A medical device information technology ('IT') data transfer system in one embodiment includes a cluster domain, an external domain and an interface domain. Equipment belonging to the cluster domain may communicate in real time such that availability, safety, security, reliable integrity and performance are guaranteed. The external domain includes equipment not enabled for direct inclusion in the cluster domain, and may include equipment for external information systems, presentation equipment, personal computer equipment, shared medical equipment and bedside medical equipment. The interface domain enables external domain equipment to communicate with cluster equipment in a bidirectional manner. Communication may be via certain access nodes in the cluster. The access nodes enable exchange of information between the open external domain and the closed and private cluster domain.

Mobile device software is managed by providing an interface between a plurality of software module handlers and a plurality of software modules. The interface is invoked responsive to a software module event such as the installation, removal, activation or modification of a software module. The interface identifies the software module and a corresponding attribute list associated with the software module event. The attribute list specifies one or more actions to be taken by at least one of the software module handlers that enable the identified software module to provide one or more functions when invoked. The attribute list is provided to each software module handler identified in the list and each action specified in the list is taken by the corresponding software module handler. This way, the interface reliably manages the different software modules without being aware of the particular functions provided by the modules or the specific actions taken by the handlers.

Mobile device software management method and apparatus

A method of application service exchange across different execution environments includes receiving a registration to handle a service from a server application operating in a first execution environment, receiving a request for the service from a client application operating in a second execution environment, requesting the service from the server application, receiving a result from the server application responsive to the requesting step, and delivering the result to the client application.

Method of and system for application service exchange across different execution environments

Method and system for extending and/or modifying functionality of a platform for a product, such as a mobile terminal for a wireless telecommunications system. The system includes a platform domain having a software services component for providing functionality, and an interface component having at least one interface for providing access to the software services component for enabling application software to be installed, loaded and run in said platform via the at least one interface. The system also includes plug-in software for use together with the application software for extending and/or modifying the functionality of the software services component of the platform domain via the at least one interface.

Plug-in model

A platform system for a mobile terminal for a wireless telecommunications system. The platform system comprises a mobile terminal platform assembly including a software services component having a plurality functional software units, a hardware component having a plurality of hardware units associated with and controlled by the plurality of functional software units, and an interface component having at least one interface for providing access to the mobile terminal platform assembly. The platform system further includes application software loaded, installed and run in said mobile terminal platform assembly via the at least one interface of the interface component. The mobile terminal platform assembly is adapted to be manufactured as a unit and transferred to a user who then loads, installs and runs the application software in the assembly to provide the platform system.

Platform system for mobile terminals

System and method for transmitting messages between first and second software components such as application software and software of a platform for a product. An exemplary system includes a platform having a software component and an interface component having an interface for providing an application or a module in an application domain with access to the software component. The system further includes a message transmitting mechanism for transmitting messages between the application or the module and the platform via the interface that includes a message model for allowing an application to select either a callback mode or a full message mode for receiving messages between the application or the module and the platform, and a message handler for routing messaging according to the selected mode.

Middleware application message/event model

A middleware services layer for a platform system for a mobile terminal for a wireless telecommunications system, the platform system including a mobile terminal platform assembly having a software services component, and application software loaded, installed and run in said mobile terminal platform assembly. The middleware services layer comprises at least one application programming interface (API) for providing access to the mobile terminal platform assembly for loading, installing and running application software in said mobile terminal platform assembly; and, at the same time, isolates the platform assembly from the applications via the at least one API.

Middleware services layer for platform system for mobile terminals

A software application framework includes a framework interface domain for interfacing a platform domain with application domain software of an application domain. The framework also includes a software application domain that includes a first application entity. The first application entity is adapted to interact with at least one of a second application entity, the framework interface domain, at least one utility entity, and at least one plug-in entity.

Middleware application environment

Method and system for controlling access to a platform for a mobile terminal for a wireless telecommunications system or for another product. The system includes a platform having a software services component and an interface component having at least one interface for providing access to the software services component for enabling application domain software to be installed, loaded, and run in the platform. An access controller controls access to the software services component by the application domain software via the at least one interface. The access controller includes an interception module for receiving a request from the application domain software to access the software services component, and a security access manager for determining if the permission request should be granted. The application domain software is granted access to the software services component via the at least one interface if the permission request is granted by the security access manager.
