A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11972254B2) discloses a method and device for transforming legacy applications into low-code/no-code applications to be managed by a low-code/no-code platform. The method involves receiving an application for a legacy application, processing it with a machine learning model to identify components, transforming these components, implementing them in the legacy application, and performing actions based on the transformed legacy application. The device includes processors and memories to execute plugin applications, process legacy applications, transform components, implement them, and perform various actions based on the transformed legacy application.

The patent details the process of identifying components in the legacy application by determining dependencies, identifying folders, and files, as well as local storage and hypertext transfer protocol calls. It also describes the transformation process, which involves creating panes for components to generate transformed components. The device is further configured to enable manipulation, configuration, and updates of the transformed components via the low-code/no-code platform. Additionally, the patent includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method, processing legacy applications, transforming components, and performing actions based on the transformed legacy application. Overall, the patent aims to streamline the transformation of legacy applications into low-code/no-code applications for efficient management on a low-code/no-code platform.
