Client-IC Chip Command Embedding for Reduced Server Load

The patent segments the command transmission path by allowing the client to directly send commands to the IC chip for certain operations, while the communication server retains control for security-critical functions. This segmentation reduces the number of intermediaries in the command path, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining necessary control.

The patent introduces a command execution result notification mechanism where the IC chip can directly notify the client of execution results for certain commands. This intermediary notification path bypasses the traditional server-mediated response path, reducing the time required to obtain command execution results while maintaining system control.

The patent segments the server's responsibilities by allowing the client to directly interact with the IC chip for non-critical operations. The communication server focuses on security-critical functions such as authentication, key management, and monitoring, while the client handles command transmission and basic result processing. This segmentation reduces the server's processing load while maintaining centralized control over critical functions.

The patent enables the client to perform certain operations directly with the IC chip without requiring server intervention for each command. The client can send commands directly to the IC chip and receive responses, effectively serving itself for non-critical operations. This self-service capability reduces the server's processing load while the server maintains oversight through authentication and monitoring mechanisms.

The patent segments communication paths into security-critical paths (mediated by the server) and non-critical paths (direct between client and IC chip). Authentication, authorization, and key management operations use server-mediated paths, while routine operations use direct client-IC chip paths. This segmentation reduces communication overhead for non-critical operations while maintaining security control where necessary.

The patent uses the server as an intermediary only when necessary for security control, rather than requiring server mediation for all communications. The server acts as an intermediary for authentication, key distribution, and monitoring, but allows direct client-IC chip communication for routine operations. This selective intermediation reduces communication overhead while maintaining security control.
