Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and security concerns when logging into websites due to forgotten or incorrectly input login information, and existing simple login features like Samsung Pass are limited to mobile devices, while auto-fill features in web browsers are unreliable in new devices.

Innovation Solution

An augmented reality (AR) device that captures website information through a camera, extracts site name and URL, matches it with a database of registered websites, and outputs login information, including ID and password, either visually or audibly, to facilitate secure and convenient login across various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If simple login features like Samsung Pass are used, then login convenience is improved through biometric authentication, but device compatibility deteriorates as they cannot be used on private PCs or non-mobile devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin convenienceVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal login system that works across multiple device types (mobile devices, PCs, tablets) by capturing website information through a camera and processing it through a server. The system is not limited to specific device platforms, allowing users to log in from any device with a camera, thereby achieving multi-functionality and broad device compatibility while maintaining convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If password auto-fill features are used, then login speed is improved, but security deteriorates due to psychological burden about personal information security

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin speedVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that processes website information captured by the camera. Instead of directly accessing or storing user credentials on the device, the system captures website metadata (URL, site name), sends it to a server for processing, and receives authentication tokens or login information in return. This intermediary approach speeds up login while maintaining security by avoiding direct exposure of sensitive credentials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system captures a visual copy of the website's login page or URL through the camera, processes this visual information to extract necessary data, and uses it for authentication. This copying approach allows the system to work with visual representations rather than directly handling sensitive credentials, improving both speed and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If manual login information input is required, then security is improved through user control, but ease of operation deteriorates due to forgotten or incorrect login information

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidlogin convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures website information through the camera, extracts necessary data, and processes authentication without requiring manual input from the user. The user simply points the camera at the website, and the system handles the entire login process autonomously, eliminating the need for users to remember or manually enter credentials while maintaining security through server-side processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Disclosed are an augmented reality (AR) device for providing login information and an operating method of the AR device. The AR device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may execute an AR login mode, extract website information including a site name and a uniform resource locator (URL) of the website from an image obtained by photographing an external device through a camera, compare the extracted website information with website information of registered websites that has been pre-registered and stored in a database of memory, identify a registered website having website information matching the extracted website information, based on a result of the comparing, obtain login information including identification (ID) and password information of the identified registered website from the database, and output the obtained login information.
