Abstract

An apparatus and method for a cloud-based development environment service. The apparatus for a cloud-based development environment service includes a development environment provision unit for providing development environments that are configured to develop an application and that correspond to multiple terminal devices, an emulation environment provision unit for providing emulation environments that are configured to verify execution of the application and that correspond to the multiple terminal devices, a customized environment configuration unit for configuring a customized environment based on both a development environment and an emulation environment corresponding to a terminal device designated by a client, among the multiple terminal devices, and a customized environment transmission unit for transmitting the customized environment to the client.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus for a cloud-based development environment service, comprising:
a development environment provision unit for providing development environments that are configured to develop an application and that correspond to multiple terminal devices; an emulation environment provision unit for providing emulation environments that are configured to verify execution of the application and that correspond to the multiple terminal devices; a customized environment configuration unit for configuring a customized environment based on both a development environment and an emulation environment corresponding to a terminal device designated by a client, among the multiple terminal devices; and a customized environment transmission unit for transmitting the customized environment to the client.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the customized environment configuration unit configures a customized environment including multiple emulation environments so that interoperability between the emulation environments is capable of being verified.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the development environment and the emulation environment is provided in a form of a plug-in.

4 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the development environment and the emulation environment comprises at least one of a hardware environment, an operating system, a library, and a device-collaborative Software Development Kit (SDK) of the corresponding terminal device.

5 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein each terminal device comprises at least one of a smart phone, a tablet, a smart Television (TV), a signage terminal, a digital menu board, an electronic blackboard, and a wearable device.

6 . A method for a cloud-based development environment service, comprising:
providing development environments that are configured to develop an application and that correspond to multiple terminal devices; providing emulation environments that are configured to verify execution of the application and that correspond to the multiple terminal devices; configuring a customized environment based on both a development environment and an emulation environment corresponding to a terminal device designated by a client, among the multiple terminal devices; and transmitting the customized environment to the client.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein configuring the customized environment comprises configuring a customized environment including multiple emulation environments so that interoperability between the emulation environments is capable of being verified.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the development environment and the emulation environment is provided in a form of a plug-in.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the development environment and the emulation environment comprises at least one of a hardware environment, an operating system, a library, and a device-collaborative Software Development Kit (SDK) of the corresponding terminal device.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein each terminal device comprises at least one of a smart phone, a tablet, a smart Television (TV), a signage terminal, a digital menu board, an electronic blackboard, and a wearable device.
