  • Patent number: 11748120
    Abstract: Techniques for server-based UI rendering are described. In an example, a system receives, from a device, a request associated with rendering a UI that includes multiple UI components. The system receives, from a first source associated with a first UI component, availability information indicating that the first UI component is available for use by other UI components. Based at least in part on the availability information, the system determines that the first UI component is available for use by a second UI component. The system receives, from a second source associated with the second UI component, event information indicating content presentable in the first UI component and an event trigger at the second UI component to present the content. Further, the system sends, to the device, a set of instructions associated with the rendering of the UI. The set of instructions includes the event information.
