Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for developing software applications of wearable devices is provided. The system comprises an application vision module configured to facilitate creation of a sitemap for applications of wearable devices and create application screens and a screen designer module configured to customize the application screens. The system further comprises a business logic module configured to generate code for business rules and business logic functions and link the generated code with the customized application screens and a database creation and interaction module configured to generate code for creating a local database on the wearable devices and link the generated code with the customized application screens. Furthermore, the system comprises a server mapping module configured to map the linked code with web services and a server database, an application structuring module configured to generate an application structure and code generators configured to generate native code of the applications.

Claims

facilitate creation of a sitemap for one or more applications under development of one or more wearable devices; and

create one or more application screens using one or more predefined templates based on the created sitemap;

a screen designer module, executed by the processor, configured to customize the one or more application screens;

a business logic module, executed by the processor, configured to generate code for one or more business rules and business logic functions related to the one or more applications and link the generated code with the one or more customized application screens;

a database creation and interaction module, executed by the processor, configured to generate code for creating a local database on the one or more wearable devices for the one or more applications and link the generated code with the one or more customized application screens;

a server mapping module, executed by the processor, configured to map the linked code corresponding to the one or more business rules and business logic functions and the linked code corresponding to the local database with one or more web services and a server database, wherein the server database is part of an existing enterprise system with which the one or more applications under development will interact for performing requisite business functions;

an application structuring module, executed by the processor, configured to generate an application structure based on the one or more customized application screens after mapping with the one or more web services and the server database; and

one or more code generators, executed by the processor, configured to generate a native code of the one or more applications, specific to operating system of the one or more wearable devices, based on the generated application structure.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the sitemap comprises navigation flow of the one or more applications.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more wearable devices comprise Apple Watch and Android Wear.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the local database is an embedded database.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the local database is SQLite.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the application structure is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) representation of the one or more applications under development.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more code generators generate the native code in swift language for Apple watch.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more code generators comprise an Android Software Development Kit (SDK) that generates the native code in Java language for Android Wear.

9. A computer-implemented method for developing software applications of wearable devices, via program instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor, the computer-implemented method comprising:
