First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for range programming using a search query, comprising:
- determining whether the search query comprises a range operation;
identifying a target application to launch using a search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query;
identifying a range of results to process with the target application using the search application and based on the search query; and
separately displaying the results within the range in the context of the target application.

Abstract
Systems and methods for range programming using a search query are disclosed. A method for range programming using a search query includes determining whether the search query comprises a range operation and identifying a target application to launch using a search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query. A range of results to process with the target application can be identified using the search application and based on the search query. The results can be separately within the range in the context of the target application.

-
determining whether the search query comprises a range operation; identifying a target application to launch using a search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query; identifying a range of results to process with the target application using the search application and based on the search query; and separately displaying the results within the range in the context of the target application. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A system for contextually launching a range operation for a target application, comprising:
-
a search client for receiving a user search query including a range operation; a search server for performing a search of the target application for a range of data requested in the range operation based on the user search query; an application launcher for launching at least one of the plurality of target applications within the context of the user search query based on a result of the search; and a range operation module configured to determine whether the user search query comprises the range operation and further configured to cause the search server to perform the search for the range of data when the search query comprises the range operation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for implementing range operations in a consolidated enterprise support system having a plurality of target applications, wherein at least one of the plurality of target applications does not natively support range operations, the method comprising:
-
receiving a search query from a user at a search server, the search query comprising at least one of a desired action and a desired object; determining whether the search query comprises a range operation requesting a range of elements; canceling an active range operation when the active range operation exists; identifying range elements from the search query; receiving user input designating which of the plurality of target applications to launch for the at least one of a desired action and a desired object; determining whether to perform assisted range programming for the designated target application based on whether the designated target application natively supports range programming; interpreting the search query for the designated target application when the designated target application natively supports range operations; launching the designated target application sequentially in context of each of the range elements when the designated target application does not natively support range operations; and receiving results of the search query from the designated target application. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
