  • Patent number: 11017447
    Abstract: A system is configured to receive a network resource request from a user device configured with a browsing application, wherein the request includes identification data associated with the user device. The system transmits, to a network resource provider, a request for the network resource, wherein the request transmitted to the network resource provider excludes identification data included in the request received from the user device. The system receives from the network resource provider a response, including a document comprising a field configured to receive payment information for an item purchase. The system receives from the browsing application an indication that an anonymous payment instrument, associated with a first entity different than the user, is to be used to purchase a first item at a first price. The system causes information regarding the anonymous payment instrument to be provided to the network resource provider.

  • Patent number: 10348797
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to configuration of multiple browser applications to control the functionality of the browser application as at least some content is accessed are provided. The configuration of a server-based browser application and a client-based browser application can be controlled programmatically such that browser configuration can be validated and controlled by at least some content providers. Additionally, the configuration and subsequent processing of content provided by an authenticating content provider can be implemented in a manner to limit content access functionality.

  • Patent number: 10346523
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for content synchronization across devices. A web page currently being viewed at a first device associated with a user profile of a user can be identified. Browsing information for the page (such as URL, scrolling location, and a DOM element) may be stored in the profile. The DOM element may be associated with page content displayed during a browsing session in a viewport while the web page is at the current scrolling location. The browsing information may be updated dynamically, upon detecting a change in the current scrolling location of the page at the first device. A request for displaying the web page at a second device associated with the user profile may be received. The browsing information for the web page may be provided to the second device, so that the web page with the current scrolling location is displayed at the second device.

  • Patent number: 10298567
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that enables a user to access a first piece of content on a first computing device while accessing a related, but different piece of content on a second computing device. In some cases, the different piece of content is a portion of the first piece of content. In some embodiments, the system can automatically identify complementary content and can automatically cause the second computing device to access the complementary content without the user interacting with the second computing device. In some cases, the system may reformat the complementary content for presentation to the user based on characteristics of the second computing device.

  • Publication number: 20180196827
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-accessible storage media for controlling export of snapshots to external networks in service provider environments. Methods are described that may be used to prevent customers of a service provider from downloading snapshots of volumes, such as boot images created by the service provider or provided by third parties, to which the customer does not have the appropriate rights. A request may be received from a user to access one or more snapshots, for example a request to export the snapshot or a request for a listing of snapshots. For each snapshot, the service provider may determine if the user has rights to the snapshot, for example by checking a manifest for the snapshot to see if entries in the snapshot manifest belong to an account other than the customer's. If the user has rights to the snapshot, the request is granted; otherwise, the request is not granted.

  • Patent number: 10013166
    Abstract: A virtual tape library system is used to back up data from a client archive system expecting physical tape operations onto logical data containers and/or a metadata store of a storage service by emulating the physical tape operations. For example, a virtual tape library appliance is installed at a customer premise location to interface with a client archive system. The virtual tape library appliance provides virtual interfaces to appear as physical tape library subsystems, such as tape drives and media changing interfaces. However, these virtual interfaces are supported by logical data containers in a storage service and a metadata store. The virtual tape library system allows the client archive system to make requests to import new virtual tapes, export virtual tapes for archiving, store virtual tapes at a virtual location, load and eject virtual tapes into a virtual tape drive and operate on virtual tapes in a virtual tape drive.

  • Patent number: 9479519
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for detecting potential problems with web pages. For example, a web page can be analyzed (e.g., during loading of the web page) to determine statistics, such as size and structure statistics. The web page can be compared, using the statistics, to a statistical model representing the web page to determine if the web page is consistent with the statistical model. The statistical model can be created from previous page loads of the web page. Problems such as web page spoofing can be detected if the same web page content (e.g., content with a high degree of statistical similarity) is obtained from two different web sites. For example, a web page that is retrieved from one web site that matches a statistical model representing the same web page from another web site can indicate a spoofed web page.
