`
`background in responseto user selection of the link, Pasha et al. teach downloadinglink referencing a
`
`downloadable application and selection of the link for installing an application without leaving the
`
`application, Sogani et al. teach selectable link for installing an application, Shapira et al., Pasha et al.,
`
`Sogani et al. and other cited references, taken alone or in combination, do not teach the specific
`
`combination of:
`
`in responseto said identifying, determine whether an installation client for
`
`downloading and installing applications on said device is available on said device, said installation client
`
`comprising a third software application; when said installation client is available on said device: invoke,
`
`without exiting said second softwareapplication, said installation client for downloading and installing
`
`applications on said device to run in the background on said device; instruct said installation client to
`
`automatically download an installation file of said first software application to said device over said
`
`networkusing said network interface in the background on said device, without directing said user
`
`interaction to an app store; and using said downloadedinstallation file, install said first software
`
`application on said device in the background on said device while maintaining a user experience of
`
`interaction with said second software application in the foreground; and when said installation client is

`
`advertisementis not directed to a URL of a app store but to another URL not tied to the store that has
`
`an offer to download mobile device software as well, the URL would be accessed by the browser to
`
`display details of the mobile device software offered to let a user decide whether to download the
`
`mobile device software. If the user decides to download the mobile device software, it would be
`
`downloaded and installed through the platform and a shortcut executable icon i.e. desktop shortcutis
`
`created for the mobile device software (see at least [0225]), Boudville (US 20160359945,cited) teach a
