Abstract

A method and system for integrating computer applications is disclosed. A first data on a screen of a source application is intercepted. A target application is then executed and the first data is populated in one or more data fields on a screen of the target application. Thereafter, a second data on the screen of the target application is intercepted and populated in the one or more data fields on the screen of the source application.

Claims

1. A method for accessing data between a first application and a second application, the method comprising:

intercepting a first data in the first application, wherein the first data is intercepted on the basis of a first predefined criterion;

pushing the first data to one or more data fields in the second application;

intercepting a second data in the second application, wherein the second data is intercepted on the basis of a second predefined criterion; and

pushing the second data to one or more data fields in the first application, wherein the above steps are performed by a processor.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the second application and the first application simultaneously on a display unit.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second data is displayed on the second application.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first predefined criterion corresponds to at least one of a cursor movement on a screen of the first application, selecting a specific area on the screen of the first application, receiving an input in the first application from an input device and location of the first data on the screen of the first application.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second predefined criterion corresponds to a location of the second data on a screen of the second application.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first application is selected from an enterprise application, an office application, a web browsing application, a search engine application and a website.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the second application is selected from an enterprise application, an office application, a web browsing application, a search engine application and a website.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first application is executed on a first platform and the second application is executed on a second platform.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first data is intercepted periodically, and wherein the second application is launched in response to the interception of the first data.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the intercepted first data is pushed to the one or more data fields in the second application.

11. A system for accessing data between a first application and a second application, the system comprising:

a memory comprising one or more program instructions modules, wherein the one or more program instructions module comprise;

a first interception module configured for intercepting a first data in the first application, wherein the first data is intercepted on the basis of a first predefined criterion,

a first data push module configured for pushing the first data to one or more data fields in the second application,

a second interception module configured for intercepting a second data in the second application wherein the second data is intercepted on the basis of a second predefined criterion, and

a second data push module configured for pushing the second data to one or more data fields in the first application; and

a processor operable to execute the one or more program instructions modules.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first data push module is further configured for executing the second application.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the first data push module is further configured for displaying the first application and the second application simultaneously on a display screen.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the second information is displayed on the second application.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the first predefined criterion corresponds to at least one of a cursor movement on a screen of the first application, selecting a specific area on the screen of the first application, receiving an input in the first application from an input device and location of the first data on the screen of the first application.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the second predefined criterion corresponds to a location of the second data on a screen of the second application.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the first data push module is further configured to identify the one or more data fields in the second application on the basis of a first set of screen identifiers.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the second data push module is further configured to identify the one or more data fields in the first application on the basis of a second set of screen identifiers.

19. A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer-readable program code for accessing data between a first application and a second application, the computer-readable program code comprising:

program instructions for intercepting a first data in the first application, wherein the first data is intercepted on the basis of a first predefined criterion;

program instructions for pushing the first data to one or more data fields in the second application;

program instructions for intercepting a second data in the second application wherein the second data is intercepted on the basis of a second predefined criterion; and

program instructions for pushing the second data to one or more data fields in the first application.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 further comprising displaying the second application and the first application simultaneously on a display unit.

21. The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the second data is displayed on the second application.

22. The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the first application is executed on a first platform and the second application is executed on a second platform.
