Enterprise application store for an orchestration framework for connected devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- interconnecting, by an orchestration framework operating at a computing device, a plurality of computing devices comprising a first computing device and a second computing device;
receiving, at the orchestration framework from the first computing device, a message indicating that the second computing device has been selected at the first computing device to perform a computing activity;
determining, by the orchestration framework, which application of a plurality of applications stored at an application store is configured to provide instructions that, when executed by the second computing device, cause the second computing device to perform the computing activity;
selecting, by the orchestration framework, the application determined from among the plurality of applications;
instructing, by the orchestration framework, the application store to transmit to the second computing device the application selected; and
instructing, by the orchestration framework, the second computing device to perform the computing activity using the application.

Abstract
Aspects described herein allow multiple devices to function as a coherent whole, allowing each device to take on distinct functions that are complementary to one another. Aspects described herein also allow the devices function as a coherent whole when interconnected devices and their respective applications are configured to operate in various operation modes, when management policies are employed to control the operation of the interconnected devices and their respective applications, when transferring content between the interconnected devices and storing the content at those devices, when obtaining access credentials for the interconnected devices that enable the devices to access enterprise resources, when a policy agent applies management policies to control operation of and interaction between the interconnected devices, and when the interconnected devices are used to access an enterprise application store.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; a data store identifying a plurality of computing devices that are interconnected with one another, the plurality of computing devices comprising a first computing device and a second computing device; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by one of the processors, cause the apparatus to; provide an orchestration framework that interconnects the plurality of computing devices, receive, at the orchestration framework from the first computing device, a message indicating that the second computing device has been selected at the first computing device to perform a computing activity, determining, by the orchestration framework, which application of a plurality of applications stored at an application store is configured to provide instructions that, when executed by the second computing device, cause the second computing device to perform the computing activity, selecting, by the orchestration framework, the application determined from among the plurality of applications, instruct, using the orchestration framework, the application store to transmit to the second computing device the application selected, and instruct, using the orchestration framework, the second computing device to perform the computing activity using the application. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
provide an orchestration framework that interconnects a plurality of computing devices comprising a first computing device and a second computing device; receive, at the orchestration framework from the first computing device, a message indicating that the second computing device has been selected at the first computing device to perform a computing activity; determining, by the orchestration framework, which application of a plurality of applications stored at an application store is configured to provide instructions that, when executed by the second computing device, cause the second computing device to perform the computing activity; selecting, by the orchestration framework, the application determined from among the plurality of applications; instruct, using the orchestration framework, the application store to transmit to the second computing device the application selected; and instruct, using the orchestration framework, the second computing device to perform the computing activity using the application. - View Dependent Claims (18)
