CA 2695545

The present invention provides a system and method for providing a social context to software applications. According to one embodiment of the invention, a user of a social network authorizes access by an external software application to information available in the social network. At some time later, the user of the social network uses an application designed by a third-party software developer. The application contacts the social network provider for permission to access the information available in the social network. If access has been authorized, the application incorporates the information from the social network into its interaction with the user, providing a social context to the user's interaction with the application.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé de fourniture d'un contexte social à des applications logicielles. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un utilisateur d'un réseau social autorise une application logicielle externe à accéder à des informations disponibles sur le réseau social. Ultérieurement, l'utilisateur du réseau social utilise une application conçue par un développeur de logiciels tiers. L'application contacte le fournisseur de réseau social pour demander la permission d'accéder aux informations disponibles sur le réseau social. Si l'accès a été autorisé, l'application incorpore les informations du réseau social dans son interaction avec l'utilisateur, fournissant un contexte social à l'interaction de l'utilisateur avec l'application.
