Abstract
Automated discovery of related mobile applications across operating systems
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface to transmit and receive data over a network;
- and
- an analysis engine, coupled with the communication interface, to:
- transmit, via the communication interface, a list of a plurality of uniform resource identifier (URI) schemes to a discovery engine of a mobile device;
- receive, from the discovery engine, in response to transmission of the list, an indication of a subset of the plurality of URI schemes that are supported by the mobile device;
- and
- correlate individual URI schemes of the subset of the plurality of URI schemes with one or more associated native applications to identify native applications installed on the mobile device to automatically profile the mobile device.
4 more elements
One or more computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by a mobile device, provide the mobile device with a discovery engine to:
- request, from a domain name service (DNS) server, on behalf of a user, an address record for each domain name of a plurality of domain names to create an address record set;
- and
- generate, based on the address record set, a unique identifier to associate with the user for subsequent use to automatically profile the user or a mobile device of the user.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a server, a list of a plurality of uniform resource identifier (URI) schemes to a mobile device;
- receiving, by the server, an indication of a subset of the plurality of URI schemes that are supported by the mobile device, in response to transmission of the list;
- and
- identifying native applications installed on the mobile device to automatically profile the mobile device by correlating individual URI schemes of the subset of the plurality of URI schemes with one or more associated native applications.
