  • Patent number: 11632347
    Abstract: Systems herein supply hero cards that display contextual information and actions based on backend systems. The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server. The hero server can determine which connectors to backend systems relate to the user device, and then can retrieve result information from one or more of the backend systems. The result information populates the hero card, which the hero agent displays within the application. Action buttons on the hero card cause the hero agent to contact one or more of the backend systems to cause an action to take place there.

  • Patent number: 11526340
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide context-based application suggestions to a user in real time. A user device can identify a keyword displayed in an application, such as an email application. The user device can request a card from a connector external to the user device. The connector can identify an application that relates to the keyword and determine a current installation status for the application with respect to the user device. The connector can query a management server at which the user device is enrolled to request the installation status. If the application is not installed on the user device, the connector can instruct the user device to prompt the user to install the application. If the application is installed, the connector can instruct the user device to prompt the user to launch the installed application.
