Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates communication between an embedded code in a web page and a stand-alone application. During operation, the system first embeds a code within a web page that is displayed in a browser. Next, the embedded code receives information indicating a communication method provided by a stand-alone application, via a first communication channel. The embedded code subsequently sends the contextual information associated with a user browser session by calling the communication method, via a second communication channel, thereby allowing the stand-alone application to inherit the contextual information from the web browser.
Claims21
A computer-executed method, comprising:
- embedding code within a web page which is displayed by web browser;
- receiving, by the embedded code, information indicating a communication method provided by a stand-alone application, via a first communication channel;
- and
- sending, by the embedded code, contextual information associated with a user browser session by calling the communication method, via a second communication channel, thereby allowing the stand-alone application to inherit the contextual information from the web browser.
A computer readable non-transitory storage medium storing instructions which when executed by computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- embedding a code within a web page which is displayed by web browser;
- receiving, by the embedded code, information indicating a communication method provided by a stand-alone application, via a first communication channel;
- and
- sending, by the embedded code, contextual information associated with a user browser session by calling the communication method, via a second communication channel, thereby allowing the stand-alone application to inherit the contextual information from the web browser.
A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- embedding code within a web page which is displayed by web browser;
- receiving, by the embedded code, information indicating a communication method provided by a stand-alone application, via a first communication channel;
- and
- sending, by the embedded code, contextual information associated with a user browser session by calling the communication method, via a second communication channel, thereby allowing the stand-alone application to inherit the contextual information from the web browser.
