Method and apparatus for launching a web site with non-standard control input device

摘要

A method for launching a web browser application on a user's computer. A browser application is provided on the user's computer that is launchable in response to predetermined browser inputs being received by the user's computer. A non-browser input is provided that is not a portion of the set of predetermined browser inputs. This non-browser is correlated to the input to simulate one or more of the predetermined browser inputs as a simulated browser input. The web browser is then launched on the user's computer with this simulated browser input to access information on a network.
