US 12,010,111 B2 · Providing credentials from web hosted application to a network device on a local network

Abstract

A server application can serve a web application to a client device as a client web application from a web application host. The server application can be a secure HTTPS website. The web application on the client device can provide a token over a local network using a HTTP request to a target device on the local network. The token is associated with a secure area of a remote repository. Having received the one or more tokens, the target device can indicate that a link has been established to the secure area by writing to or reading from the secure area as the server application informs the client web application executing in a browser at a client device of the read/write. The target device and client web application can then communicate via the secure area, for example, to store or retrieve data associated with a user.

A target device of a network for accessing a secure area of a remote repository comprising:

a memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions;
and
a processor configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions to:
receive a request from a client web application running in a web browser of a client device of the network to access a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) uniform resource locator (URL) link associated with the target device, wherein the HTTP URL link of the request includes an internet protocol (IP) address of the target device that encodes a token associated with the secure area as a query parameter;
read the query parameter to obtain the token;
store the token at the target device;
create a link to the remote repository based on the token, wherein creating the link to the remote repository comprises:
writing to the secure area based on the token;
and
receiving a notification from a server application directed to the client web application;
and
access the secure area based on the created link.
