  • Host agnostic integration and interoperation system
    Patent number: 9319469
    Abstract: A host agnostic integration and interoperation system. The host agnostic integration and interoperation system includes an open platform interface and the associated conventions that define the roles of and direct operations between a host and a service application running on an external application server and allow the host to discover and integrate the functionality provided by the service application. The open platform interface employs a limited number of easily implemented semantic methods allowing a host to expose and integrate the ability to view, edit, or otherwise manipulate a document using the host supported functionality of the service application from a standard user agent. The host agnostic integration and interoperation system handles user authentication at the host using an access token and establishes a trust relationship between the host and the external application server using a lightweight but secure proof key system.
