SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IN-CONTEXT APPLICATIONS

摘要

In a method and system for providing in-context applications, a context is selected by a user. Context-specific metadata is retrieved from a context data structure. At least one application identified in the context data structure is loaded for the context. A user interface that includes at least one selectable user interface element is rendered for the context. The selectable user interface element is used to select the at least one loaded application. Based on a determination that a selectable user interface element has been selected, the context-specific metadata is passed to the selected application for use in retrieving context-related data. The context-related data is received via the application.
