Abstract
A system and method is provided that permits different devices with different applications to respond to the occurrence of a condition in a similar manner. By way of example, trigger data may be synchronized across multiple devices, wherein trigger data identifies information to be provided to a program in response to the occurrence of a condition. If a program is not installed or running on a particular device when the trigger occurs, the device automatically installs and executes the application.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- accessing, with one or more computing devices, a trigger stored in memory, the trigger being associated with a set of parameters and an identifier of a program;
- determining, with the one or more computing devices, whether a condition associated with the trigger has occurred based on a comparison of information received at a first device with the set of parameters associated with the trigger, wherein the information includes content of a push notification;
- when the condition is determined to have occurred, determining, with the one or more computing devices, whether the program associated with the program identifier is installed on the first device based at least in part on the push notification;
- when the program associated with the program identifier is not installed on the first device, using a value of the program identifier to request a copy of the program associated with the program identifier and receiving, at the first device from a second device via a network in response to the request, an installation file of the program;
- installing, on the first device, the program associated with the program identifier based on the installation file;
- and
- providing, with the one or more computing devices, a message associated with the trigger to the program associated with the program identifier after the program associated with the program identifier is installed on the first device.
