Samsung patents system for apps to trigger actions in other apps via cloud
This filing describes a method where an electronic device runs an app in the cloud based on a request from another device. While that app is running, it can detect a command meant for a second app and forward it if it matches a specific link type.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device includes a communication circuit configured to receive and transmit a signal, memory, including one or more storage media, storing one or more computer programs and at least one application, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuit and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to, based on a request for a cloud service associated with a first application received from an external device through the communication circuit, execute the first application corresponding to the request for the cloud service among the at least one application, while executing the first application, recognize a request for an action associated with a second application from the first application, and based on a determination that target information included in the request for the action corresponds to target information related to a pre-designated deep link, transmit the request for the action to the external device.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device, comprising: a communication circuit configured to receive and transmit a signal; memory, including one or more storage media, storing one or more computer programs and at least one application; and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuit and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: based on a request for a cloud service associated with a first application received from an external device through the communication circuit, execute the first application corresponding to the request for the cloud service among the at least one application, while executing the first application, recognize a request for an action associated with a second application from the first application, and based on a determination that target information included in the request for the action corresponds to target information related to a pre-designated deep link, transmit the request for the action to the external device.
