Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided, comprising: developing at least a portion of a particular application that is configured to be installed on at least one device including an operating system, a web browser, and another application; developing a web page that includes a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) link; causing the web page that includes the HTTP link to be hosted by at least one server in connection with a web site; causing to be stored, in connection with the particular application, first information identifying at least one aspect of the web site; causing to be stored, at the at least one server, second information identifying the particular application; via at least one network, receiving, at the at least one server and from the at least one device, a first request initiated via the web browser of the at least one device; and in response to the first request, serving, to the at least one device via the at least one network, the web page that includes the HTTP link such that, in response to a selection of the HTTP link via the web browser of the at least one device, the HTTP link causes the operating system to: based on a first result of an analysis involving the first information and the second information, open the HTTP link utilizing the particular application of the at least one device, and based on a second result of the analysis involving the first information and the second information, open the HTTP link utilizing the web browser of the at least one device; wherein the HTTP link is opened utilizing the particular application of the at least one device in response to the selection of the HTTP link via web browser of the at least one device, without any user input in connection with the HTTP link other than the selection of the HTTP link via the web browser of the at least one device.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:

store, in connection with an application, first information identifying at least one aspect of a web site, where the web site includes a hypertext markup language (HTML) document having an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) link associated therewith;
utilizing a web browser interface of a web browser, detect a selection of the HTTP link;
in response to the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser, send, from the apparatus via at least one network to at least one server that stores the web site and second information identifying the application, a request to access the HTML document;
after sending, from the apparatus via the at least one network to the at least one server that stores the web site and the second information identifying the application, the request to access the HTML document:
receive the HTML document;
perform an analysis involving the first information and the second information, the analysis involving a security criterion, such that a first result of the analysis is indicative of the security criterion being met, and a second result of the analysis is indicative of the security criterion not being met;
based on the second result of the analysis involving the first information and the second information, present the HTML document utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser;
and
based on the first result of the analysis involving the first information and the second information, present the HTML document utilizing an application interface of the application, such that the HTML document is presented utilizing the application interface of the application, in response to the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser, without detecting any user input in connection with the HTTP link other than the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser.

A method, comprising:

at a non-transitory computer readable medium:
storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
store, in connection with an application, first information identifying at least one aspect of a web site, where the web site includes a hypertext markup language (HTML) document having an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) link associated therewith,
utilizing a web browser interface of a web browser, detect a selection of the HTTP link,
based on the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser, send, from the apparatus via at least one network to at least one server that stores the web site and second information identifying the application, a request to access the HTML document,
based on sending, from the apparatus via the at least one network to the at least one server that stores the web site and the second information identifying the application, the request to access the HTML document:
receive the HTML document,
perform an analysis involving the first information and the second information, the analysis involving a security criterion, such that a first result of the analysis is indicative of the security criterion being met, and a second result of the analysis is indicative of the security criterion not being met,
based on the second result of the analysis involving the first information and the second information, present the HTML document utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser, and
based on the first result of the analysis involving the first information and the second information, present the HTML document utilizing an application interface of the application, such that the HTML document is presented utilizing the application interface of the application, based on the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser, without detecting any user input in connection with the HTTP link other than the detection of the selection of the HTTP link utilizing the web browser interface of the web browser;
and
making the instructions available for implementation on the apparatus.
