Abstract

The proposed embodiment provides a method and system for automatically versioning machine to machine (M2M) network applications. The method and system includes receiving information about applications associated with each node in the network, determining new versions of the applications based on the received information and versioning the new versions of the applications on each node in the network.

Claims

1. A method for automatically versioning machine to machine (M2M) network applications, the method comprising:

receiving information about at least one application associated with at least one node in said network;

determining at least one version of said at least one application based on said information; and

versioning said at least one version of said at least one application on said at least one node in said network.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises communicating at least one request to receive said information from said at least one node in said network.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises downloading said at least one version on said at least one node in said network.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises installing said at least one version on said at least one node in said network.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises updating said at least one application in accordance to said at least one determined version.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises generating at least one version of said at least one application based on said information.

7. A system for automatically versioning machine to machine (M2M) network applications, the system comprising a server configured to:

receive information about at least one application associated with at least one node in said network,

determine at least one version of said at least one application based on said information, and

upgrade said at least one version of said at least one application on said at least one node in said network.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein said server is further configured to communicate at least one request to receive said information from said at least one node in said network.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein said server is further configured to download said at least one version on said at least one node in said network.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein said server is further configured to install said at least one version on said at least one node in said network.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein said server is further configured to update said at least one application in accordance to said at least one determined version.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein said server is further configured to generate at least one version of said at least one application based on said information.
