  • Publication number: 20160313958
    Abstract: An abstraction for one or more commands associated with a client application may be received upon deployment of a host application. The abstraction may be an extension with a same package and code such that the extension is enabled across a variety of platforms, host applications, and devices. For example, the extension may be displayed through a user interface of the host application based on definitions contained within the abstraction such that the extension is compatible with a platform and device on which the host application is deployed. The commands may be translated into graphical control elements, and displayed in conjunction with the extension based on the definitions. Upon invocation of one or more of the commands, an action may be performed based on the definitions enabling the client application to interact with content being created, edited, and/or viewed in the host application in an appropriate context.

  • Patent number: 9411902
    Abstract: A client system interacts with a sandbox environment to host a web browser control within the sandbox. A webpage URL, a URL to a script file to be injected into the webpage, a name of the script method to be invoked, and the event to look for to trigger the script method sent to the sandbox environment from the client. The sandbox environment downloads the script file from the cloud using the script URL and loads a rendering engine with the specified webpage URL. The specified script file is subsequently injected into the loaded webpage at the sandbox environment. After the specified event is fired, the sandbox environment triggers the specified script method and stores the results within a results array, accessible to the client system.

  • Patent number: 8799988
    Abstract: A set of protocols support a common script object model for document interaction that crosses document types and runtime environments. A cross frame browser-based protocol may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous mechanism for transmitting script object model requests to document hosts and managing responses to developer code in standards-compliant browsers. A hostable runtime Application Programming Interface (API) may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous protocol to transmit script object model requests across process boundaries to document hosts back to developer code with minimum performance impact on the document host.
