  • Method and system for communication between application and web-page embedded code
    Patent number: 9059964
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates communication between an embedded code in a web page and a stand-alone application. During operation, the system first embeds a code within a web page that is displayed in a browser. Next, the embedded code receives information indicating a communication method provided by a stand-alone application, via a first communication channel. The embedded code subsequently sends the contextual information associated with a user browser session by calling the communication method, via a second communication channel, thereby allowing the stand-alone application to inherit the contextual information from the web browser.
