The patent US12051113B2 describes a system designed to enhance the rendering of content on client devices through a structured interaction between a parent frame and a child frame. The system utilizes one or more processors that receive requests for content forwarded by a proxy on behalf of the client. This proxy is instructed by the child frame, which is embedded within a parent frame that shares the same domain. Upon receiving the request, the processors generate customized rendering code tailored for the client. This code, when executed, enables the client to invoke a third-party engine and display the results within the child frame, while also facilitating an insurance-related workflow in the parent frame. The system incorporates initialization parameters from the parent frame, accessed using a key, to further customize the rendering process.

Additionally, the patent outlines various features that enhance the functionality and security of the system. It specifies that the parent and child frames may be associated with different URLs, and the customized rendering code can be hosted on a separate domain. The system also includes provisions for client authentication through a set of credentials, ensuring that the customized rendering code is sent only after successful authentication. Furthermore, the code may include instructions for executing a portion of an API related to the third-party engine, and it can retrieve initialization parameters from hidden items within the parent frame. This comprehensive approach aims to streamline user interactions and improve the efficiency of insurance-related workflows by leveraging advanced rendering techniques and secure data handling.
