System and Apparatus for Providing, via Conventional Web Browsing, Browsing Capability for Search Engine Web Crawlers Between Remote/Virtual Windows and From Remote/Virtual Windows to Conventional Hypertext Documents

摘要

A system and apparatus is described for directing a search engine web crawler's web view to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within a remote desktop, remote application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. Links can be modified so as to be recognizable by the remote machine as unique from traditional hyperlinks. Upon navigation action on such a link, by the search engine web crawler that is viewing the remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, the system parses, by a link parsing routine executed by a processor, navigation data from the pop-out link, sends, by a processor, the pop-out link navigation data to a Remoting Engine that is providing the remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, sends, by a processor, over a network, a navigation command to the remoting engine client running on the search engine web crawler web view, and reloads, by a processor, a search engine web crawler web view's top level container with content provided at the pop-out link's destination URL or URI.
