Abstract
Systems and methods for redirecting control of a process performed on a first application on a user device to another second application on the user device include receiving, through a controlling a process, a request to perform an action (e.g., user authentication). A determination may be made whether the second application is able to facilitate completion of the action (e.g. performing the authentication). Control of the process may then be redirected from the first application to the second application in order to complete the action.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display device;
- a biometric authentication interface;
- and
- a memory having stored thereon instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a request made by a user to perform an action within a first program running on the system, wherein the first program is configured to display Internet content to the user;
- responsive to the action requiring an authentication step to complete the action, checking, by the first program, indication information accessible to the first program, wherein the indication information specifies that a second program on the system is configured to access the biometric authentication interface and is capable of performing the authentication step outside of the first program, wherein the indication information is accessible to the first program after the second program is installed on the mobile device;
- causing the second program to display, to the user, a user interface that is configured to prompt the user to utilize the biometric authentication interface to take one or more steps to complete the authentication step;
- and
- responsive to the user completing the authentication step via the second program, facilitating completion of the action from within the first program running on the system.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that are executable by a system to cause the system to perform operations,
- wherein the system comprises
- a processor,
- a display device,
- a biometric authentication interface, and
- wherein the operations comprise:
- detecting a request made by a user to perform an action within a first program running on the system, wherein the first program is configured to display digital content including digital text and digital graphics to the user;
- responsive to the action requiring an authentication step to complete the action, checking, by the first program, indication information accessible to the first program, wherein the indication information specifies that a second program on the system is configured to access the biometric authentication interface and is capable of performing the authentication step outside of the first program, wherein the indication information is accessible to the first program after the second program is installed on the mobile device;
- causing the second program to display, to the user, a user interface that is configured to prompt the user to utilize the biometric authentication interface to take one or more steps to complete the authentication step;
- and
- responsive to the user completing the authentication step via the second program, facilitating completion of the action from within the first program running on the system.
7 more elements
A method, comprising:
- detecting, at a system, a request made by a user to perform an action within a first program running on the system, wherein the first program is configured to display digital content to the user,
- wherein the system comprises
- a processor,
- a display device, and
- a biometric authentication interface;
- responsive to the action requiring an authentication step to complete the action, checking, by the first program, indication information accessible to the first program, wherein the indication information specifies that a second program on the system is configured to access the biometric authentication interface and is capable of performing the authentication step outside of the first program, wherein the indication information is accessible to the first program after the second program is installed on the mobile device;
- causing the second program to display, to the user, a user interface that is configured to prompt the user to utilize the biometric authentication interface to take one or more steps to complete the authentication step;
- and
- responsive to the user completing the authentication step via the second program, facilitating completion of the action from within the first program running on the system.
