TASK COMPLETION THROUGH INTER-APPLICATION COMMUNICATION

摘要

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems for facilitating task completion through inter-application communication and/or for registering a target application for contextually aware task execution are provided. That is, a current application may display content comprising an entity (e.g., a mapping application may display a restaurant entity). One or more actions capable of being performed on the entity may be exposed (e.g., a reserve table action). Responsive to selection of an action, one or more target applications capable of performing the action on the entity may be presented. Responsive to selection of a target application, contextual information for the entity and/or the action may be passed to the target application so that the target application may be launched in a contextually relevant state to facilitate completion of a task. For example, a dinning application may be launched to a table reservation form for the restaurant entity.

1. A system for facilitating task completion through inter-application communication, comprising:
a task execution component configured to:
identify an entity comprised within content of a current application;expose an action capable of being performed on the entity;responsive to a selection of the action:
determine a user intent to accomplish a task based upon an entity context associated with the entity and an action context associated with the action; andpresent a target application capable of performing the action on the entity; andresponsive to selection of the target application:
pass the entity context and the action context to the target application so that the target application is launched according to the entity context and the action context to facilitate completion of the task.
