Abstract
Conventionally, application launchers have limited their functionality to provide shortcut ways for searching/executing pre-configured applications and fail to provide a uniform user experience and usability across computing systems and applications installed therein. Currently, applications in such computing systems are manual controlled, which is time consuming and thus lack in security during accessing content. Present disclosure provides a cloud driven application launcher (CDAL) that is installed in client device. Once the computing device is configured with latest configurations, the client device serves as a master device wherein the master device creates, in an offline mode, an ad hoc network wherein other client devices connect to master device for upgrading version of applications comprised in client devices to a corresponding version of applications in master device. The master device and client devices are synchronized by the CDAL and a uniform user interface (UI) is enabled for the master device and client devices.
