Patent attributes
The description relates to systems and methods for extending applications. For example, a voice assistant application can be the application to be extended. In an example, a mobile banking application can be the application that provides the extension. For example, a voice assistant might not have capability to conduct fingerprint (or biometric) authentication and bill payment function. An extension point within the voice assistant application that would enable this kind of capability might not exist. The mobile banking application can have a biometric tool for fingerprint authentication capability and a payment tool for a bill payment or money transfer function. Embodiments described herein can involve a deep link from the voice assistant application to the mobile banking application (which does offer fingerprint authentication and bill payment capability). The navigation to the mobile banking application can generate a visual impression at the UI similar or consistent with the voice assistant application.
