TAMPER-PROOF INTERACTION DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054173 titled 'TAMPER-PROOF INTERACTION DATA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatus for validating interactions with false rendered elements on a client device.

• Receiving a rendering notification and a declaration of a rendered element in an active window on a client device
• Detecting interaction with the rendered element at the client device
• Determining if the interaction occurred at the declared location of the rendered element within the active window
• Processing the interaction by capturing a screenshot of the active window, verifying the visual appearance of the rendered element in the screenshot with the declared appearance, and generating an interaction attestation if the interaction is validated

Potential applications of this technology:

• Enhancing security measures in online transactions and interactions
• Preventing fraudulent activities on websites and applications

Problems solved by this technology:

• Verifying the authenticity of interactions with rendered elements on client devices
• Preventing unauthorized access and manipulation of user interfaces

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved security and trust in online interactions
• Enhanced user experience by ensuring the integrity of rendered elements on client devices

Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for validating interactions with false rendered elements. in one aspect, a method includes receiving a rendering notification and a declaration of a rendered element defined in an active window on a client device, detecting interaction with the rendered element at the client device, determining whether the interaction occurred at a declared location of the rendered element within the active window, and processing the interaction including: in response to determining that the interaction occurred: capturing a screenshot of the active window on the client device; verifying a visual appearance of the rendered element in the screenshot with a declared appearance of the rendered element, and generating an interaction attestation, thereby validating the interaction. in response to determining that the interaction did not occur, refraining from generating the interaction attestation.
