摘要:
A method of handling Internet links includes providing a link associated with a uniform resource locator (“URL”) including a scheme name that references an application, and a handler-directive that references a functionality to be performed by the application. The link can be provided in an internet browser on a display screen of an electronic device. The method further includes launching the application referenced by the URL in response to a user selecting the URL. The launched application includes a URL handler, which receives the URL and breaks up the URL to separate the handler-directive. The method further includes determining whether the handler-directive is supported in the URL handler. The functionality referenced by the handler-directive is then performed by the application.
