Hybrid web container for cross-platform mobile applications
First Claim
1. A method for generating a cross-platform mobile application, comprising:
- providing web files, including a forms file having multiple forms that create display screens for the cross-platform mobile application and a script file that customizes the cross-platform mobile application with business logic, wherein the multiple forms designate one display screen per form;
generating the cross-platform mobile application using the web files, wherein the cross-platform mobile application receives data from a data source and manipulates data on a plurality of mobile devices; and
distributing the web files to workflow containers on the plurality of mobile devices, whereby the workflow container includes a browser interface for browser access of the forms and script files upon request, and container services for the data access from the data source as the cross-platform application executes.

Abstract
The systems, methods and computer program products for designing cross-platform mobile applications that execute on multiple operating platforms. The mobile application is activated with a workflow that includes data from a data source. The mobile application includes a plurality of web files configured to cause the mobile application to manipulate data from the data source. At least one web file in the plurality of web files is configured to display one or more screens of the mobile application. At least one file in the plurality of web files is configured to implement business logic of the mobile application. The mobile application also includes a container service configured to communicate data between the mobile device and a data source.
