Patent number: 10901581Abstract: A method and system provides for integrating multiple executable applications, including executing a non-browser application and executing a first application within the browser platform, the browser platform including a microservices layer. The method and system includes executing a bridge between the non-browser application and the first application. The method and system displays the first application in a browser window and encapsulates the non-browser application for display in a non-browser window. The method and system groups these two windows such that any adjustments to the browser window is reflected in the non-browser window, assimilating the non-browser application in a browser window. Using the bridge and microservices layer, hotkey commands are further propagated to the browser application.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: CHARTIQ, INC.Inventors: Daniel Gary Schleifer, Siddharth Gautam Dalal, Bradley Stewart Carter, Terrence Russell Thorsen, Michael Hugh McClung, Ryan Christopher Sharp

Patent number: 10885520Abstract: A device facilitating script deployment through service provider servers includes at least one processor configured to receive, from a service provider, a request to perform a transaction directly with a device secure element on which a credential is provisioned, where the request includes a credential identifier corresponding to the credential. The at least one processor is further configured to identify, based at least in part on the credential identifier, the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to verify that the service provider is authorized to interact directly with the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to instruct, responsive to the verifying, the device secure element to communicate directly with a service provider server to perform the transaction. The at least one processor is further configured to receive, from the device secure element, a result associated with the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeff W.

Patent number: 10783017Abstract: A method and system for interoperability between mark-up language applications executable within a browser container, including accessing exchange scripts in each application and executing a microservices module in communication with the first application and the second application, the microservices module disposed between the applications and the browser container. The method and system, based on an interaction between the first application and the microservices module, emits a strand including both a data field and a command field. The method and system accessing a rules engine to determine at least one rule associated with the strand, generates modified strand based on the at least one rule and broadcasting the modified strand to the second application via the second exchange script, and converts the modified strand to an action command and performing a processing operation in the second application based on the action command.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: ChartIQ, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Gary Schleifer, Siddharth Gautam Dalal, Bradley Stewart Carter, Terrence Russell Thorsen, Michael Hugh McClung, Ryan Christopher Sharp
