Abstract
A “Data Transfer Tool” extracts, labels and stores user data or information that may be confined within application silos during user interaction with arbitrary apps. The Data Transfer Tool enables sharing of this otherwise siloed data shared across and between authorized apps. The Data Transfer Tool provides a task-centric approach to define and extract structured and semantically meaningful information from source applications by providing multiple semantic models that are individually tailored to particular source apps. The Data Transfer Tool applies an accessibility API or the like of the OS in combination with the semantic model for the source app to scrape user entered or selected data or information from the source app. The Data Transfer Tool enables and creates new user experiences and increases user efficiency when interacting with various apps by making the scraped data or information available to subscribing destination apps approved to receive that data or information.
