A study on the development of one source multi use cross-platform based on zero coding

Abstract

This study is to research and develop a native application based development tool which can perfectly satisfy both OSMU and cross-platform, and secure stable H/W control and execution speed. Additionally, this study is to enable developers in beginner or intermediate level to develop an application with the `zero coding methodology' reflected tool developed by this study and not using the conventional program coding methods, eventually providing the environment that anyone, who can use MS office programs, can easily develop an application. The explosively increasing demand for the development of mobile apps is due to all works on typical PCs that should be converted to the smart basis. Although functions to be implemented are the same, different apps should be developed for each platform to result in cost, period and task forces increased a few times. The web-based application platform emerging as a solution for cross platforms is not capable of embodying the desired One Source Multi Use due to speed, UI, and technical incompleteness. Therefore if a "native-based OSMU development platform" is implemented which can develop native apps operating in various mobile operating systems, their high development productivity will contribute to remarkably reduced task forces, costs and time for development and maintenance. Also it will be possible to preoccupy the market of a potential as great as the exiting operating systems, for example, Android, iOS, Windows 8, etc. In order to develop and makes fullest use of smart app authoring tool different approaches should be appropriately employed. Firstly, it is required to have a close relation with legacy systems. Secondly, developers are fully qualified to use office programs. Thirdly, different programs should be also differently developed for business uses. This study aims to commercialize the authoring tool technology of the GUI method without coding and the source technology for driving apps in the cross platform environment. The high development productivity of one source multi use cross-platform based on Zero Coding will contribute to remarkably reduced task forces, costs and time for development and maintenance. The final goal of this paper is to establish operating platform specialized for business under predominant operating systems such as Google's Android or Apple's iOS, and to create making tools for application programs based on GUI, in which anyone can easily learn and implement by this platform.
