Patent attributes
A system of mobile device operation system and apps delivery is disclosed. All updates of the mobile device including system updates and feature apps updates are delivered over-the-air (“OTA”). When a system update is available, it is delivered to the mobile device for download and installation. If feature apps updates are available but a system update is not available, the system delivers the feature apps updates to the mobile device for download and installation. Feature apps updates coming from the two different routes are stored in different partitions of the OS image on the mobile device for version control. Feature apps updates included in subsequent system updates takes precedent over previously installed updates of the same or earlier versions.
