Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for a server for app development. The server includes a memory, a network communication interface, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive user input from users of the electronic devices, the user input indicative of requests for searches of the stored profiles, send results of the searches of the stored profiles to the users of the electronic devices, receive requests from the users to send invitations to other users to join a virtual app development team, send invitations to the other users to join the virtual app development team, receive acceptance information from one or more of the other users, create a virtual app development team based on the acceptance information, and configure a section in the memory accessible to the virtual app development team and dedicated for development of an app.

Claims

1. A server comprising:

a memory configured to store profiles for one or more of innovators, entrepreneurs, developers, consumers, enterprises, investors, and any other person involved in the development of an app, the profiles including data for a respective innovator, developer, investor or any other particular person involved in the development of an app;

a network communication interface configured to receive communications with one or more electronic devices; and

a controller in communication with the memory and the network communication interface, and configured to;

receive user input from users of the electronic devices, the user input indicative of requests for searches of the stored profiles;

send results of the searches of the stored profiles to the users of the electronic devices according to one or more predetermined criteria;

receive requests from the users to send invitations to other users to join a virtual app development team;

send invitations to the other users to join the virtual app development team;

receive acceptance information from one or more of the other users;

create a virtual app development team based on the acceptance information; and

configure a section in the memory accessible to the virtual app development team and dedicated for development of an app.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to make accessible one or more app development tools for development of the app.

3. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

analyze app data to determine one or more trends, the app data comprising performance data of the app or usage data of the app; and

report the determined one or more trends to the virtual app development team.

4. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

make a commercial agreement available to at least one user in the virtual app development team; and

receive commercial agreement input in order to generate a virtual app development team commercial agreement for the virtual app development team to develop and market the app.

5. The server of claim 4, wherein the commercial agreement comprises a standard agreement;

and

wherein controller is configured to generate the virtual app development team commercial agreement based on the commercial agreement and the commercial agreement input.

6. The server of claim 5, wherein the commercial agreement input includes amounts indicative of division of revenues from sale of the app;

and

wherein the virtual app development team commercial agreement includes terms based on the amounts indicative of division of revenues from sale of the app.

7. The server of claim 6, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive revenue from sales of the app; and

distribute the revenue to the virtual app development team based on the terms of the virtual app development team commercial agreement.

8. The server of claim 6, wherein the controller is further configured to:

release funding for development of the app;

determine or help determine whether one or more milestones in the commercial agreement have been met; and

transfer funds according to the commercial agreement if it is determined that the one or more milestones have been met.

9. The server of claim 1, wherein the section configured in the memory comprises a project folder for design and development of the app.

10. A method comprising:

receive user input from users of the electronic devices, the user input indicative of requests for searches of stored profiles, the stored profiles for one or more of innovators, entrepreneurs, developers, consumers, enterprises, investors, and any other person involved in the development of an app, the stored profiles including data for a respective innovator, developer investor or any other person involved in the development of an app;

sending results of the searches of the stored profiles to the users of the electronic devices according to one or more predetermined criteria;

receiving requests from the users to send invitations to other users to join a virtual app development team;

sending invitations to the other users to join the virtual app development team;

receiving acceptance information from one or more of the other users;

creating a virtual app development team based on the acceptance information; and

configuring a section in the memory accessible to the virtual app development team and dedicated for development of an app.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to make accessible one or more app development tools for development of the app.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

analyzing app data to determine one or more trends, the app data comprising performance data of the app or usage data of the app; and

reporting the determined one or more trends to the virtual app development team.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

making a commercial agreement available to at least one user in the virtual app development team; and

receiving commercial agreement input in order to generate a virtual app development team commercial agreement for the virtual app development team to develop and market the app.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the commercial agreement comprises a standard agreement;

and

wherein generating the virtual app development team commercial agreement is based on the commercial agreement and the commercial agreement input.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the commercial agreement input includes amounts indicative of division of revenues from sale of the app;

and

wherein the virtual app development team commercial agreement includes terms based on the amounts indicative of division of revenues from sale of the app.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving revenue from sales of the app; and

distributing the revenue to the virtual app development team based on the terms of the virtual app development team commercial agreement.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein further comprising:

releasing funding for development of the app;

determining or helping determine whether one or more milestones in the commercial agreement have been met; and

transferring funds according to the commercial agreement if it is determined that the one or more milestones have been met.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein the section configured in the memory comprises a project folder for design and development of the app.
