ABSTRACT:
Described is a system and method for passing context-sensitive information from a first application to another application on a mobile device (e.g., a cellular telephone). The method includes initiating the processing of a first application, such as receiving a cellular phone call that initiates a phone application residing on the mobile device. The first application provides a selection mechanism to allow a user to select a target application while continuing processing within the first application. The selection mechanism may include a smart link that appears as text on the display. In one embodiment, the text may have an abbreviated name for the target application. In addition, the text for the smart link may change based on the application type of the first application or based on the context of the first application. For example, if the first application is a phone application on a mobile device, the smart links may display text for a note application, a task application, a contact application, a calendar application, and a billing application.
