  • Bridge for communicating data outside of a mobile application
    Patent number: 10565591
    Abstract: In certain computing environments, such as certain applications for mobile devices, popup browser windows may not be supported. This can cause functionality issues, as an existing website may use a popup window to perform a service (such as authentication). Thus, if a user is viewing a webpage within an application (such as a WebView application) that does not support popups, the user may be unable to proceed with a particular action. This issue can be resolved, in various embodiments, by introducing functionality that causes a separate browser program to be opened and then returning the user back to the mobile app via a particular URI (such as a deep link URI). By providing this functionality, mobile apps that rely on underlying web content with popups can thus be made to function in an environment in which they would otherwise fail, in various cases.
