Publication number: 20180013616Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus, system, and method for modifying the behavior of an application using configuration. A configuration platform allows for the provisioning of configuration data on a local device. The configuration can cause the application to be reactive to the user's environment, such as location and time of day. The configuration data provides a convenient way to change application behavior without implementing dynamic behavior at development time.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Aharon Abadi, Idan Ben-Harrush, Nili Ifergan-Guy, Dmitri Pikus, Oleg Sternberg
