InnoPath Software has received two new patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
InnoPath incorporates these patented methods in its DeltaUpgrade
Plus(tm) OTA mobile device management solution, which provides a single update product platform for converging mobile devices, helping to overcome the constraints of embedded software updating.
Applying a known file difference utility to an old program and a new program normally results in a relatively large amount of data, even if there are only a small number of modifiations. InnoPath’s patent means only essential programming changes appear in a delta file, typically shrinking update packages by as much as 97%. A reduction in bandwidth and memory requirements during software deployment helps wireless operators increase customer retention and dramatically cut service costs.
