  • Patent number: 11792196
    Abstract: In the context of a co-browse session, one of the participants elects to include a screenshare task in which a screenshare of a browser window displaying a website will be provided to other participants of the co-browse session. When the screenshare task is started, a location of an address bar of the web browser is identified, optional pre-processing is applied to the image of the address bar, and a character recognition process, is used to determine the characters of the URL in the browser's address bar. The URL is compared with a list of allowed website URLs, and the screenshare session is selectively allowed only if the URL is contained in the list of allowed URLs. Once the URL has been approved, a slice of pixels the address bar is obtained and monitored for changes to the pixels that may indicate a change to the URL.

  • Publication number: 20220278992
    Abstract: Secure sharing of a document on a co-browse session is implemented by causing a JavaScript implemented document viewer to create HTML5 description of a rendered view of a document's content, and transmitting the HTML5 description of the rendered view of the document content as a DOM elements on the co-browse session. The rendered view of the document is overlayed on the web page being co-browsed, which enables the participants to the co-browse session to collaboratively view the rendered view of the document. However, since the document itself only resides in the visitor's browser, the document itself is not transmitted on the co-browse session. Media URLs can also be shared, and the participants' views of the audio/video media is synchronized by causing the video to play locally at each participant but synchronized with the visitor. Live video of the participants to the co-browse session is also implemented.
