REMOTE TRIGGER COMMAND TO RECALL COMPLEX NAVIGATION

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, a trigger initiation command for configuring a trigger command;

receiving, by the computing device, the trigger command from a trigger device that is separate from the computing device, the trigger command based on a selection of a trigger command input on the trigger device;

determining, by the computing device, a state of a complex navigation, the complex navigation requiring multiple actions to output content associated with the state;

storing, by the computing device, an association between the state of the complex navigation and the trigger command;

receiving, by the computing device, the trigger command from the trigger device, the trigger command being sent based on a single input selecting the trigger command input; and

recalling, by the computing device, the state of the complex navigation to output the content.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger command is sent via a wireless communication from the trigger device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the single input comprises a selection of the trigger command input on the trigger device that does not require opening any applications on the trigger device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving input regarding the state of the complex navigation;

determining information that can be used to automatically recall the state of the complex navigation to output the content; and

associating the information with the trigger command.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

outputting a menu with options to select the state of the complex navigation; and

receiving a selection of state to save for the complex navigation through the menu.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the content comprises multiple instances of content, and

the multiple instances of content are recalled and output based on receiving the trigger command.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein multiple applications are opened to recall and output the multiple instances of content.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein recalling comprises performing a plurality of actions to recall and output the content.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the complex navigation is performed on the computing device before receiving the trigger command.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the state for the complex navigation from another computing device in which the complex navigation was performed; and

associating the received state with the trigger command.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of the complex navigation is recalled to output the content based on the trigger command input without a user having to perform any other action associated with the trigger device or the computing device.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger command input comprises a physical input or a virtual input.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed, control a computer system to be configured for:

receiving a trigger initiation command for configuring a trigger command;

receiving the trigger command from a trigger device separate from the computing device, the trigger command based on a selection of a trigger command input on the trigger device;

determining a state of a complex navigation, the complex navigation requiring multiple actions to output content associated with the state;

storing an association between the state of the complex navigation and the trigger command;

receiving the trigger command from the trigger device, the trigger command being sent based on a single input selecting the trigger command input; and

recalling the state of the complex navigation to output the content.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the trigger command is sent via a wireless communication from the trigger device.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the single input comprises a selection of the trigger command input on the trigger device that does not require opening any applications on the trigger device.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving input regarding the state of the complex navigation;

determining information that can be used to automatically recall the state of the complex navigation to output the content; and

associating the information with the trigger command.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

the content comprises multiple instances of content, and

the multiple instances of content are recalled and output based on receiving the trigger command.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein multiple applications are opened to recall and output the multiple instances of content.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein recalling comprises performing a plurality of actions to recall and output the content.

20 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, a first input for a trigger initiation command for configuring a trigger command;

sending, by the computing device, the trigger initiation command to a secondary device;

receiving, by the computing device, a second input for the trigger command, the trigger command based on a selection of a trigger command input;

sending, by the computing device, the trigger command to the secondary device, wherein the secondary device saves a state of a complex navigation requiring multiple actions to output content associated with the state and the secondary device associates the state with the trigger command;

receiving, by the computing device, a third input for the trigger command, the trigger command based on a single input selecting the trigger command input; and

sending, by the computing device, the trigger command to the secondary device, wherein the secondary device recalls the state of the complex navigation to output the content based on the receiving of the trigger command.
