Client Installation Server Account Data Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for downloading and installing clients are cumbersome, leading to a poor user experience due to the tedious process of re-registering account information, which affects subsequent usage and increases storage requirements on servers.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that deliver user information and installation information together, allowing users to log in directly using pre-obtained account information, reducing the need for repeated registration and optimizing storage space by determining account information based on login status and sending it along with installation information to the user terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users download client installation information from a website server and complete local installation, then the client can be used, but users must go through a tedious account registration procedure which degrades user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The server determines and provides account information to the user terminal before the client installation is completed. This preliminary action allows users to skip the tedious registration procedure after installation, as the account information is already prepared and transmitted in advance along with the installation information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the transmission of installation information and account information into a single process. The server transmits both the client installation information and the determined account information together to the user terminal, eliminating the need for separate registration steps and improving user experience.
2Reliability
If the server stores account information for multiple users to enable client login, then user authentication is enabled, but storage space requirements on the server increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary account information (such as user identifiers) that is needed for authentication, rather than storing complete user profiles or excessive data. This extraction approach enables authentication capability while minimizing the storage space required on the server.

AI summary
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus of downloading and installing a client. The method includes: upon receiving a request message of downloading client software that includes an identifier of the client software from a user terminal, a server obtaining account information of a user and installation information of the client software corresponding to the identifier of the client software, and sending the obtained account information and installation information of the client software to the user terminal. As such, when pushing the installation information of the client software to the user terminal, the server also provides the account information that is used for login of the client software to the user terminal, thus shortening the tedious procedure of re-registering the account information used for logging into the client software by the user, speeding up the user login of the client software and effectively improving user experience without the need of repeatedly registering the account information by the user. This saves the storage space of an application server and improves the storage capability of the application server.
