Abstract

A system and method for standardizing commands used for various application behaviors in an application regardless of the environment of the application. A client intercepts a user input standard command, retrieves a corresponding native command from a standardizing server and inputs the native command in the application.

Claims

1. A method for identifying functions supported by websites, comprising:

identifying, using a hardware processor, an add-on functionality supported by a website based on i) identifying information corresponding to the website and ii) an identity of a browser application on which the website is presented on a client device;

transmitting, using a hardware processor, to the client device, an indication of the identified add-on functionality; and

causing, using a hardware processor, a user interface that indicates the identified add-on functionality to be presented by the browser application on the client device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface includes a description of the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes a script that causes the add-on functionality to be performed when the script is executed to be downloaded by the client device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface indicates a plugin associated with the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes the plugin to be downloaded and installed on the client device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the add-on functionality supported by the website comprises querying a database using a hashed value associated with the identifying information of the website.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, at a first time point, information relating to the add-on functionality from a second client device, wherein the add-on functionality is identified for the client device at a second time point that is after the first time point.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the received information relating to the add-on functionality includes a script for performing the add-on functionality and an indicator of a plugin used by the script.

7. A system for identifying functions supported by websites, the system comprising:

a hardware processor that is programmed to;

identify an add-on functionality supported by a website based on i) identifying information corresponding to the website and ii) an identity of a browser application on which the website is presented on a client device;

transmit, to the client device, an indication of the identified add-on functionality; and

cause a user interface that indicates the identified add-on functionality to be presented by the browser application on the client device.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the user interface includes a description of the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes a script that causes the add-on functionality to be performed when the script is executed to be downloaded by the client device.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the user interface indicates a plugin associated with the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes the plugin to be downloaded and installed on the client device.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein identifying the add-on functionality supported by the website comprises querying a database using a hashed value associated with the identifying information of the website.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to receive, at a first time point, information relating to the add-on functionality from a second client device, wherein the add-on functionality is identified for the client device at a second time point that is after the first time point.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the received information relating to the add-on functionality includes a script for performing the add-on functionality and an indicator of a plugin used by the script.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for identifying functions supported by websites, the method comprising:

identifying an add-on functionality supported by a website based on i) identifying information corresponding to the website and ii) an identity of a browser application on which the website is presented on a client device;

transmitting, to the client device, an indication of the identified add-on functionality; and

causing a user interface that indicates the identified add-on functionality to be presented by the browser application on the client device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the user interface includes a description of the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes a script that causes the add-on functionality to be performed when the script is executed to be downloaded by the client device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the user interface indicates a plugin associated with the identified add-on functionality and a selectable element that, when selected, causes the plugin to be downloaded and installed on the client device.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein identifying the add-on functionality supported by the website comprises querying a database using a hashed value associated with the identifying information of the website.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises receiving, at a first time point, information relating to the add-on functionality from a second client device, wherein the add-on functionality is identified for the client device at a second time point that is after the first time point.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the received information relating to the add-on functionality includes a script for performing the add-on functionality and an indicator of a plugin used by the script.
