Abstract
Some aspects of the disclosure provide a method comprising receiving, on a digital device, a selection of a first application state of a set of application states of an application, identifying and retrieving path instructions indicating a series of steps to navigate the application to the selected first application state of the set of application states, providing the path instructions to an accessibility module configured to provide accessibility services to a user of the digital device, and navigating, by the accessibility module, the application using the path instructions to configure the application to the selected first application state.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- executing, by a digital device, a first application, the executing of the first application including transmitting a search query and displaying a link for a first state of a second application corresponding to the search query, wherein the second application is installed on the digital device and is executable by the digital device;
- receiving, by the digital device, a user input selecting the link for the first state of the second application;
- in response to receiving the user input selecting the link, identifying, by the digital device, whether the first state of the second application is externally accessible for direct invoking based on information received in response to transmitting the search query;
- and
- based on a result of the digital device identifying whether the first state of the second application which is installed on the digital device is externally accessible, performing one of retrieving, by the digital device, state access instructions configured to invoke the first state of the second application and invoking the first state of the second application using the state access instructions or retrieving, by the digital device, a set of path instructions indicating a series of steps to navigate the second application to the first state of the second application and navigating, by the digital device, the second application to the first state using the set of path instructions.

A digital device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory system, the processor being configured to execute instructions from the memory system, the instructions causing the processor to:
- in response to transmitting a search query in a first application executed on the digital device, display a link for a first state of a second application, wherein the second application is installed on the digital device and is executable by the digital device,
- receive a user input selecting the link for the first state of a second application,
- in response to receiving the user input selecting the link, identify whether the first state of the second application is externally accessible for direct invoking based on information received in response to transmitting the search query, and
- based on a result of the identifying of whether the first state of the second application which is installed on the digital device is externally accessible, perform one of retrieve state access instructions configured to invoke the first state of the second application and invoke the first state of the second application using the state access instructions, or retrieve a set of path instructions indicating a series of steps to navigate the second application to the first state and navigate the second application to the first state using the set of path instructions.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions, the instructions being executable by a data processing device to perform a method, the method comprising:
- executing, by a digital device, a first application, the executing of the first application including transmitting a search query and displaying a link for a first state of a second application corresponding to the search query, wherein the second application is installed on the digital device and is executable by the digital device;
- receiving, by the digital device, a user input selecting the link for the first state of the second application;
- in response to receiving the user input selecting the link, identifying, by the digital device, whether the first state of the second application is externally accessible for direct invoking based on information received in response to transmitting the search query;
- and
- based on a result of the digital device identifying whether the first state of the second application which is installed on the digital device is externally accessible, performing one of retrieving, by the digital device, state access instructions configured to invoke the first state of the second application and invoking the first state of the second application using the state access instructions or retrieving, by the digital device, a set of path instructions indicating a series of steps to navigate the second application to the first state of the second application and navigating, by the digital device, the second application to the first state using the set of path instructions.
