Cross-Platform Cloud Device Communication via Access Token Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication technologies do not provide an effective solution for devices connected to different cloud platforms to communicate with each other, limiting interoperability and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that involves obtaining an access token from a second cloud platform to access a resource link, allowing a first cloud platform to determine a resource link for communication between devices connected to different cloud platforms by replacing endpoint information and establishing a mapping correspondence between endpoint information of both platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices are connected to different cloud platforms, then device isolation and platform independence are maintained, but communication between devices on different platforms is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an access token as an intermediary mechanism that enables cross-platform communication. The first cloud platform obtains an access token from the second cloud platform, which serves as a mediator allowing the first cloud platform to access resource links on the second cloud platform without compromising platform independence. This resolves the contradiction by enabling communication while maintaining platform boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the communication process into distinct components: access token acquisition, resource link retrieval, and communication establishment. By dividing the cross-platform communication into these manageable segments, the system can maintain platform independence at each stage while achieving overall communication capability between different cloud platforms.
2Reliability
If cloud platforms are isolated from each other, then platform security and independence are maintained, but interoperability between platforms is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The access token acts as a secure intermediary that allows controlled interaction between isolated cloud platforms. The first cloud platform uses the access token to securely access the second resource link without direct platform integration, maintaining security boundaries while enabling interoperability for specific communication needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The access token serves multiple functions: it authenticates the first cloud platform, authorizes access to the second resource link, and enables cross-platform communication. This multi-functional element allows isolated platforms to interoperate securely without compromising their individual security models.

AI summary
Disclosed is a communication method for a device, a first cloud platform and a second cloud platform. The communication method includes obtaining, by the first cloud platform, a first access token from the second cloud platform. The first access token is configured for the first cloud platform to access a second resource link of a second device on the second cloud platform, and the second device is connected to the second cloud platform. The method also includes obtaining, by the first cloud platform, the second resource link based on the first access token. The method further includes determining, by the first cloud platform, a first resource link of the second device on the first cloud platform based on the second resource link. The first resource link is configured for a first device connected to the first cloud platform to communicate with the second device.
