Solution Overview

Problem

Existing client connection methods require clients to log in to the same account number, resulting in high costs and poor user experience due to inefficient function utilization.

Innovation Solution

A client connection method and system where a second client obtains a sharing identifier from a first client, extracts the identification codes, and sends a connection request to a client connection server to establish a binding connection, allowing clients to connect without sharing the same account number.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If clients log in to the same account number to establish a binding relationship, then the connection between clients can be established, but the cost is very high and function utilization is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishmentVSAvoidfunction utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages client connections through sharing identifiers. Instead of requiring direct account sharing between clients, the server mediates the connection process by verifying sharing identifiers and establishing bindings, thereby reducing the cost and improving function utilization while maintaining reliable connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If clients log in to the same account number to establish a binding relationship, then the connection between clients can be established, but user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishmentVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that handles the complex authentication and binding processes transparently. Users only need to share identifiers rather than account credentials, and the server automatically manages the connection establishment, significantly improving ease of operation while ensuring reliable connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses sharing identifiers as simplified copies or representations of client identities. Instead of requiring users to share actual account numbers, the system uses these identifier copies to establish connections, making the process much more user-friendly while maintaining connection reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A client connection method is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a second client, a first link from a first sharing identifier of a first client. The first link includes a first identification code and service type information, the first identification code is used for identifying the first client, and the service type information represents a service type corresponding to a client connection server. The second client extracts the first identification code and the service type information according to the first link, determines the client connection server according to the service type information, and sends a connection request carrying the first identification code and a second identification code to the client connection server. The second client connects with the first client based on a binding connection between the first client and the second client established by the client connection server.
