DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
[0023] The embodiments herein provide a method and system (electronic device) for assisting an application active on the electronic device (active application) to enhance the user experience by providing one or more app-helper actions for the active application. One or more app-helper actions include add-on external applications that can assist the active application. These external applications can include independent applications that are not provided to a user within the active application. The method proposed automatically identifies one or more app-helper actions by analyzing context of the active application. The context is analyzed by mining a current page content of the active application along with analysis of history of user usage pattern corresponding to the active application. Thus, analysis enables to identify user intent in context of the active application and enhance user experience by providing the user intended additional applications through app-helper actions. The analysis includes identifying the app-helper actions using an app-assist framework and app-action framework provided by a native platform of the electronic device. For example, an operating platform such as an android platform is the native platform of the electronic device. The method includes, providing a user consent gesture that indicates user consent to access the current page content for identifying and providing one or more app-helper actions. Thus, the method includes providing one or more app-helper actions after detecting the user consent through the user consent gesture performed on the electronic device when an application is currently active on the electronic device.
[0024] One or more app-helper actions identified for the current active application can be displayed to the user on screen of the electronic device. Thus, the method enables diverting back traffic from third party applications to the native applications provided by the native platform. Once the user selects an app-helper action from one or more app-helper action displayed, the method includes executing the selected app-helper action without exiting from the active application. For executing the app-helper action, the method includes automatically providing the current page content corresponding to the active application to the app-helper action selected by the user. Thus, the method proposed provides an easy way to the user to utilize add-on application, where information of the active application is automatically fed to the add-on application selected by the user. Further, since the method includes executing the selected app-helper action without exiting from the active application, both the active application and the selected app-helper action can be simultaneously displayed to the user. For example, the selected app-helper action can be displayed in a cross view for a multitasking user.
[0025] In an embodiment, the electronic device is a mobile phone, a tablet, a personal digital assistant, a laptop, a wearable device or any other electronic device.

The method 200 includes allowing the app assist module 110 to provide the user consent gesture that indicates user consent to access the current page content of the active application for identifying and providing one or more app-helper actions to the user.
[0034] At step 202, the method 200 includes allowing the application assist module 110 to detect the user consent gesture performed on the electronic device corresponding to the active application. For example, the user consent gesture can be pulling of an application handle provided on the electronic device. The application handle is an existing user gesture tool available with edge-type electronic device. However, any new gesture may be defined for indicating the user consent. In an embodiment, if none of the application is active on the electronic device 100 when the user consent gesture (pulling of the application handle) is detected, the method 200 allows the app-assist module to display one or more default applications predefined for the electronic device. However, when the user consent gesture is performed when the application is active, then the identified app-helper actions in context of the active application may be displayed to the user as an overlay on the active application. At step 204, the method 200 includes allowing the application assist module 110 to identify one or more app-helper actions in response to the user consent gesture. The identification of one or more app-helper actions is performed by analyzing context of the active application. Analyzing the context of the active application includes mining the current page content of the active application and analyzing history of the user usage pattern corresponding to the active application by the app-assist framework 112 and the app-action framework 114 provided by the native platform of the electronic device. The app-assist framework 112 and the app-action framework 114 are explained in conjunction with FIG. 3. At step 206, the method 200 includes allowing the application assist module 110 to cause displaying of one or more app-helper actions, so identified for the active application. At step 208, the method 200 includes allowing the application assist module 110 to execute the app-helper action selected from one or more app-helper actions displayed for the active application. Further, the selected app-helper action can be executed without exiting from the active application. The method 200 includes allowing the app-assist module to automatically provide the current page content corresponding to the active application for executing the app-helper action. The relevant required information from the active application can be auto fed to the selected app-helper action as explained in conjunction with use case examples in Figs. 4 through 10. In an embodiment, the selected app-helper action can be displayed in the cross view of the graphical user interface partially overlapping the active application. The various actions in method 200 may be performed in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments, some actions listed in FIG. 2 may be omitted.
[0035] FIG. 3 illustrates functional block diagram depicting the data flow among plurality of modules of the application assist module 110 of the electronic device 100 that provides one or more app-helper actions for the active application, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a view system 304, of the app-assist framework 112 within the application assist module 110, interacts with an active application 302. The view system 304 is basic building block for user interface components. A view of the view system 304 occupies a rectangular area on a screen of the electronic device 100 and can be configured to perform drawing and event handling based on screen reading 316. The view system 304 is assisted with an assist manager 308 of the app-assist framework 112.
