Authentication System Using Operation Folder Credential Segmentation

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing authentication systems require users to repeatedly input login information to access servers, which is time-consuming and prone to unauthorized access if login information is leaked.

Innovation Solution

An authentication system that includes a setting processing unit to set password information for access target data in a predetermined operation folder, a transmission processing unit to transmit an access request with the password information, and an authentication processing unit to authenticate access based on the included password information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If login information is required for each access, then security is maintained, but operability deteriorates due to repeated input requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidoperability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary authentication by setting password information in advance in a predetermined operation folder associated with access information. This allows the authentication result to be prepared beforehand, eliminating the need for repeated login input while maintaining security through pre-established credentials.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service authentication where the user terminal automatically transmits access requests including password information without requiring manual login input. The authentication process serves itself by using pre-configured credentials stored in the operation folder, improving operability while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If access information is provided in advance to improve operability, then ease of operation improves, but security deteriorates due to potential leakage

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveoperabilityVSAvoidsecurity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments authentication credentials by storing password information in a specific predetermined operation folder associated with particular access information. This segmentation allows access information to be provided in advance for improved operability while maintaining security through isolated, context-specific credential storage that prevents unauthorized use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by setting password information in a specific predetermined operation folder rather than using universal credentials. This localized credential storage ensures that even if access information is leaked, the password information remains protected in its specific context, preventing unauthorized access while allowing convenient access for authorized users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If manual login input is required, then security is maintained through active authentication, but productivity deteriorates due to time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidaccess efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service authentication where the user terminal automatically transmits access requests including password information without requiring manual login input. This eliminates time-consuming manual authentication while maintaining security through automatic credential verification, significantly improving access efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables continuous authentication by pre-setting password information in operation folders. Once credentials are established, multiple access requests can be transmitted continuously without repeated manual authentication, maintaining security while improving productivity through uninterrupted access operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A signage system includes: a setting processing unit that, when access information for accessing the access target data is selected by a user, sets password information necessary to access the access target data to a predetermined operation folder associated with the access information in advance; a transmission processing unit that transmits an access request including the password information based on the access information; and an authentication processing unit that authenticates the access to the access target data based on the password information included in the access request.
