EMBEDDED USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211219 titled 'EMBEDDED USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer system that renders components of a webpage using a platform that loads a script element to create an inline frame element. This inline frame element receives a secret token for authentication and generates an API key to authenticate API requests to a server. The system then receives data from a third-party resource via the inline frame element and renders embedded UI elements in a shadow document object model.

Platform loads script element to create inline frame element
Secret token used for authentication

What are the potential challenges in integrating third-party resources via the inline frame element?

Integrating third-party resources may pose challenges related to data compatibility, security risks, and performance optimization.

Original Abstract Submitted

in some embodiments, a computer system receives a request to render components of a webpage. in some embodiments, in response to receiving the request, a platform of the webpage loads a script element that creates an inline frame element and receives a secret token. in some embodiments, the computer system authenticates an embedded session within the platform using the secret token and generates an api key, wherein the api key is used by the inline frame element to authenticate api requests to an api server. in some embodiments, the computer system receives, via the inline frame element, data corresponding to the one or more embedded ui elements from a resource associated with a third-party entity, wherein the inline frame element is a proxy between the platform and the api server. in some embodiments, the computer system renders the one or more embedded ui elements in a shadow document object model.
