Notification Methods for Non-Programmatic Integration Systems

摘要

Methods and systems for retrieving information from an unrelated application that includes receiving automatically, non-programmatically collected application data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the unrelated application; querying a computer-readable storage medium collected application data without user intervention; retrieving identifying data associated with documents stored in the computer-readable storage medium based upon the query; monitoring the collected application data from the mapped location for a change in the collected application data; and upon detecting the change, re-querying the computer-readable storage medium using the changed collected application data and retrieving identifying data associated with the documents based upon the re-query.

1. A processor readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of application integration, the method comprising:
selecting an application plan for an application executing on the computer; identifying, using the application plan, if a display generated by the application contains one or more previously mapped locations within the display; when the display contains at least one previously mapped location based on the application plan, automatically and continuously collecting application data from at least one of the previously mapped locations in the display generated by the application; using the collected application data, querying a computer-readable storage medium for one or more documents without user intervention; retrieving identifying data associated with the one or more documents based upon the query; monitoring the collected application data from the mapped location for a change in the collected application data; upon detecting the change, re-querying the computer-readable storage medium using the changed collected application data and retrieving identifying data associated with the one or more documents having properties matching the changed collected application data; and displaying the one or more documents having properties matching the changed collected application data, wherein the mapped location is a spatial location of information in the display generated by the application.
