Automated Authentication for Seamless Content Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cloud services require initial setting processes for account information, leading to privacy concerns and difficulties in sharing content across diverse devices, as they often rely on fixed infrastructure and require user authentication through traditional methods.
Innovation Solution
A content sharing system comprising a first device, a second device, and a server, where the first device transmits authentication information to the server and then shares content with the second device, enabling easy content sharing across devices without the need for manual authentication processes, using communication interfaces like NFC, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional cloud service authentication methods are used, then user account security is maintained, but user convenience and ease of operation deteriorate due to manual account setup and authentication processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication by storing authentication information in advance on multiple devices. When a user wants to share content, the authentication is already established through pre-stored credentials, eliminating the need for real-time manual authentication and account setup processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent copies authentication information across multiple devices associated with the same user account. Instead of requiring users to manually set up accounts on each device, the system replicates authentication credentials (such as device identifiers or cryptographic keys) across authorized devices, enabling seamless authentication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed infrastructure cloud servers are used, then service stability is maintained, but adaptability to diverse devices and platforms deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication mechanism is designed to be universal across different device types, operating systems, and platforms. The system uses platform-agnostic authentication data structures and communication protocols that work consistently whether the user is on mobile, desktop, tablet, or other devices, while maintaining connection to stable cloud infrastructure.
3Loss of time
If manual account setup processes are required, then user privacy can be protected through controlled authentication, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service authentication where devices automatically perform authentication using pre-stored credentials without requiring user intervention for account setup. The authentication process is automated through background services that handle credential verification, reducing both time consumption and user exposure to privacy risks during manual authentication entry.

AI summary
A device comprising: a display; a communication interface; and at least one processor configured to: receive from an external device, via the communication interface, authentication information associated with a user of the external device; transmit the authentication information to a server; transmit a request for content to the server when the device is successfully authenticated by the server based on the authentication information; receive the content from the server; and control the display to display the content.
