Mobile Browser User Information Sharing via Encrypted File Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminal browsers do not effectively share user information across different browsers, leading to inconvenience when users need to log in to the same websites using different browsers, as each browser manages its own account and password data independently.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for sharing user information between mobile terminal browsers, which involves installing a menu for importing and exporting saved user information, encoding and encrypting the data, and decrypting it for secure transfer between browsers, allowing seamless login across multiple browsers without re-entering credentials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each browser manages user information independently, then browser security and data integrity are improved, but user convenience and inter-browser compatibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (file export/import system with encryption) that mediates between the isolated browser storage systems. This allows secure transfer of user information between browsers while maintaining the security boundaries of each browser, thus resolving the contradiction between security and convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts user information from the closed browser storage system and places it in an external encrypted file format. This extraction enables the information to be shared between browsers while the encryption maintains security, allowing independent browser management to coexist with inter-browser compatibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple browsers are installed on a mobile terminal, then user choice and functionality are improved, but time consumption for login operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-exporting user information to encrypted files that can be quickly imported by other browsers. This preparation work is done once and reused across multiple browsers, eliminating the need to re-enter credentials each time a different browser is used.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates copies of user information in an encrypted file format that can be shared across multiple browsers. Instead of requiring users to manually re-enter credentials in each browser, the system copies the authenticated information securely between browsers through file import/export operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If user information is exported to external files, then inter-browser sharing capability is improved, but security risks from data exposure increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the security parameter of stored data through encryption. The user information is converted from plain text to encrypted format using cryptographic algorithms, changing the security state from vulnerable to protected while maintaining the ability to share the data structure between browsers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potential harm of external file storage (security vulnerability) into a benefit by implementing encryption. The very act of exporting to external files, which could expose data, is transformed into a secure sharing mechanism where encryption protects the data while still enabling inter-browser compatibility.
