  • Determining relationship data associated with application programs
    Patent number: 8799923
    Abstract: A method for determining relationship data associated with application programs in a messaging system, comprising the steps of: responsive to at least one first message event sending a message from a first application to a first destination and at least one second message event retrieving, by a second application, the message from a second destination, intercepting message data associated with the message; analysing the intercepted message data in accordance with one or more rules in order to find one or more message parameters; and in response to finding the one or more message parameters, identifying the first message event and identifying the second message event, determining a relationship associated with the first application and the second application. An apparatus and computer program element for determining such relationship data are also provided.

  • Computer Method and Apparatus Providing Invocation of Device-Specific Application Through a Generic HTTP Link
    Publication number: 20100229045
    Abstract: A computer method and system processes and handles hypertext-type links by converting client device-independent URLs to respective device-dependent URLs. This enables invocation of device-specific applications through a generic HTTP link. The HTTP link may be embedded in an email, SMS, web-page or similar communication documents or files.
