ForgeRock has filed a patent for a computer-implemented system that integrates theme management with an authentication journey for hosted services. The system includes a switch panel, script editor, theme designer, and journey designer drag and drop means. The system allows for the configuration of authentication-related state variables, alternative switch settings, visual branding themes, and the composition of a directed graph for the authentication journey. The applied theme remains in effect until changed. GlobalData’s report on ForgeRock gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy. Buy the report here.

Integrating theme management with authentication journey for hosted services
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230297652A1) describes a computer-implemented system for integrating theme management with an authentication journey for hosted services. The system includes various components such as a switch panel, script editor, theme designer, and journey designer drag and drop means. These components allow users to specify switch block nodes, edit scripts, create themes, and compose a directed graph representing the authentication journey. The themes can be applied to named theme nodes and the switch block node directs the flow of the authentication journey. Once a theme is encountered, it applies to the authentication journey until it is changed.
The system also includes switch block nodes for language selection, added features, organization global appearance, automatically responding to accessibility properties, and step up authentication. The organization global appearance includes colors from color pickers, links, logos, background images, and expanded and collapsed features.
The directed graph, in which nodes of the authentication journey are connected, can be assembled for use with a cloud-based computing service. Examples of such services include Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure Virtual Platform.
Additionally, the patent describes a computer-implemented method for integrating theme management of user interfaces that implement an authentication journey for hosted services. This method involves receiving user input to configure switch block nodes, compose scripts, create themes, and connect nodes in the authentication journey. The method also includes applying themes to named theme nodes and directing the flow of the authentication journey using the switch block node.
Similar to the system, the method includes switch block nodes for language selection, added features, organization global appearance, automatically responding to accessibility properties, and step up authentication. The organization global appearance includes colors from color pickers, links, logos, background images, and expanded and collapsed features.
The patent also mentions the use of a tangible non-transitory computer readable storage media, which includes program instructions that, when executed, implement the method described above. The directed graph in which nodes of the authentication journey are connected can be assembled for use with a cloud-based computing service, which can be hosted on virtual or physical hardware local to the provider of the service.
