Abstract: A method of operating a user device includes, in response to a set of app icons being displayed, monitoring for user interaction with one of the app icons. In response to detecting user interaction with a first app icon corresponding to a first app, the method determines whether the detected user interaction satisfies first criteria. In response to determining that the detected user interaction satisfies the first criteria, the method displays an action list corresponding to the first app. The action list includes a set of action items for user selection. A first item corresponds to a specific state of the first app and is associated with an access mechanism for the specific state of the first app. In response to the user selecting the first item, the method opens the first app to the specific state by actuating the access mechanism.

Abstract: A method of operating an application search system includes storing application records corresponding respectively to applications. The method includes storing, in a privacy record data store, for each application, a global privacy indicator specific to the application and applicable to all users. The method includes, in response to receiving a first search query from a user device, identifying search results responsive to the first search query from the application records. The method includes, for each search result, selectively determining a privacy indicator based on the privacy record data store. The method includes determining a search sensitivity value based on the privacy indicators and declaring the first search query as private based on the search sensitivity value. The method includes transmitting the search results to the user device. The method includes, in response to the first search query being declared as private, transmitting a search privacy indicator to the user device.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a user interface allowing a user to enter search parameters. A query wrapper module generates a query wrapper based on the entered search parameters. A search system communication module transmits the query wrapper to a search system and receives a set of results from the search system. A first result corresponds to a first applet. A results presentation module displays the set of results to the user. An access mechanism module, in response to the user selecting the first result, selectively triggers an applet request to be sent to an applet distribution system. The applet request instructs the applet distribution system to transmit the first applet to the mobile device. The first applet includes native code for execution on an operating system of the mobile device. The first applet from the applet distribution system is executed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include receiving, at a user device, a first user input from a user, the first user input selecting an application icon displayed at the user device. In response to receiving the first user input, the user device launches the native application and sets the native application into the home state. The user device receives a second user input configured to set the native application into a state of the native application other than the home state. In response to receiving the second user input, the user device sets the native application into the other state using the user device. The user device determines that the user frequently sets the native application into the other state, and configures the application icon to, upon being selected, cause the user device to launch the native application and set the native application into the other state.

Abstract: Techniques include, for an application (app) state record including an app access mechanism (AAM) that references a native app and indicates operations for it to perform and app state information (ASI) that describes a state of the app after it performs the operations, determining connections (e.g., links with other resources) associated with the app and generating a quality value indicating quality of the app based on the connections. The techniques further include identifying the record based on a search query and the quality value (e.g., using the value as a boost factor within Lucene® information retrieval software). Additionally, or alternatively, the techniques include generating a result score for the record based on the quality value and selecting the record from among other records based on the score. The techniques also include selecting the AAM from the record and transmitting the AAM to the user device as a search result.

Abstract: Techniques include, for an application (app) record specifying a software app and including an app download address (ADA) for downloading the app, determining connections (e.g., links to and from other resources, such as other apps, APIs, app libraries, and websites) associated with the app and determining terms (e.g., keywords) associated with resources connected with the app by the connections. In some examples, the techniques include receiving a search query from a user device and identifying the record based on (e.g., matches between) the query and the terms. Additionally, or alternatively, the techniques include identifying the record based on the search query, generating a result score for the record based on the terms, and selecting the record from among other records based on the score. The techniques also include selecting the ADA from the record and transmitting the ADA to the user device as search results.
