Core Blue Ltd ('CoreBlue') is seeking to create a universal middleware, '**AllyGateway**' that allows users of services such as banking apps, to continue to use applications without an active internet connection through using an innovative fragment and repair process, reducing resource requirements and enabling automatic scalability of processing power.Mobile applications interact with services through web APIs that facilitate real-time data communication. In many applications, an offline-first approach allows users to store actions on their devices to be synced with the service when the internet returns. This isn't suitable for services like banking where actions must be synced immediately with the backend. AllyGateway will enable data transfer by passing through data streams that are broken and broadcast over the USSD.Gateways exist to allow users to request and send data over USSD, a protocol independent of the internet. However, services are very limited to short, menu-based systems that allow users to:* View balances* Transfer money* Pay billsThrough separate applications typically operating a "Text-based" interface not designed for smartphone users and taking users away from their native, 1st party mobile application.To overcome the current challenges of internet-independent communication, AllyGateway will be built with the primary objective of acting as a layer between existing systems, with ease of integration so service providers are still supported by existing setup - whilst CoreBlue's API middleware can begin operating and introducing innovative functionality.AllyGateway will provide:* Access to core internet-based services without an active internet connection* Native mobile tools that can be embedded into existing smartphone applications* Risk-Free Integration: AllyGateway will act as a 'layer' to existing systems, not replacing core servicesAllyGateway facilitates international campaigns for proxies so the public can continue to communicate during internet blackouts\[BBCNews,2023\], whilst maintaining the high-levels of privacy/security required and can be application-agnostic with future R&D.

核心蓝有限公司（'CoreBlue'）正在寻求创建一个通用中间件，'**AllyGateway**'，允许银行应用程序等服务的用户通过使用创新的片段和修复过程，在没有活动互联网连接的情况下继续使用应用程序，减少资源需求并实现处理能力的自动可伸缩性。移动的应用程序通过Web API与服务交互，这些Web API有助于实现真实的时间数据通信在许多应用程序中，离线优先的方法允许用户将操作存储在他们的设备上，以便在互联网恢复时与服务同步。这不适合像银行这样的服务，因为在这些服务中，操作必须立即与后端同步。AllyGateway将通过在USSD上中断和广播的数据流来实现数据传输。网关的存在允许用户通过USSD请求和发送数据，USSD是一种独立于互联网的协议。然而，这些服务非常局限于简短的、基于菜单的系统，允许用户：* 查看余额 * 转账 * 支付账单通过单独的应用程序，通常操作一个“基于文本”的界面，而不是为智能手机用户设计的，并将用户从他们的本地第一方移动的应用程序中带走。为了克服当前独立于互联网的通信的挑战，AllyGateway将以充当现有系统之间的层为主要目标来构建，易于集成，因此服务提供商仍然受到现有设置的支持-而CoreBlue的API中间件可以开始运行并引入创新功能。* 无需活动互联网连接即可访问基于互联网的核心服务 * 可嵌入现有智能手机应用程序的原生移动的工具 * 无风险集成：AllyGateway将作为现有系统的“层”，而不是取代核心服务AllyGateway促进了代理的国际活动，因此公众可以在互联网停电期间继续通信\[BBCNews，2023\]，同时保持所需的高级别隐私/安全性，并且可以与未来的研发无关。
