platform independence to the application program and the developer thereof. A module, deployable unit of software components, is also an addressable and programmable object during a run time, thereby facilitating implicit registry of software components on the target device and reducing storage space required on a target device, as well as the CPU processing power. The module also provides module-wide variables, thereby enabling distinct instances constructed from classes contained within the module to share common variables.
