Abstract
A method for calling up a client program: transmitting a message to a server computer system using an Internet browser, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for communication of the client program with the Internet browser; dynamically generating a URL by the server computer system, wherein the URL calls up the client program according to a URL scheme, wherein the URL contains the at least one parameter; transmitting a website having the URL from the server computer system to the user computer system and displaying the website having the URL in a browser window of the Internet browser for selection by a user; starting the client program on a user computer system and imputing the at least one parameter into the client program on the basis of the selection of URL by the user; and communicating a result.
Claims30
A method for starting a client program via an Internet browser of a user computer system, comprising:
- transmitting a message via the Internet browser to a server computer system, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for communication of the client program with the Internet browser;
- dynamically generating a uniform resource locator (URL) by the server computer system, wherein the URL is configured to start the client program in accordance with a URL scheme, wherein the URL contains the at least one parameter;
- transmitting a website having the URL from the server computer system to the user computer system and displaying the website having the URL in a browser window of the Internet browser for selection by a user;
- responsive to selection of the dynamically generated URL by the user, starting the client program on the user computer system and inputting the at least one parameter into the client program;
- and
- communicating a result of the execution of the client program from the client program to the Internet browser with the aid of the parameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for starting a client program via an Internet browser of a user computer system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a message via the Internet browser to a server computer system, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for communication of the client program with the Internet browser;
- dynamically generating a uniform resource locator (URL) by the server computer system, wherein the URL is configured to start the client program in accordance with a URL scheme, wherein the URL contains the at least one parameter;
- transmitting a website having the URL from the server computer system to the user computer system and displaying the website having the URL in a browser window of the Internet browser for selection by a user;
- responsive to selection of the dynamically generated URL by the user, starting the client program on the user computer system and inputting the at least one parameter into the client program;
- and
- communicating a result of the execution of the client program from the client program to the Internet browser with the aid of the parameter.
A user computer system comprising an operating system and having a hardware processor for executing a client program and an Internet browser in separate process areas, wherein the Internet browser is configured for the transmission of a message to a server computer system, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for the communication of the client program with the Internet browser, and wherein the operating system of the user computer system is adapted such that the client program is started by the hardware processor due to the selection of a uniform resource locator (URL) by a user, and, during this process, at least one parameter is input into the client program, wherein the URL is selected by selection of the URL on a website displayed by the Internet browser, wherein the URL contains the at least one parameter, wherein the client program is configured such that a result of the execution of the client program with the aid of the at least one parameter is communicated from the client program to the Internet browser by the hardware processor of the user computer system.
A server computer system comprising:
- a hardware network interface configured to receive a message from the Internet browser of a user computer system, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for communication of a client program with the Internet browser;
- a hardware processor configured to dynamically generate a uniform resource locator (URL) by the server computer system, wherein the URL is configured to call up the client program in accordance with a URL scheme and the URL contains the at least one parameter, and for generating a website having the URL;
- and
- the hardware network interface configured to transmit the website from the server computer system to the user computer system for selection of the URL by a user.
A method performed by a server computer system, comprising:
- receiving a message from the Internet browser of a user computer system, wherein the message contains at least one parameter for communication of a client program with the Internet browser;
- dynamically generating a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the URL is configured to start the client program in accordance with a URL scheme and the URL contains the at least one parameter, and for generating a website having the URL;
- and
- transmitting the website from the server computer system to the user computer system for selection of the URL by a user.
