Context sensitive framework for providing data from relevant applications
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing a set of instructions, which upon execution by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
sending, to a network-based contextual service, first data that includes context data identifying at least a current context of a user'"'"'s use of a computer;
receiving, from the network-based contextual service, second data identifying a plurality of applications determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, the plurality of applications comprising a first application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context and a second application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context;
obtaining, from the first application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, third data;
obtaining, from the second application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, fourth data; and
providing at least a portion of the third data combined with at least a portion of the fourth data within a first section of a user interface.

Abstract
Functionality is disclosed herein for using a context sensitive framework to identify relevant applications to a current context and to provide data received from the relevant applications to a user. Instead of a user having to manually locate and launch an application, relevant applications determined by a contextual service may provide data in response to receiving the context data. The applications that are identified as relevant to the context determine the application data to provide to the contextual service. The contextual service selects at least a portion of the application data to provide for display within a user interface. In some configurations, the selected application data is displayed within a user interface that maintains a same look and feel regardless of the application data that is displayed.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, which upon being performed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
sending, to a network-based contextual service, first data that includes context data identifying at least a current context of a user'"'"'s use of a computer; receiving, from the network-based contextual service, second data identifying a plurality of applications determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, the plurality of applications comprising a first application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context and a second application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context; obtaining, from the first application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, third data; obtaining, from the second application that is determined by the network-based contextual service to be relevant to the current context, fourth data; and providing at least a portion of the third data combined with at least a portion of the fourth data within a first section of a user interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
