Abstract

A method for facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device which includes combining, in a module, a plurality of development tools used in the creation of the application. The module is integrated with an emulator of the wireless-connected device. The integration of the module includes creating and packaging the application with a plurality of profiles without modification of the module. The module may be integrated into an Integrated Development Environment.

Claims

1. A method of facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device, comprising:

combining, in a module, a plurality of development tools used in the creation of the application; and

integrating the module with an emulator of the wireless-connected device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

integrating the module into an Integrated Development Environment.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

using the emulator to execute the application developed using the module.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

using a plurality of emulators for a plurality of different wireless-connected devices.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein use of the emulator is concurrent with the application created using the module.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein integrating the module comprises creating and packaging the application with a plurality of profiles without modification of the module.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

using the emulator to execute the application developed using the module; and

using an additional emulator for a different wireless-connected device to execute the application.

8. A method of developing an application for a wireless-connected device, comprising:

developing the application using a module having a plurality of development tools; and

using an emulator for a wireless-connected device integrated with the module to execute the application.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

using a second emulator for a second wireless-connected device integrated with the module to execute the application.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the use of the emulator is concurrent with the application created using the module.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the module is integrated into an Integrated Development Environment.

12. A method of installing a module used for the development of an application for a wireless-connected device executed on an emulator, comprising:

installing an Integrated Development Environment;

integrating the module into the Integrated Development Environment;

installing an emulator configuration file;

installing a plurality of original equipment manufacturer files and templates;

installing a parser database; and

starting the Integrated Development Environment.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the emulator configuration files comprises an Emulator Environment and an Emulator Configuration.
