Patent ID: 10642629

Abstract:
A web-application-launch application programming interface (API) component is disclosed for integration to a web application executable at a client. The web-application-launch API component comprises a launch services module to manage execution of a launch of a web application external to the web application. Execution of the launch of the external web application is called by a component of the web application. The web-application-launch API component further comprises an API specifying a launch-definition format applicable to a launch to be executed by a launch services module. A launch definition according to the specified launch-definition format includes a launch argument comprising a list of keywords. The launch services module comprises a keyword-resolution module. The keyword-resolution module of the launch services module is responsive to a call for execution of a launch to resolve, dynamically, the keywords of the launch argument in the launch definition of the called launch. The launch services module comprises an execution portion to implement execution of a called launch. The launch is executed at the client in accordance with the keywords in the launch argument of the called launch as resolved by the keyword-resolution module when execution of the launch is called.
