Abstract:
A first messaging app, in one embodiment receives text and detects that the text includes a URL that refers to audio or audiovisual media content in a catalog of media content, and the messaging app obtains metadata about the media content and transmits the metadata to a second messaging app. Both the first and the second messaging app can operate, through interprocess communication, with its own music extension app that displays a user interface within a view hosted by the respective messaging app.
Abstract:
In various embodiments described herein, a content extension and programming interface enable third-party content extensions to supply transformation and filtering actions and associated criteria to native web clients on a system. In one embodiment, the native web client loads data for a third-party content filtering, blocking, or transformation extension and conducts extension defined actions without requiring additional intermediation by the third-party content. In one embodiment, a third-party application downloaded to a mobile or handheld device can include an extension data object that provides actions and triggers that are loaded by a native web client of the system. The third-party application is not required to execute continuously and can exit or be terminated once the web client retrieves the extension data object.
Abstract:
A host application executing on a client device includes a content processing extension that extends its functionality to process content items to a requesting host application executing on a client device. The content processing extension is an executable file that includes data conversion code and application code. The data conversion code, when executed in requesting host application, identifies content items provided by the requesting host application and formats the identified content items to be received by the content processing extension. The application code is native code executable by the host application associated with the content processing extension. The application code processes the results from execution of the data conversion and the identified content items in accordance with one or more functions of the host application, and returns the processed content items to the requesting host application via the content processing extension.
Abstract:
An electronic device displays a content region including first content that contains an image; and, while displaying the first content, detects an input at a location that corresponds to the location of the image. In response, the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the input includes an intensity above a respective threshold and that the image is associated with a link to second content that is different from the first content, displays a preview of the second content while maintaining display of at least a portion of the first content in the content region; and, in accordance with a determination that the input includes an intensity above the respective threshold and that the image is not associated with a link to additional content, displays an enlarged version of the image while maintaining display of at least a portion of the first content in the content region.
Abstract:
The method for managing a plurality of windows of a browser application on an electronic device includes assigning a priority level to each process, including the browser application, running on the device, and distributing computing resources based on priority level. In response to receiving an action to open a window, the browser application starts the execution of a process for opening the window, associates the process with the window, and assigns a priority level to the process associated with the window. The browser application then monitors an activity level of each process associated with its windows. If the activity level decreases, the browser application assigns the process with the decreased activity level to a lower priority level. If requested computing resources exceed a maximum threshold, a process is selected from the lowest priority level processes, and the selected process is suspended.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, in response to an inquiry received from a first application for an extension service associated with a first of a plurality of extension points of an operating system, a list of one or more extensions is identified that have been registered for the first extension point with the operating system, where the first application is executed within a first sandboxed environment. The identified list of extensions is displayed to prompt a user to select one of the extensions to be associated with the first application. In response to a selection of one of the extensions, the selected extension is launched in a second sandboxed environment. The selected extension and the second application were packaged in an application bundle, and when the application bundle was installed, the selected extension and the second application appeared in a registry of the operating system as separate applications.
