Abstract
A method for providing, to a first application executed by a first operating system, an interface for communicating with at least one application executed by a second operating system includes providing, by a first interface object executed by the first operating system, a mechanism for external communication with a first application executed by the first operating system. A second interface object executed by the second operating system provides a mechanism for external communication with a window handler executed by the second operating system. The first interface object receives an identification of a window displayed by the first operating system and generated by a second application executed by the second operating system and requests, from the second interface object, analysis of the identified window. The first interface object receives, from the second interface object, an identification of contact information displayed by the window resulting from the analysis by the window handler.
