  • Patent number: 11907904
    Abstract: Disclosed is a new intelligent forms automation solution for receiving a request or submission involving multiple types of non-native forms in a consistent manner. An engine locates a field in a non-native form, extracts a globally unique identifier (GUID) from the field and form data from data fields of the non-native form. The GUID is used by the engine to identify and retrieve a virtual copy of a native form identified. The engine fills the virtual copy of the native form with form data from the non-native form. Since the native form can have an associated workflow process, the form data from the non-native form is processed through the workflow. The native form and the non-native form can be created independently of one another. In some cases, a native form can be used to create a non-native form with a hidden field containing the GUID of the native form.

  • Patent number: 11888955
    Abstract: A client application can be configured to render user interface cards, based on card data provided by a remote card engine. An API Response as Card (ARC) engine can intercept a communication between the client application and the card engine, and determine that the communication is associated with another backend system. The ARC engine can request that the backend system perform an account action associated with a user account. The ARC engine can provide information derived from a response from the backend system, reflecting a result of the account action, to the card engine. The card action can generate card data associated with the result of the account action performed by the backend system, and the client application can use the card data to render and display a corresponding card, even if neither the client application nor the card engine are natively configured to interface with the backend system.
