INSTANT INSTALLATION OF APPS

Abstract:

A device adapted to run software applications includes a network interface, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and at least one processor. The network interface enables device communication over a network. At least one processor executes instructions stored in the storage medium to: identify that a link for installation of a new software application is selected by user interaction with a current software application running on the device; in response to identifying that the link was selected, invoke, without exiting the second software application, an installation client to run in the background on the device; instruct the installation client to automatically download an installation file of the new software application over the network using the network interface; and using the downloaded installation file, install the first software application on the device.
