Abstract: In an example embodiment, a shared worker object is used in a web browser to synchronize data across tabs in the web browser, without relying upon a web server to perform or coordinate that synchronization. More particularly, each browsing context includes a web page and zero or more web worker objects, each web worker object corresponding to a different module of the web page. The zero or more web worker objects in each web page user interface are then configured to communicate with a single shared worker, through which all data requests and data changes are sent. The single shared worker forwards data requests and data changes to the web server, but also tracks such data requests and then automatically updates any browsing context that requested a particular piece of data in the past with a change that occurred to that particular piece of data.

Abstract: A token specifying a payment account is issued to a party to which payments are to be made and the token is installed in a specially configured camera.

Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for adding watermarks using an embedded browser. To provide protection to sensitive information from a network application rendered via an embedded browser of a client application, the client application can generate an overlay with a digital watermark, and apply the overlay over the embedded browser.
