Generating Search Results Containing State Links to Applications

摘要

A mobile computing device includes a touchscreen, a transceiver, a non-transitory memory, and a computing processor. The memory stores an installed, native first application associated with an operator of a search engine. Upon executing the computer-readable instructions, the processor displays a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the touchscreen via the first application. The processor receives a search query via the first GUI, including one or more search terms. The processor transmits the search query to the search engine via the transceiver. The processor receives search results from the search engine in response to transmitting the search query to the search engine. At least one of the search results includes a post-execution view of a second native application. The processor displays the post-execution view on the touchscreen. The post-execution view includes a second GUI that provides access to a function associated with the second native application.

主权项

1. A mobile computing device comprising:
a touchscreen display; a transceiver; a non-transitory memory that stores a first native application that is installed at the mobile computing device, wherein the first native application is associated with a search engine operator; and a computing processor that executes computer readable instructions that cause the computing processor to:
display a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the touchscreen display via the first native application, wherein the first GUI is configured to accept search queries;receive a search query via the first GUI, wherein the search query comprises one or more search terms;transmit the search query to the search engine via the transceiver;receive search results from the search engine in response to transmitting the search query to the search engine, wherein at least one of the search results comprises a post execution view of a second native application; anddisplay the post execution view on the touchscreen display, wherein the post execution view comprises a second GUI that provides access to a function associated with the second native application.
