Unified web and application framework

A system comprising:

• a display screen;
• one or more processors in communication with the display screen, the one or more processors being configured to:
• receive an indication of first user input requesting retrieval of content associated with a first universal resource identifier (URI) while operating a first application;
• retrieve, based on the first URI, metadata including a second URI specifying a second application that corresponds to a particular type of device associated with the one or more processors;
• receive a second user input in response to a notification to download the second application, wherein the notification indicates an option to download the second application to the particular type of device, and the second user input indicates an acceptance of the option;
• in response to receiving the second user input, download the second application specified by the second URI;
• and
• after downloading the second application, provide for display the content associated with the first URI in the second application.

A system comprising:

• a memory configured to store data and one or more applications;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
• receive, from a first application of a remote device, a request for a web page;
• determine a type of the remote device based on information in the request for the web page;
• provide a notification to the remote device to download a second application that corresponds to the determined type of the remote device, wherein the notification indicates the type of the remote device and an option to download the second application to the remote device and, and the response to the notification indicates an acceptance of the option;
• and
• upon receiving a response to the notification, host the web page, the web page including metadata accessible by the remote device, the metadata including a universal resource identifier (URI) specifying the second application, wherein the second application is configured to display content from one or more web pages hosted by the system on the remote device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors operating a first application, an indication of first user input requesting retrieval of content associated with a first universal resource identifier (URI);
• retrieving, by the one or more processors, based on the first URI, metadata including a second URI specifying a second application that corresponds to a particular type of device associated with the one or more processors;
• receiving, by the one or more processors in response to a notification to download the second application, a second user input;
• in response to receiving the second user input, downloading, by the one or more processors, the second application specified by the second URI;
• after downloading the second application:
• providing for display, by the one or more processors, the content associated with the first URI in the second application, and
• detecting, by the one or more processors, a user selection of the first URI;
• and
• after detecting the user selection of the first URI, transmitting the first URI to the second application to retrieve the content for display in the second application at a first point in time.

A system comprising:

• a display screen;
• one or more processors in communication with the display screen, the one or more processors being configured to:
• receive an indication of first user input requesting retrieval of content associated with a first universal resource identifier (URI) while operating a first application;
• retrieve, based on the first URI, metadata including a second URI specifying a second application that corresponds to a particular type of device associated with the one or more processors;
• receive a second user input in response to a notification to download the second application;
• in response to receiving the second user input, download the second application specified by the second URI;
• and
• after downloading the second application:
• provide for display the content associated with the first URI in the second application, and
• detect a user selection of the first URI;
• and
• after detecting the user selection of the first URI, transmit the first URI to the second application to retrieve the content for display in the second application at a first point in time.
