Providing a configurable menu of hierarchical menu items

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• extract menu information associated with a first application,
• the menu information identifying a plurality of hierarchical menu items corresponding to at least two levels of a menu hierarchy associated with a first menu of the first application;
• receive configuration information that controls a manner in which the plurality of hierarchical menu items are to be provided for display,
• the configuration information indicating that the plurality of hierarchical menu items are to be provided for display when the first application is being executed;
• execute the first application to cause first information, associated with the first application, to be provided for display;
• execute a second application that provides the plurality of hierarchical menu items for display,
• the second application being different from the first application;
• determine that the first application is being executed;
• and
• provide the plurality of hierarchical menu items for display concurrently, via a second menu overlaid on the first information associated with the first application, based on the configuration information and further based on determining that the first application is being executed.

A method, comprising:

• executing, by a device, a first application to cause application information, associated with the first application, to be provided for display on the device;
• executing, by the device, a second application that provides menu information, associated with the first application, for display on the device,
• the second application being different from the first application;
• extracting, by the device and based on executing the second application, the menu information from stored information associated with the first application,
• the menu information identifying a plurality of hierarchical menu items associated with at least two different levels of a menu hierarchy identified in the stored information associated with the first application;
• receiving, by the device, configuration information that controls a manner in which a subset of hierarchical menu items, included in the plurality of hierarchical menu items, are provided for display on the device,
• the configuration information indicating that the subset of hierarchical menu items are to be provided for display when the application information, associated with the first application, is being provided for display,
• the configuration information indicating that the subset of hierarchical menu items are not to be provided for display when other application information, associated with a third application, is being provided for display,
• the third application being different from the first application and the second application;
• determining, by the device, that the application information, associated with the first application, is being provided for display;
• and
• providing, by the device, the subset of hierarchical menu items for display based on the configuration information and based on determining that the application information, associated with the first application, is being provided for display,
• the subset of hierarchical menu items being provided for display via a menu overlaid on the application information associated with the first application.
