Aggregated Authentication for Action Item Consolidation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems face inefficiencies when users receive multiple action item requests from various resource providers, often in different formats and at different times, leading to the risk of missed notifications and time-consuming responses.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that automatically scans messages for deadlines, aggregates relevant information, prompts users for authentication, and initiates actions through a client computer and server computer, allowing for streamlined responses to multiple action items with a single authentication process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users respond to each action item request individually, then all action items can be addressed, but the process becomes very time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple action item requests into a single aggregated action. Instead of requiring users to respond to each action item separately from different resource providers, the system consolidates these requests and allows the user to respond once to a unified representation, significantly reducing the time required while maintaining complete response to all action items.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal response mechanism that handles multiple action item requests of different types and from different providers through a single interface. This multi-functional approach allows one user action to affect multiple resource providers simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate responses for each action item.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple resource providers send action item requests, then comprehensive service coverage is achieved, but the complexity of managing these requests increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of multiple action item requests from different resource providers into a single unified system. The client computer consolidates these requests and presents them as a single actionable item, reducing the complexity of managing multiple separate requests while maintaining coverage from all service providers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer (the client computer's action item aggregation mechanism) between the multiple resource providers and the user. This intermediary consolidates and simplifies the interface, allowing users to interact with multiple providers through a single unified request structure, thereby reducing management complexity.
3Ease of operation
If users manually respond to each action item, then direct control is maintained, but authentication and authorization processes become repetitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple authentication and authorization operations into a single aggregated authentication process. Instead of requiring users to authenticate separately for each action item request from different providers, the system performs one authentication action that applies to all consolidated action items, significantly reducing authentication time while maintaining user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary aggregation and consolidation of action item requests before presenting them to the user for authentication. By preparing and organizing the multiple requests in advance into a unified structure, the system enables single-action authentication that covers all action items, eliminating repetitive authentication processes.
Data Source
AI summary
A method that can allow for aggregated authentication and authorization of future actions is disclosed. The method may aggregate authentication and authorization based at least in part on automatically and periodically scanning data at a client computer. The client computer can display an aggregated set of deadlines and prompt the user operating the client computer to approve of further actions. Once approved, the client computer can transmit a single authentication message to a service computer in order to initiate a plurality of actions.
