Automatic Website Login via Service Application Token
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face the inconvenience of having to manually log in to websites by remembering and entering their username and password, especially when they are already logged into a service application on their radio device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that facilitates automatic login to a website by utilizing a login token obtained from a service application running on a radio device, where the web browser downloads a web page, receives a login request, sends a login token request to the service provider's server, and then sends the login token to the web server for automatic authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually log in to websites by entering username and password, then security and authentication reliability are ensured, but user convenience and operation ease deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service application as an intermediary component that mediates between the user's existing login session and the website authentication system. The service application intercepts login requests, automatically retrieves login information from the stored session, and completes authentication without requiring manual user input, thus resolving the contradiction between convenience and security
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing login information and session data in the service application when the user initially logs in. This pre-stored information is then automatically utilized for subsequent website logins, eliminating the need for repeated manual authentication while maintaining security through the intermediary service application
2Productivity
If users are continuously logged in via the service application, then service accessibility is improved, but the need for separate website login processes creates operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the service application's login session with the website authentication process. By combining the separately maintained login states into a unified authentication mechanism through the service application, the system eliminates redundant login processes while maintaining continuous service accessibility, thereby reducing operational complexity
3Ease of operation
If automatic login is implemented using service application credentials, then user convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases due to additional authentication mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The service application provides self-service functionality by automatically managing the authentication process. It autonomously retrieves stored login information, intercepts login requests, and completes authentication without requiring additional user actions or complex user-facing interfaces, thereby achieving automation while minimizing perceived system complexity for the user

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a radio device (1) for facilitating login on a website. The method comprises, by means of a web browser (23) in the radio device, downloading (S1) a web page (b) of the website from a web server (5) hosting the website. The method also comprises receiving (S2) a login request (d) from the web server, the login request comprising a request for login information for a service from a service application (22) of the service in the radio device. The method also comprises, in response to the received login request and by means of the service application, automatically sending (S4) a login token request (e) to a server of a service provider (4) providing the service. The method also comprises, from the server of the service provider, receiving (S5) a login token response (f) comprising a login token. The method also comprises, to the web server, sending (S6) a login information message (g) comprising the login token. The disclosure also relates to a radio device as well as to a web server and a method performed in a web server.
