Abstract

A system includes a processing system and a memory system. The processing system includes one or more processors. The memory system includes one or more computer-readable media that contain instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations. The operations include detecting a loading of a webpage including a document object model (DOM). The operations also include analyzing the DOM to identify a first element in the DOM. The operations also include determining, based on the first element, that the webpage is configured to accept payments. The operations also include receiving, from a provider server, a virtual token which corresponds to a user account. The operations also include injecting information from the virtual token into one or more account number fields on the webpage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a provider server, comprising:
a non-transient computer memory storing computer code; and
at least one processor executing the computer code stored in the non-transient computer memory by
performing operations comprising:

instructing a web browser extension software, running within a web browser application hosted on a user computing device, and searching through a plurality of input fields within a document object model (DOM) of a webpage, a uniform resource locator (URL) of the webpage, or both;
instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is a payment webpage to accept payments based at least in part on:
at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element in the plurality of input fields of the DOM,
at least one second payment-page-indicative element in the plurality of input fields in the URL, and
at least one payment-page-indicative confidence score generated from the at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element, the at least one second payment-page-indicative element, or any combination thereof;

instructing, when the webpage is the payment webpage, the web browser extension software and obtaining from at least one payment information tag and at least one user identifying information tag in the plurality of input fields of the DOM, item payment information to purchase at least one item and user identifying information of the user;
receiving, from the web browser extension software, the item payment information and the user identifying information of the user;
estimating at least one additional fee of a predetermined amount based at least in part on the item payment information and the user identifying information that corresponds to at least one user account;
generating a virtual token, for the at least one user account, based at least in part on the item payment information and the at least one additional fee of the predetermined amount; and
instructing, the web browser extension software and injecting at least one portion of information of the virtual token into at least one account number field within the plurality of input fields within the DOM.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code further performs operations comprising: instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is the payment webpage by identifying in the plurality of input fields of the DOM, payment-page-indicative tags, attributes, names, styles, naming patterns, placeholders, text, numbers, or any combination thereof.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code further performs operations comprising: instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is the payment webpage when the at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element in the DOM comprises a placeholder corresponding to a 16-digit number.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code performs operations comprising the generating of the virtual token by generating a virtual credit card corresponding to the at least one user account; and wherein the virtual credit card comprises a credit card number, an expiration date, and a card verification value.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code further performs operations comprising estimating tax and shipping fees to purchase the at least one item; and determining that a predetermined amount of credit is sufficient to purchase the at least one item, the estimated tax and shipping fees, and a predetermined buffer amount.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code performs operations comprising instructing the web browser extension software and injecting the at least one portion of the information of the virtual token into the at least one account number field simultaneously with loading the webpage.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor in executing the computer code performs operations comprising instructing the web browser extension software, saving the virtual token in a recent history of the user computing device, and injecting the at least one portion of the information of the virtual token into the at least one account number field simultaneously with loading the webpage when the virtual token is saved in the recent history.

8. A method, comprising:
instructing, by at least one processor of a provider server, a web browser extension software, running within a web browser application hosted on a user computing device, and searching through a plurality of input fields within a document object model (DOM) of a webpage, a uniform resource locator (URL) of the webpage, or both;
instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is a payment webpage to accept payments based at least in part on:
at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element in the plurality of input fields of the DOM,
at least one second payment-page-indicative element in the plurality of input fields in the URL, and
at least one payment-page-indicative confidence score generated from the at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element, the at least one second payment-page-indicative element, or any combination thereof;

instructing, by the at least one processor, when the webpage is the payment webpage, the web browser extension software and obtaining from at least one payment information tag and at least one user identifying information tag in the plurality of input fields of the DOM, item payment information to purchase at least one item and user identifying information of the user;
receiving, by the at least one processor, from the web browser extension software, the item payment information and the user identifying information of the user;
estimating, by the at least one processor, at least one additional fee of a predetermined amount based at least in part on the item payment information and the user identifying information on the item payment information and the user identifying information that corresponds to at least one user account;
generating, by the at least one processor, a virtual token for the at least one user account, based at least in part on the item payment information and the at least one additional fee of the predetermined amount; and
instructing, by the at least one processor, the web browser extension software, and injecting at least one portion of information of the virtual token into at least one account number field within the plurality of input fields within the DOM.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is the payment webpage comprises instructing the web browser extension software and identifying in the plurality of input fields in the DOM, payment-page-indicative tags, attributes, names, styles, naming patterns, placeholders, text, numbers, or any combination thereof.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the instructing the web browser extension software and determining that the webpage is the payment webpage when the at least one first payment-page-indicative tag element in the DOM comprises a placeholder corresponding to a 16-digit number.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the generating of the virtual token comprises generating a virtual credit card corresponding to the at least one user account; and wherein the virtual credit card comprises a credit card number
