  • Patent number: 9594477
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for interactive state restoring are described. A browser loads a web page using a uniform resource locator (URL). The web page includes interactive elements. The web page is in a default state when loaded by the browser in a first instance and is in an interactive state when any one of the interactive elements is changed. An interactive state restoring tool executing in connection with the browser monitors URLs being loaded by the browser and identifies a data object appended to an end of a first URL for the web page with interactive elements. The interactive state restoring tool extracts the data object from the URL and restores the web page in the interactive state using the data object extracted from the URL when the web page is loaded by the browser. The interactive state restoring tool can execute a state-restoring JavaScript method for consumption of an enhanced deep link.
